Changes to Night Fae Affliction Warlock in 9.1
No major changes to
灵魂腐化
in 9.1.
Niya
尼娅的工具:锉刀
damage reduced by 8%.
Dreamweaver
繁华原野
duration increased by 20% and Haste increased to 15% (was 12%).
Fixed an issue that allowed
灵茧之力
to apply its effect twice when the player overheals themselves.
Korayn
坚守阵地
physical damage reduction reduced to 12% (was 15%) and further reduced to 6% physical damage reduction in PvP Combat.
New Night Fae Legendary -
灵魂衰败之囊
- Each target affected by your
灵魂腐化
increases your haste and critical strike chance by 5% for 8 seconds.
Night Fae Affliction Warlock Covenant Abilities
Night Fae Warlock Class Ability:
灵魂腐化
The Night Fae Affliction Warlock ability is
灵魂腐化
. While not really special by itself, along with the soulbind trees,
灵魂腐化
provides a relatively safe damage cooldown every 1 minute. There's definitely some potential at some point in the expansion for the secondary drain life portion of
灵魂腐化
to be used with
大难临头
, but that's not on the cards in the current tuning of the game.
Night Fae Warlock Signature Ability:
灵魂变形
This is the real boon for Night Fae Warlock; gaining access to a free instant button press blink and movement speed ability is everything warlock players of the past few years could dream about. For nearly the entire history of warlocks in World of Warcraft, their Achilles' heel has always been their laughable mobility. Outside a short period of time in Legion where warlocks could instantly place Gateways for their squad, warlocks have always been known for slowly waddling around the battlefield leading to hilarious moments where abilities would happen, and everyone would watch the warlock to see the outcome they already knew was going to happen - the warlock would stand still, hoping they'd be catered to, because everyone knows that can't do anything about it.
No more.
灵魂变形
changes that.
Night Fae Warlock Conduit:
噬魂者
A generic damage increase to
灵魂腐化
damage, as well as an increased target radius. In general,
灵魂腐化
damage isn't that consequential, but with the new legendary giving you increased stats based off of how many targets you hit with it, the increase to spell radius is actually pretty useful. In addition to this, with the old conduit Cold Embrace being removed in 9.1, affliction conduits are in a rough spot, so this conduit might see play in scenarios affliction is good in.
Affliction Warlock Conduit Guide
Night Fae Exclusive Legendary for Affliction Warlock -
灵魂衰败之囊
Of all the new covenant exclusive legendaries for warlock, this one has the most potential in my eyes. It's extremely useful for mass AoE - something warlock legendaries have been massively lacking in. In mythic plus, you can set up a ton of
痛楚
, cast your other DoTs, then right before you start dumping shards into
腐蚀之种
, you cast
灵魂腐化
for the 20% crit and haste buff since
灵魂腐化
hits 4 targets. Extremely powerful.
Legendary Interactions for Night Fae Affliction Warlocks
Something of note is that there is some potential for
恩德雷思之爪
to be useful with the secondary effect of
灵魂腐化
. In an ideal scenario, with exactly 4 targets, you could pump out a lot of damage in
灵魂腐化
's damage window.
Unfortunately, there are a few problems with this. For one, casting
吸取生命
too often famously makes warlocks go OOM. In a world where we no longer have Life Tap, that's not really ok. Also, running
恩德雷思之爪
means you're not running one of the other legendaries, which is definitely a major loss outside of
灵魂腐化
windows.
Affliction Warlock Legendary Guide
Best Night Fae Affliction Warlock Soulbinds
Best Night Fae Affliction Warlock Renown 40 Soulbind
The best overall soulbind once you have access to 2 potencies in each of the 3 soulbinds is by far Niya. Not only is the flat mastery buff generally strong for warlock, but you also gain a strong potential single target tool in
尼娅的工具:锉刀
. The below is accurate for only pure single target situations. For anything other than that, you'll want to take the second potency and
尼娅的工具:毒药
. In fights with 2 or more targets, rolling agony should be your second potency.
Best Night Fae Affliction Warlock Renown 80 Soulbind
At renown 55, you gain access to
联结之心
, which increases the effectiveness of the mastery/hp buffs from Niya for 5 seconds. This just doubles down on Niya's strengths, which were already ahead of the other two soulbinds' strengths.
Additionally, as you increase your Renown from 60-80, instead of unlocking new options in the soulbind tree, you'll instead unlock empowerments of the conduit slots you have available, in order from the top down. When a conduit slot is empowered, it essentially increases the power level of your conduits by 2, or 26 itemlevels. Because of this, once you start hitting those levels of Renown, you want to make sure your most important conduits are socketed in the earliest slots on the soulbind tree.
Night Fae Affliction Warlock Covenant Rotation Changes
There really aren't any rotational changes regarding
灵魂腐化
. The only major thing you'll want to do is make sure you fit it in right before
召唤黑眼
so you can extend the duration of your
