Changes to Night Fae Guardian Druids in 9.2
Players can now equip 2 legendaries, a covenant specific one and a generic one.
No other changes to Night Fae Guardian in 9.2.
Night Fae Guardian Druid Covenant Abilities
Night Fae Druid Class Ability:
The Night Fae Class Ability for Druids of all specializations is
: Channel a rapid flurry of 16 Druid spells and abilities over 4 seconds.
An average convoke cast in bear form will generally cast these spells: 3-5
, 3-5
, 2-3
, 2-3
, 1-2
, 1-2
, 1-2
. 1-2
and about 1 in every 4 convoke casts you will get a singular
.
This is best used not on the pull, as it will greatly increase your chance to get a good roll of Convoke spells if you already have Moonfire and Thrash active on the target.
This can be extremely powerful or it can be underwhelming and the randomness of which 16 spells will it cast is half the fun of the ability.
Sometimes, in an AoE situations, it may cast 5 Ironfurs and 3 heals, or sometimes you may get 5 thrashes and a few swipes. It's all in the heart of the cards.
The random damage variance of this is greatly reduced when doing what is called an 'owlvoke', which is shifting into
before casting
.
To maximize damage, it is best to cast
in
after using
with
, this blasts out a bunch of
s,
s,
s and a 15-20% chance of casting
which hits very hard and cleaves everything around it.
You will always want to be in melee range if you are casting convoke to get the most out of it.
It does however have multiple uses, and changes what spells are cast based on your form, so you can shift out of bear and provide quite powerful off-healing if the situation calls for it.
Night Fae Druid Class Conduit:
is the Night Fae specific conduit, and it only makes the ability even stronger by increasing all damage we deal while casting
by 15% at rank 1.
Guardian Druid Conduit Guide
Night Fae Signature Ability:
is a short blink with a shapeshift aspect attached to it, and a small sprint with 50% increased movement speed.
More mobility is always useful and can be life saving, so this is fantastic.
Night Fae Exclusive Legendary for Guardian Druids
:
has 50% reduced cooldown and duration, and will now cast an exceptional spell more often.
This lowers the amount of spells cast by
from 16 down to 12, but gives increased chance to get an exceptional spell (
,
,
and
). Definitely has some value on certain fights where having a 1 minute cooldown would be more optimal, also gives better up-time on Niya's
which is quite a lot of mastery.
Generally other legendaries will be superior to this unless there is a specific encounter that requires a shorter cooldown.
Other Legendary Interactions for Night Fae Guardian Druids
Night Fae does not have any specific PvE Legendary interactions and will just use the generic legendary combinations.
For PvP
is an amazing choice currently for Night Fae, it causes us to become to immune to all CC while berserk is active, allowing us to safely go moonkin form and get huge convokes off.
Guardian Druid Legendary Guide
Best Night Fae Guardian Druid Soulbinds
Best Night Fae Guardian Druid Max Renown 80 Soulbind
Niya remains the strongest overall tree all at 80 renown.
The below Soulbind Calculator is valid starting at Renown 60. Conduits are socketed in order of highest priority from top to bottom in order to facilitate the greatest benefit when empowering conduit rows from renown. Please see our Guardian Druid Conduit Guide for more information on Conduits including Empowered Conduits.
Guardian Druid Conduit Guide
Guardian Druid's best Soulbind remains Niya at 80 renown for the majority of content,
makes the Niya tree even better at doing what is was already doing the best, a fat stack of mastery every 2 minutes. Korayn is still a decent choice for AoE encounters and mythic+ but the capstone trait of Korayn is not quite as powerful as the Niya one so it loses some value comparatively.
Night Fae Guardian Druid Covenant Rotation Changes
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 view other pages in the guide related to the context you are looking for:
Guardian Druid Rotation Guide
Optimally, for DPS, you will want to shift into
before casting Convoke to get the most damage on AoE encounters.
For single target encounters, primarily in raids, you can take
and use Convoke in
after you dump all your energy and spend your combo points.
If you wish to remain in bear form for more safety, just make sure to apply Moonfire and Thrash before casting Convoke.
You can also shift out of bear before casting Convoke to provide very good off-healing.
