About the Author
This guide is written by Khazak, a Death Knight player since 5.4. Besides writing guides, I am a moderator in
Acherus, the Death Knight class Discord
and maintainer on SimC, contributing code and APL for Death Knights. I raid in Agency on Zul'jin US and sometimes stream raids on
Twitch
. I am always happy to take questions or comments about the guide through Discord.
Night Fae Frost Death Knight Covenant Abilities
Night Fae Death Knight Class Ability:
The Night Fae Class Ability for all Death Knight specializations is
. This replaces
for us, effectively just adding the
effect to this ability. When in your
, your
s will debuff any enemies hit, causing them to deal 2% less damage to you and increasing your Strength by 2%. The buff lasts for 12 seconds, and it can stack up to 4 times. You will always gain one stack for every
that hits a target, for both Dual-Wield and 2H builds.
This ability also makes your
cleave
to one additional target.
Both the Strength gain and
makes this ability useful. Once we pick up a second legendary, we'll have high uptime on a 20% strength buff from this covenant ability!
Night Fae Death Knight Signature Ability:
is a mobility ability. Activating it will teleport you forward 15 yards and provide a 50% movement speed increase for 12 seconds. You can reactivate it multiple times during its duration to teleport again (cooldown of teleport is 3 seconds). Using any ability will bring you out of
.
This is such a great ability for us slow Death Knights. Both a teleport and a 50% movement speed boost is such nice utility. When covering large ground or dodging mechanics, this ability will just be so useful.
Night Fae Conduit for
- A simple damage increase to
. Quite powerful in AoE but not considered a great conduit for Frost.
Frost Death Knight Conduit Guide
Night Fae Exclusive Legendary for Frost Death Knight
NEW Night Fae Legendary
: The strength gained from
is increased by 3% and lasts 2 seconds longer. While standing in your
your Runic Power generation is increased by 20%.
Increasing the possible strength gain from 8 to 20% is a significant increase. Furthermore, the extra debuff duration is really nice. Generally, a great legendary in Mythic+ since it buffs our damage windows so heavily!
Other Legendary Interactions for Night Fae Frost Death Knights
synergises well with
in AoE scenarios since it helps buff the cleave damage.
also interacts since it adds an additional benefit to
. The synergy isn't large though.
Frost Death Knight Legendary Guide
Best Night Fae Frost Death Knight Max Renown 80 Soulbind
The best soulbind is generally Dreamweaver. You get good spells while picking up your triple potency!
Frost Death Knight Conduit Guide
Dreamweaver is the recommended choice for Raids. However, for Mythic+ and some raid encounters I recommend running Korayn with
. You can leverage it on adds to gain a ton of uptime for certain raid fights like Rygelon. For Mythic+, it works really well to get some quick
early, stacking up your
early in the pull!
Night Fae Frost Death Knight Soulbinds
There are four interesting Soulbind Traits for the Niya Soulbind:
- The first Soulbind Trait we receive. This has obvious synergy with
since it allows us to gain stacks of Redirected Anima more often (synergy is very weak though). It's important to note that the stacks gained are nerfed by a factor of 4 for Frost! This means that we only gain 2 stacks whenever we use
. It's still a good spell and a solid DPS increase!
- A solid DPS boost that doesn't quite make up for losing a potency conduit.
- A potential DPS boost if there are targets that can be interrupted. Has the benefit of allow 3 Potency Conduits on its path.
is fully connected to the first soulbind spell
. It essentially increases mastery gained for a short duration given that at least one out of 5 close allies isn't Night Fae. This will most often be the case, even if Night Fae is a popular covenant overall. It's a nice boost as a final soulbind.
Niya is an okay soulbind that doesn't quite bring enough throughput to be considered best!
Dreamweaver provides three very interesting traits:
- A budget Cheat Death that can be extremely valuable. It does require your pod to not take too much damage after you die, making dying in fire a bad idea. However, for when you do get rejuvenated, this spell has so much value. For progression raiding, it just brings so much to the table. Also good in mythic + but not nearly as much as in raids.
- Similar to
, this spell is also nerfed for us, again with a factor of 4 so the haste buff only lasts 2.5 seconds. Still a really nice ability that is an okay DPS gain.