灵魂腐化
DoT, enabling it to empower more
灾难狂欢
casts. Other than that, slam it on cooldown, so that it'll eventually line up with your
黑暗灵魂:哀难
and
召唤黑眼
casts later on down the line.
灵魂变形
There's no rotational changes specifically in regards to
灵魂变形
- that being said, having this available to you does open you up to more lax positioning in general. Knowing you have an instant blink available to you allows you to plant in more scenarios than you've normally been able to in the past.
Night Fae Affliction Warlock Talent Builds
Unless
大难临头
gets a massive buff somewhere down the line, you won't be changing your talent builds as a night fae at all.
Night Fae Affliction Warlock Gearing Differences
Similar to previous expansions, warlocks like most other DPS classes prefer raw iLevel upgrades in general over specific secondary stats. While Haste and Mastery are still preferred, the pure raw stat upgrade often edges out the minimal gains you'd get from more properly itemized stats. That being said, it's always worth reminding you that it's always worth simming yourself, something that's incredibly easy with resources such as raidbots nowadays.
Night Fae Affliction Warlock Soulbinds
Night Fae have access to three separate soulbinds - Niya, Dreamweaver, and Korayn. These are three separate characters who you'll interact with while completing the Night Fae campaign, as well as just moving throughout the zone. Through the soulbind trees, you'll essentially attune yourself with these three, allowing yourself to gain access to different types of character upgrades - to your base abilities with conduits, and to the Covenant abilities through options in the soulbind trees. These trees unlock each week based on certain completion steps, such as your Renown with your Covenant, and your progression in the Covenant campaign. Optimal traits for each soulbind are listed below, but keep in mind that conduits are general going to depend on the type of content you're doing. For more information on conduits, check out the conduit guide.
Shadowlands Conduits
Niya has access to several relatively strong traits;
林地复兴
- Randomly, or when you cast
灵魂腐化
, you gain stacks of Redirected Anima. Each stack gives 25 mastery. Casting
灵魂腐化
gives 8 stacks.
尼娅的工具:毒药
- A surprising amount of damage for just a random trait on the soulbind tree. Over the course of a mythic+ dungeon, this trait can do upwards of 5% of your overall damage.
尼娅的工具:锉刀
- If poison was surprising, burrs is a bit hilarious. On pure single target, Burrs outscales having a second potency conduit.
New for 9.1
联结之心
- When you gain a stack of
林地复兴
, the mastery and health bonus of your
林地复兴
stacks is increased by 50% for 5 seconds.
Niya has access to a relatively safe stat increase, and should be noted as one of the best choices for pretty much all scenarios.
An example tree to follow on this soulbind is below:
Dreamweaver is a ridiculously strong choice for low renown characters. You'll gain access to 2 of the earliest Potency conduits of any soulbind in all Covenants, in addition to;
灵茧守护者
- A Cheat Death, albeit a risky one. Over 10 seconds, you're unable to act, and if you take too much damage during that time, you die. Still better than flat out dying though.
繁华原野
- A nice haste buff when you cast
灵魂腐化
. Great for scenarios where you want to pump out
灾难狂欢
.
New for 9.1
梦境探索者
- When dealing damage to a target (or healing an ally), you do 1% increased damage or healing to that target for 4 seconds, up to 3%.
An example soulbind tree to follow is below:
Korayn is a very strong soulbind just based off of the capstone trait at the start of the tree. While there's only one worthwhile trait in his tree, it's a doozy;
荒猎团战术
- 10% damage above 75% health, and 10% increased healing below 35% health - if either of these proc, you gain 15% movement speed. In almost every single fight that's ever been difficult in World of Warcraft, the make or break point of that fight has, 99% of the time, been in one of these two windows (thanks, Azshara).
New for 9.1
狂野狩猎策略
- When your
荒猎团战术
procs, gain this effect for the next 1 minute - when dealing damage to an enemy under 35% health, increase your damage dealt to those targets for 10 seconds by 5%. (this is actually an insanely good trait)
If you do swap to Korayn because of this, here's the tree to follow.
Double Legendaries for Night Fae Affliction Warlock
Patch 9.2 adds the option of using two legendaries at the same time, with the restriction that one of them is your Covenant legendary. This change empowers Night Fae Affliction Warlock even more. You can learn more about it in our Legendary Guide.

I could be wrong, but reading
荒猎团战术
it sounds like the damage is only during the initial 25% and not the execute? The guide seems to indicate that it is also increased execute damage.

Agree with Yusuke. It reads that you deal damage above 75%, and heal those below 35%, not both.

The above are correct. It's 10% damage for targets over 75% only and healing below 35%. Got giddy when I read it initially though :)