Other than that your rotation will remain the same as usual.
This is a pure mobility tool and won't affect your rotation at all, just use it when you want to get somewhere slightly faster and have low rage.
Night Fae Guardian Druid Talent Builds
Night Fae does not change your talent build in any way, continue to use what is normal.
Guardian Druid Talents
Night Fae Guardian Druid Gearing Differences
Your gearing preference and stat preference remains the same with Night Fae, prioritizing gear with the highest item level and then Versatility > Haste > Mastery > Crit defensively. Offensively you will have to sim yourself for optimal stat priority.
Night Fae Guardian Druid Soulbinds Explained
Night Fae's have access to three Soulbinds:
Niya
,
Dreamweaver
and
Korayn
. These are the NPCs you complete the zone story with, and they allow you to bind yourself to them to gain access to a tree of upgrades centered around your toolkit, via Conduits and Covenant abilities.
This tree progressively unlocks based on completion steps (such as finishing the campaign) and your renown level with the Night Fae covenant.
Below are some optimal pathing and traits for each Soulbind, along with potential changes further down the line in Renown levels.
Niya grants you five impactful traits:
- Healing or dealing damage has a chance to grant you a stack of Redirected Anima. Redirected Anima increases your maximum health by 1% and your Mastery by 25 for 30 seconds, and stacks overlap. Activating your Night Fae class ability grants you 16 stacks of Redirected Anima.
- Your damaing attacks and spells have a chance to toss Niya's Spiked Burrs under your target. The burrs latch onto the first enemy to cross them, reducing movement speed by 20% and inflicting nature damage over 6 seconds.
- Free movement speed is great, 50% uptime on 20% movement speed.
- Mini cheat death, very solid overall but losing an endurance conduit generally outweighs the defensive bonus.
- 50% more mastery and health increase from
stacks in addition to providing some small healing for your group/raid.
- This is a nice passive health increase as the mastery also increases our health, and casting Convoke gives us a good number of stacks and a significant health increase.
- This is the highest damage node on the tree, rounding up Niya's soulbind tree and making her one of the best Night Fae choices all round for a DPS focused build.
An example tree to follow on this soulbind is as follows:
The bulk of this consists of:
Three endurance conduit slots
One finesse conduit slot
A very large mastery and health increase every 2 minutes.
Two potency conduit slots.
A large bonus damage proc that can have quite a high variance anywhere from 3-10% of our overall damage breakdown.
Dreamweaver provides some excellent nodes:
- When you take damage that would kill you, instead rejuvenate within a wildseed, regaining 30% of HP over 10 seconds.
The wildseed can die if it takes significant damage after forming, and has a 10 minute cooldown. This drops threat which can be a bit of an issue in mythic+ however not extremely relevant in a raid environment and can often save your raid a battle res.
This can be extremely valuable as a cheat death type mechanic, and can often save your raid from wiping.
- Free versatility for you and your friends.
- Activating your Night Fae class ability puts flowers at your feet for 10 seconds. Standing in them increases your Haste by 12%.
- 30% of your max health as an absorb once every minute, very solid defensively.
- Small damage and healing increase, relatively negligible.
Dreamweaver is generally the worst of the 3 for us as Guardian Druids as both Niya and Korayn outshine it.
Picking Korayn grants access to some powerful traits:
- Your damage to targets above 75% health and healing to targets below 35% health is increased by 10%.
This is just a nice damage and healing increase.
- Damaging an enemy before they damage you increases your chance to critical strike by 25% for 5 seconds.
- Some small damage reduction, good value in mythic+ in combination with
.
- Small damage/healing increase.
This is an exceptionally powerful tree when it comes to mythic+ and even certain raid encounters where there is a flowing stream of new adds to continually refresh the
buff, 25% crit is a huge dps and initial threat increase especially when combined with a massive heart of the wild owl form convoke for dps at the start of a fight.
There are options here to go for a more defensive build on high physical stand still fights, but generally if you are seeking more of a defensive tree Niya will be stronger overall.
Double Legendaries for Night Fae Guardian 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 Guardian Druid even more. You can learn more about it in our Legendary Guide.
