Covenants
Covenants are a key part of the Shadowlands expansion. Selecting a Covenant gives you access to exclusive abilities - one that is Covenant-wide, and one that is specific to your class. You will also be given a choice of Soulbinds to enhance your power. For more information on Covenants, click here.
Changing Covenants - Factors to Consider:
9.1.5 made it pretty easy to swap your Covenant on a regular basis without having to wait for the weekly Cooldown to swap back. If you always wondered how it is to play Night Fae or Necrolord Demonology Warlock in PvP, now is the time to try it out! As 9.1.5 showed, Necrolord Demonology Warlock seems to be straight-up better than its Night Fae counterpart.
Ranking of Covenants:
#1 Necrolords
Strengths:
Necrolords give us a very strong offensive ability
屠戮箭
and a very strong defensive ability with
血肉铸造
. Decimating Bolt has great synergy with our specialization and provides us with additional on-demand instant damage.
Weaknesses:
Necrolord Soulbinds are not the best but still decent.
Best Soulbind: Marileth > Emeni
#2 Night Fae
Strengths:
灵魂变形
is also a very potent defensive cooldown. It provides us with additional mobility which can result in outplaying melees by forcing their mobility CDs without using our
恶魔传送门
or
恶魔法阵
. While
灵魂腐化
doesn't do the most damage, the Mastery buff it provides is quite significant, especially if you play the Tyrant Build. Night Fae's Soulbinds are also the by far the best.
Weaknesses:
There isn't really a weakness to Night Fae.
Best Soulbinds:
Niya > Dreamweaver > Korayn
#3 Venthyr:
Strengths:
Venthyr would give us the best Soulbind for Demonology with Nadjia the Mistblade, providing
漠然困境
,
混沌代理人
, and
兴奋追猎者
.
Weakness:
While
暗影之门
is a decent defensive ability,
灾祸降临
is pretty useless in PvP given there's not much synergy.
Best Soulbind: Nadjia > Draven > Theotar
#4 Kyrian
Strengths
: Quite similar to Venthyr,
召唤执事者
will be a very strong defensive choice but
碎魂奉纳
is just too bad in a PvP scenario to be relevant. The cast time is just too long for how little value it gives us.
Weaknesses:
碎魂奉纳
is just too bad in a PvP scenario to be relevant. The cast time is just too long for how much damage it deals considering there's no other synergy with Demonology. In addition to that, Necrolord and Venthyr just have straight-up better Soulbinds.
Best Soulbind: Pelagos > Mikanikos > Kleia
Soulbinds
Soulbinding is a new progression system that allows you to bind yourself to a significant member of your Covenant and share some of their power. Each Covenant has three potential Soulbind options with unique bonuses which can be powered up through a Soulbind tree. As you gain Renown with your Covenant, more rows of your Soulbind tree will be unlocked. Conduits add further possibility for customization, filling empty sockets with one of three bonus types. For more information on Soulbinds, click here.
Conduits
Conduits are available in three types; Potency, Endurance, and Finesse. Potency Conduits increase your spell power, Endurance Conduits provide additional defense, and Finesse Conduits provide you with additional utility. Some Conduits are the same across classes but some are specific to your class. For more information on Conduits, click here.
I would rank the Conduits like this:
Potency:
恶魔敢死队
>
生血
>
暴虐之魂
l >
肉食追踪者
Endurance:
决意屏障
>
累积活力
>
恶魔血石
Finesse:
恶魔动能
>
邪能迅捷
>
恐惧之影
Best Covenant for Demonology Warlock in PvP
This section will discuss the factors that come into play when choosing a Covenant, noting the strengths and weaknesses of each. Covenants will be discussed from best to worst below.
Playing as a Kyrian Demonology Warlock in PvP
Signature Covenant Ability -
召唤执事者
This looks like a fairly strong defensive CD. The 3 Phials of Serenity don't share a cooldown with Healthstone and can be modified via Soulbinds to automatically trigger once on low HP. It will recover 20% Health and removes all diseases, curses, poisons, and bleedings.
Class Covenant Ability -
碎魂奉纳
This deals underwhelming damage for a 2 second cast time spell. Generally speaking, abilities that just deal (low) damage and don't provide any further bonuses are just straight-up bad for Demonology. We are already relying very hard on hard-casted spells to keep our damage going. There just isn't a scenario where this spell would be useful.
Factors to Consider
You should time your Phials of Serenity from
召唤执事者
to match your opponents offensive CDs. With it removing bleedings and poisons its exceptional good versus Assassination Rogues and Feral Druids. You should probably use
碎魂奉纳
whenever you can free cast, to get some value out of it.
Soulbind - Pelagos
Pelagos doesn't look bad at the first glance, as he provides us flat Mastery from
战斗冥想
and flat Versatility from
放下过去
. The rest, however, looks very underwhelming - especially the lack of a second
Potency Conduit.
Soulbind - Kleia
Kleia is a very utility and team-based Soulbind, providing a lot of effects that are useful for your teammates.
载魂者的追击
is only picked for the Potency Conduit, the slow is useless since we have
疲劳诅咒
.