- A very simple 3% raw damage boost. Solid across the board and generally a really good spel.
Dreamweaver has great utility with the
cheat death. It also brings excellent damage throughput due to nice synergy with
. Overall the best soulbind in most situations. Only loses out to Korayn in Mythic+ and Cleave for
builds!
Korayn has three traits that are the most impactful to us:
- A solid DPS boost to your overall damage, but not great when it comes to useful damage output. We generally want high damage towards the end of an encounter, not the start. The first 25% of a boss fight is generally the easy bit. It does give a lot of value in Mythic+
- This is an interesting spell that really works well in mythic +. In a raiding environment, you won't have a lot of uptime on this spell. In mythic +, this will be active in every pack! It's especially strong with our 4-set since it allows us to quickly get some
at the start of a Mythic+ pack. This will provide early stacks of
which increases your DPS significantly.
- An interesting spell that has some applications. First of all, it requires you to have triggered
within the previous minute. After this point, you need to either hit a target below 35% health or heal an ally who is above 75% health. This comes naturally with targets that die quickly, like adds. Outside of such scenarios, it's more difficult to trigger it.
Korayn is a great soulbind for Mythic+, especially when running
. The crit damage is very valuable at the start of the pull due to generating lots of
early. With the 4-set, this provides a ton of value overall due to the
stacks it applies. I don't think this is as good for
builds since you'll generate the
procs anyway!
Night Fae Frost 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:
Frost Death Knight Rotation Guide
Your rotation changes quite significantly since you want to make use of
! Use this on Cooldown on single target and try to not be completely starved before-hand. Make sure to line it up with
every second use. When running
, we would use
after
in our breath window.
For AoE, this usage becomes much more important. Popping down
and spamming
will be great damage. If specced into
, we want to utilize the regular weaving whenever we combine
with
. This is done in order to maximize the number of
affected
s that we get out. This means popping down
in conjunction with
,
or
. This would generate the first proc of
. We then follow up with
and then
. Regular weaving then continues from here.
Use this whenever you're in need of a teleport or speed boost. Do make sure to save it for phases of heavy movement, especially when you're running without hitting the boss. It's also great for emergency use to get out of abilities, or teleport across patches of fire.
Night Fae Frost Death Knight Talent Builds
Night Fae works really well with
builds in AoE due to the
cleave.
Frost Death Knight Talents
Night Fae Frost Death Knight Gearing Differences
I think Night Fae might generally favor haste slightly. However, I don't think it'll be significant enough to warrant any specific gearing decisions.
Double Legendaries for Night Fae Frost Death Knight
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 Frost Death Knight even more. You can learn more about it in our Legendary Guide.

So when playing night fae with deaths due, should we keep frostscythe for big AoE or switch it out since we have obliterate cleaves?

In the soulbind breakdown section for each of the three there seems to be a little confusion. You mention Niya isn't the best, Dreamweaver generally isn't the best, and Korayn is ok for m+ but isn't strong enough to be picked. Above this though you mention Dreamweaver is the best. Maybe it's worth making a small correction :)

Dear Class Guide Writers,
I would recommend that when you update the class guides, you actually finish updating the class guides. Just one example is that under the explainer for each of the three night fae soulbind options, we have:
Niya: "Niya is an okay soulbind that doesn't quite bring enough throughput to be considered best!"
Dreamweaver: "Generally not the best Night Fae soulbind."
Korayn: "Doesn't quite bring enough damage to be picked though!"
To be fair to the writer, there is enough elsewhere to sort through to figure it out, but this is still unhelpful contradictory information and really needed to be edited out in some fashion with updates.
That being said, the work done on these guides is generally very good, so good on you for that.
