Kyrian Balance Druid Covenant Abilities
Kyrian Balance Druid Class Ability:
With perhaps the longest tooltip I have ever seen, the Kyrian class ability for Druid is Kindred Spirits or
(I probably will use the term interchangeably).
So for those who cannot figure out what it does from the tooltip (don't worry, I can't either), you tether yourself to another person. Once you tether yourself to them, you gain access to the
ability assuming they're a DPS. If you link to a tank or healer then you get a different ability, the abilities give you damage reduction that is redirected to the tank or the healers healing gets redirected to you. This is quite bad as a DPS specialization nullifying your damage potential and turning it into redirecting damage or increasing your healing and gaining 0 damage from it, so make sure you link to a DPS. Once you press
then you guys both get a buff. 20% of your damage is given to them and 20% of their damage is given to you over the duration of the empowerment. While you are doing damage you are spending the pool of bonus damage
BUT YOU ARE ONLY ABLE TO SPEND IT AT A RATE OF 15% BONUS DAMAGE PER DAMAGE INSTANCE
. In other words, It is a 15% damage increase that is capped at 20% of your partner's damage and vice versa.
Basically, you are giving them bonus damage and they are giving you bonus damage that shows up on the meters. The bonus damage pool can also be consumed by taking damage, absorb shields, or healing. The general rule of thumb is that we assume that 15% of this pool is going to get removed via taking damage in sims.
You
CAN
link to yourself which is just a flat 15% damage gain, but it is generally seen as inferior. You would need to be doing something like 2x the damage of other classes on a 1m CD window for it to be worth it, and since moonkin isn't a high burst 1m CD class, that is not normally an issue. I personally like to link up to Fire Mages or Marksmanship Hunters as those 2 specs have a lot of burst in 1 minute intervals, but test it out and see what works best for you. DPS Death Knights are also pretty solid for raid.
If you could not follow that, I am so sorry.
is the Kyrian conduit and it grants Cooldown Reduction to
and is generally seen as pretty bad.
Kyrian Signature Ability:
&
summons a Swolekin to bring you drinks. These drinks are top notch and remove diseases, poisons, curses, and bleeds from you and gives you back 20% of your HP. It does not share a cooldown with a health potion or
meaning that you can have 3 personal heals.
It is pretty niche, but honestly if you can get effective uses out of the
style effect then Kyrian can be good.
Legendary Interactions for Kyrian Balance Druids
is the main Legendary for Kyrian Balance Druids. Once you enter
, you hit
, and you can get a pretty spicy pool built up for your partner.
Kyrian Balance Druid Soulbinds
All Kyrian players have access to the same three Soulbinds:
Pelagos, Kleia and Forgelite Prime Mikanikos
. 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 Kyrian 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.
Pelagos is the best Soulbind in the game by far. He has 1great DPS trait and has easy access to double potency conduits. His great treat is:
which is a fat amount of mastery every time you hit your Kyrian ability, so once a minute.
The
buffs up Pelagos by a pretty considerable amount over most other soulbind options as a whole. The mastery is incredibly valuable. You may also notice that I do not take the
conduit. This is intentional as this conduit is generally not that great. If somehow you could make use of the CDR with your partner it could be decent, but generally it is just seen as worse. 1m CDs are standard, 52s CDs are weird.
An example tree to follow on this soulbind is as follows:
is definitely something. I don't think it's good outside of potential prog raiding, but it is something.
is incredibly strong, but unfortunately the lack of a potency slot +
just makes Kleia not great. We also generally have a lot of crit from
.
Overall this tree is not great. You may also notice that I do not take the
conduit. This is intentional as this conduit is generally not that great. If somehow you could make use of the CDR with your partner it could be decent, but generally it is just seen as worse. 1m CDs are standard, 52s CDs are weird.
An example tree can be seen below.
Picking Mikanikos grants access to the following notable traits:
: you get to summon Swolekin's robot buddy to fight along-side you. He actually does VERY little damage and takes a long time to activate. He is really funny to see fighting with you though.
grants up to 15% haste and is great in Mythic+ environments, but not worth using over a second Potency Conduit.
You may also notice that I do not take the
conduit. This is intentional as this conduit is generally not that great. If somehow you could make use of the CDR with your partner it could be decent, but generally it is just seen as worse. 1m CDs are standard, 52s CDs are weird.

Best Kyrian Balance Druid Early Soulbinds
Early on in Nathria, assuming you picked Kyrian, you have one possible choice: Pelagos. He is so far ahead with
that you do not need anything else. He also gets his potency slots fairly early.
Kyrian Balance Druid Rotation Changes
Generally Kyrian does not change your rotation much. I try to track cooldowns on my partner to make sure I can use my
at appropriate times to get the most out of the bonus damage. I do try to help them out and dump damage into the pool when I can as it really is shared damage, but you can be a greedy player and not care.
The general rotation though is largely the same.