骁勇打击
isn't good either since critical strike chance is not a good stat for Demonology.
Soulbind - Mikanikos
Mikanikos is probably the 2nd best Soulbind. Even though
行动的召唤:布隆
is going to be very inconsistent in arena (getting 90 spells out is going to be difficult),
掌炉大师的滤网
is working as a Last Stand defensive CD.
灵钢之钳
could also grant some advantage against melee cleaves and works like Relentless did in BfA.
Playing as a Necrolord Demonology Warlock in PvP
Signature Covenant Ability -
血肉铸造
This seems to be a powerful defensive ability, paired with
灵魂榨取
it provides a decent shield.
Class Covenant Ability -
屠戮箭
This has, again, a pretty long cast time but it actually gives us decent damage and a huge buff to our main single-target spell
恶魔之箭
.
Factors to Consider
Try to have as much uptime on
血肉铸造
as possible - it's probably best casting it basically on CD. At the beginning of arena matches and Battlegrounds you should always cast it after the preparation time ended but before you actually engage with other players. In arena the priority should look like this: run to your pillar, cast
恶魔传送门
, put your
恶魔法阵
down and immediately start casting
血肉铸造
for that nice shield! Regarding
屠戮箭
, I would recommend casting it as early as possible, since the buff you get from it doesn't have a timer and can be consumed whenever.
Soulbind - Marileth
2 Interesting Conduits:
乌兹的和谐覆层
is just another useful defensive passive ability and nice to have in PvP.
终极形态
seems to be more useful for healers to avoid CC, but if it actually gives us immunity to Interrupts it might as well be a good choice for us.
Soulbind - Emeni
This seems to be a good Soulbind for Demonology. It gives us primary stat from
身先士卒
, maximum life from
艾米妮的优美之皮
and movement speed for nearby enemies from
软骨脚趾
which allows us to kite easier.
硫磺喷发
seems to be a viable option as well, giving us an additional defense in form of a Fear when being low.
Soulbind - Heirmir
A very underwhelming Soulbind, pretty much nothing of interest to get here. Serrated Spaulders could be nice against melee cleaves depending on its tuning, but the rest is basically useless sadly.
Playing as a Night Fae Demonology Warlock in PvP
Signature Covenant Ability -
灵魂变形
This is a nice movement ability that grants you additional kite potential.
Class Covenant Ability -
灵魂腐化
This is an underwhelming damage ability with an irrelevant passive bonus.
Factors to Consider
Be smart about using
灵魂变形
. You probably shouldn't use it as a one time Blink if your opponents have gap closers ready. They would immediately be back on hitting you again. Instead, try to use it as an extension of your other mobility spells to extend your kiting or use it to blink towards pillars to LoS your enemies. I'm not sure if it's even worth casting
灵魂腐化
. The damage is pretty low and the passive is basically irrelevant for Demonology. If you can free cast and find time to cast it, do it. But if you are pressured you shouldn't focus on it at all. It doesn't have any priority whatsoever.
Soulbind - Niya
While Mastery given from
林地复兴
isn't that bad for Demonology, the rest of the tree doesn't provide us anything useful in PvP.
Soulbind - Dreamweaver
Dreamweaver offers 2 interesting things for PvP:
灵茧守护者
and
延缓之声
.
延缓之声
, being basically a cheat death, could give you a second chance in arena if you manage to kite well after it procs.
灵茧守护者
could be interesting for Demonology especially since we have a lot of stuns.
Soulbind - Korayn
This seems to be designed for tanks. The only thing being interesting is
坚守阵地
, granting you a 15% physical damage reduction if you don't move for 5 seconds. Overall I would say a 15% damage reduction is not worth tanking all the damage and you're better off kiting instead of tanking melees.
Playing as a Venthyr Demonology Warlock in PvP
Signature Covenant Ability -
暗影之门
This is probably the best defensive ability of all Covenants. Lets you force your opponents mobility abilities without using your gate or teleport.
Class Covenant Ability -
灾祸降临
Since the bolt travels and deals damage to all targets in its way, there is a high chance of it breaking CC which is a huge unwanted side effect. Applying a random curse doesn't negate that.
Factors to Consider
When casting
灾祸降临
take care so you don't accidentally break CC effects. If you're playing in a cleave composition or battlegrounds, try to cast it so you hit as many targets as possible for maximum damage. Try using
暗影之门
in a way your opponents are forced to use their mobility to reach you again. A way to use
传送
is casting
暗影之门
and immediately porting back to your port location after your enemies reach you to outplay them.
Soulbind - Nadjia
Nadjia is also a very powerful Soulbind. Providing is us with a regular Haste Proc from
兴奋追猎者
, decent outplay potential with
混沌代理人
and an incredible strong passive with
漠然困境
.
Soulbind - Theotar
Theotar is a bad Soulbind for PvP. You won't get much value out of
抚慰阴影
and
感激之情
.
Soulbind - Draven
General Draven isn't that bad for PvP. The damage reduction from
岩石效命
is going to be nice. Depending on what you're playing with,
行动一致
could also be a powerful tool. Its weakness is definitely the lack of a second Potency Conduit since we won't get a lot of value out of
坚守阵地
.
