Necrolord Unholy Death Knight Covenant Abilities
Necrolord Death Knight Class Ability:
The Necrolord Class Ability for Death Knights of all specializations is
: a 2 minute cooldown that, every second for 12 seconds (including on press), does AoE damage around you, and attempts to pull a target that currently resides 8 yards or further from you into melee range. This ability deals shadow damage and scales with our mastery.
There are a lot of subtleties regarding the implementation of this spell, and caveats to note:
It attempts to grip when used.
It
can
grip the same target repeatedly, but no more than once every 4s.
It triggers a proc of
3 times during its cast.
It cannot grip targets immune to movement, or targets less than 8 yards away from you.
It also cannot grip targets out of combat.
The ability is mainly a 2 minute AoE Cooldown. The grip portion is somtimes useful in PvE, especially when spread-out targets need to be clumped up. The
is really nice and will help with our downtime.
Necrolord Death Knight Signature Ability:
is a channeled shield ability that provides 20% damage reduction when channeled. The shield in combination with the damage reduction makes this ability an extremely potent defensive!
Necrolord Conduit for
- A simple damage increase to
. Buffed heavily in 9.2 and now generally an S-tier conduit, especially when we pick up our second legendary!
Unholy Death Knight Conduit Guide
Necrolord Exclusive Legendary for Unholy Death Knight
Necrolord Legendary
:
duration is increased by 4 seconds and the frequency it grants
is increased by 2 seconds (from 3 total procs to 5). Additionally, the first time enemies are damaged by
they take 20% increased damage from you (and your pets) for 12 seconds.
Buffing the duration of
by 4 seconds is straight away a ~30% damage increase to the ability. The 2 extra procs of
are nice but but too powerful. 20% damage increase to targets damage by
is really significant. The debuff is always 12 seconds and can't be refreshed. Still, it feeds right into our big damage windows, buffing all our other cooldowns significantly. This legendary is roughly 8% damage increase on single target, making it the best covenant legendary of them all.
Other Legendary Interactions for Necrolord Unholy Death Knights
There are currently no other interactions with Legendaries and the Necrolord Covenant.

Best Necrolord Unholy Death Knight Soulbinds
Marileth is overall the best soulbind for us. Best SIngle Target and added M+ value through
makes it the best choice everywhere!
Unholy Death Knight Conduit Guide
Necrolord Unholy Death Knight Soulbinds Explained
Necrolords have access, across all classes and specs, to the same three Soulbinds: Plague Deviser Marileth, Emeni, and Bonesmith Heirmir. They are the NPCs you complete the zone story with, and allow you to "attune" yourself to them to gain access to a tree of upgrades centered around your base toolkit (through Conduits) and Covenant Abilities (through special, game-wide traits).
This tree progressively unlocks based on completion steps (such as finishing the Campaign) and your Renown level with the Necrolord Covenant.
We've summarized the optimal traits for each Soulbind below, along with potential Conduits to slot in.
Plague deviser Marileth grants you two impactful Traits:
empowers your
by granting an additional buff based on the type of corpse consume with
. It's the CDR effect that on the shield that triggers the consumption.
empowers your
by summing an add that fights next to you for 40 seconds. He provides 6% extra damage to you on the enemies he attack.
Marileth does really well in single target due to
. It's one of the two viable picks for single target.
An example tree to follow on this Soulbind is as follows:
Emeni provides a couple of interesting nodes:
, the initial trait in the tree, functions as group utility as well as a good DPS boost. Your party members are granted 2% primary stat, and you gain up to 13% primary stat yourself. You will be able to use this ability to its full effectiveness in pretty much all mythic + and raid scenarios. You only need 4 allies close to you to do this! The strength boost is significant and helps make this soulbind a really powerful one!
allows you to gain a small amount of extra HP when casting
. It's on the path of our Potency Conduit which means we'll pick this up in pretty much every situation!
provides stacking haste when defeating mobs. Really useful in mythic + but not so much in raids. Does block us from using 2 Potency Conduits so won't be worth to pick up in raids.
gives a nice amount of movement speed when close to enemies. A nice utility option which is also quite attractive since it lies on the path of a Potency Conduit.
gives a nice damage boost after channeling your
. 72% AP times 9 is roughly worth 14
s! It does come with the requirement of taking damage or being healed. This shouldn't be much of an issue in most scenarios though.
Emeni is overall a solid soulbind. The ability to buff your allies is really quite nice but having to fully charge
every 2 minutes isn't too fun. Overall good single target and a viable choice for raiding.
Picking Bonesmith Heirmir grants access to the following notable traits:
is a very interesting ability that might remind you of the Shadow of Death talent from Wrath of the Lich King. In the best case, you won't make use of this ability since you'll keep yourself alive. However, if you do die, it's a nice damage boost. It also provides a great amount of stats as long as you make sure to enchant your gear!
grants you additional crit percentage every 90 seconds or so. The rate of proc depends on your current crit level but often syncs up quite nicely with out Cooldowns. It's generally a great spell that scales really well in both single target and AoE.
is essentially a "free" extra throughput soulbind spell. Where the other soulbinds only get one extra dps trait in 9.1, Heirmir gets two! It's a nice damage boost for our opening burst, especially since
scales so well with mastery. Whenever there are adds in a fight, this is just free mastery as well!
gives a nice boost in execute damage. There's been issues with pets not triggering this effect, making it closer to 1.5-2% damage increase in the execute phase. Execute tends to be the most important damage type which makes this trait highly valuable.
Heirmir does well in cleave due to nice stats from
as well as good initial mastery boost from
.
Necrolord Unholy Death Knight Covenant Rotation Changes
As usual, this page only highlights the specific use case of the Class and Signature Abilities. To see how they fit within the context of the entire spec, we encourage you to check the other pages in the guide related to the context you are looking for:
Unholy Death Knight Rotation Guide
This ability should generally be used on Cooldown. It can be worth it to hold on to it for a couple of seconds if an add pack is incoming. Do be mindful of how it grips targets so that you don't use it in a situation where this would be detrimental!
Use this ability pre-pull for both raids and mythic +. Also time it with big raid hits to mitigate the damage you take or whenever there's downtime in a fight.
There are some soulbind spells that affect the use of this ability:
With Plague Deviser Marileth, use
on cooldown to benefit from
. The mastery is always provided so it's useful in raids!
With Emeni,
turns into a powerful cooldown ability. Use it pre-pull and try to avoid any heals. Use on cooldown throughout the fight.

When 9.1.5 launched I switched to Necro, and intended to apply the Adaptive Armor Fragment conduit. It now says it is Blood only. I guess it was changed.
