Changes To Night Fae Balance Druids in 9.2
Nothing.
Night Fae Balance Druid Covenant Abilities
Night Fae Balance Druid Class Ability:
The Night Fae Class Ability for Druids is
. It is honestly one of the most interesting abilities they have added for options for Druids to take in a long time, but currently has some weird interactions. It will cast abilities based on form meaning that you can do primarily healing abilities in human form if you would like.
With this being said it will cast on average 10-11 Balance spells and 5-6 "other" (cat or resto) spells. There is a chance that it will cast a considerable number of healing spells if the rest of your group is low on HP whenever Convoke is pressed though.
Whenever you line up
with
you have some insane Single Target burst, but unfortunately there is not a lot of AOE damage appeal to Night Fae as you only get x1
cast and
cannot stack. The ability will also prioritize applying
to many targets if they are not dotted.
is the Night Fae specific conduit and it is incredibly incredibly powerful and should be taken for all situations.
Night Fae Conduit for
is the Night Fae specific conduit and it is incredibly incredibly powerful and should be taken for all situations.
Balance Druid Conduit Guide
Night Fae Signature Ability:
has a built in teleport mechanic you can use every few seconds, however with tools such as
,
, or
there is not a ton of need for Soul Shape as you cannot cast while in the fox form.
Night Fae Exclusive Legendary for Balance Druids
is the Night Fae specific legendary for druids. You have an increased chance to proc an exception ability with Convoke the Spirit's cooldown and duration being reduced by 50%. This means you get 8 abilities instead of 16. Unfortunately for this legendary, this is not a favorable 8 abilities thus this legendary is bad. You get far too many off-spec abilities.
Other Legendary Interactions for Night Fae Balance Druids
With the most recent nerf to
, this makes
the go-to choice for Night Fae Balance Druid. It complicates cooldown usage a bit, but you'll pick it up with time. Once you have access to your 2-set + double legendary, you will line up Pulsar with every convoke. It is quite a potent combo.

is far too powerful to really consider playing much else. The conduits are in a priority order to get empowered as once you progress further past renown 60 you start to empower your conduits more and more. They are in order in which you want them set.

Night Fae Balance Druid Rotation Changes
Generally Night Fae does not change your rotation much. Make sure you get the most uses of
on the target you are fighting while also getting the most uses of
. If possible you should pair them up, but if you are going to get one additional use of one or the other just ship it.
The general rotation though is largely the same.

Night Fae Balance Druid Talent Builds
Your talent build does not change
at all
while picking this Covenant. The general strength of
is on Single Target, but there are no talent options that bolster up Night Fae in any meaningful way.

Night Fae Balance Druid Gearing Differences
There are absolutely no gearing differences whenever you choose the Night Fae Covenant. Maybe haste is slightly worse because of the slightly diminished value of Astral Power, but in reality there are no notable distinctions in gearing.
Night Fae Balance Druid Soulbinds Explained
All Night Fae players have access to the same three Soulbinds:
Niya, Dreamweaver and Korayn
. 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 Night Fae Covenant.
We've summarized the optimal traits for each Soulbind below, along with potential Conduits to use. Bear in mind that Endurance and Finesse conduit choice will largely depend on which encounter you're progressing on, as their value changes dramatically based on the requirements they enforce.
Niya is one of 2 soulbind options that has multiple damage options while having multiple potency conduit options. Those options are:
which is a fat amount of mastery. Mastery being moonkins' best stat makes this trait incredibly appealing to us.
is the other trait. This is gated behind an endurance, not a potency slot, but still is more damage than the potency slot + poison.
These benefits buff up Niya by a pretty considerable amount over most other soulbind options as a whole. Niya is the strongest Soulbind for Shadowlands due to the early potency conduit &
's, power stat wise.
An example tree to follow on this soulbind is as follows:
Dreamweaver provides a couple of interesting nodes:
is a cheat death effect, but ultimately you lose a lot of damage to take this trait as a whole and it delays your power spike pretty late.
is incredibly strong, but was difficult to use on beta.
was added in 9.1 as an additional damage node and the damage gained by it is pretty substantial.
An example tree can be seen below.
Picking Korayn grants access to the following notable traits:
Wild Hunt Tactics is a pretty decent option as a whole as the damage gained on mobs can be situationally pretty solid since you do good spread cleave to many targets with
.
this is a pretty lackluster defensive option for a soulbind tree, but ultimately it is not worth taking the damage option on this row over the loss of a potency slot. Just circling back this is why Niya generally out-performs anything else for Night Fae.
when able to be abused is one of the best traits in the game, but at default value this is pretty bad.
is a pretty decent additional trait for Night Fae, ultimately this soulbind and this choice will come down to whether you're able to abuse
.
Double Legendaries for Night Fae Balance Druid
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 Balance Druid even more. You can learn more about it in our Legendary Guide.

In the part "Night Fae Balance Druid Soulbinds" you write Venthyr instead of Night fae in the second paragraph.^^ Not meant to be rude, its a very nice and handy guide :)

Well-Honed Instincts is a guardian conduit, and cannot be slotted as balance. Will the effect work in balance spec if I slot it in while in guardian spec?

Why does it sound like Tettles didn't edit this at all? His grammar is terrible and hard to understand.

Getting sent from the front page claiming all legendary hotfixes are included, clicking on the first spec I play, guide does not include hotfix: priceless.
