Changes to Necrolord Guardian Druid in 9.2
Players are now able to equip 2 legendaries, one must be the covenant specific legendary.
No other changes to Necrolord Guardian Druid for 9.2.
Changes to Necrolord Guardian Druid in 9.1.5
- Increased jump range to 50 yards up from 25 yards and will now jump to a friendly target if it expires on a friendly target and there are no valid hostile targets within 50 yards.
Changes to Necrolord Guardian Druid in 9.1
NEW Necrolord Legendary
:
has a 60% chance to split into two Swarms each time it jumps.
NEW
now always grants 120 mastery when
is cast, making it much better on bosses without adds dying.
Necrolord Guardian Druid Covenant Abilities
Necrolord Druid Class Ability:
The Necrolord Class Ability for Druids of all specializations is
: a 25 second cooldown that Commands a swarm that heals or deals Shadow damage over 12 seconds to a target, and increases the effectiveness of your periodic effects on them by 25%.
This powerful covenant ability does a significant amount of damage on it's own but the real bonus is the increase in periodic effects by 25%. This gets increased by the Necrolord covenant specific conduit,
, which adds an extra 6% at rank 1, scaling up to 14.4% at rank 15.
Guardian Druid Conduit Guide
Considering most of our bear damage breakdown is heavily in DoT form via
and
, if we also add in guardian's ability to catweave with
or owlweave with
, plus the increased damage for both of these with
, we start to see some really powerful synergies form.
All of these powerful DoT's get amplified by Necrolord's
. We can also use it defensively and cast it on ourselves to enhance the healing of
and the HoT it provides significantly.
So overall quite a strong damage and healing increase for us, however the main drawback of
is that it is primarily single target, even though it does bounce, when you start having multiple targets it gets out-scaled by other Covenants damage-wise rather quickly.
Necrolord Signature Ability:
is a good absorb but does generally get absorbed extremely quickly in any dangerous combat. The main value thanks to the buffs in 9.0.5 is the 20% damage reduction you gain while channeling this ability which makes it an excellent defensive.
Necrolord Exclusive Legendary for Guardian Druids
- The new Necrolord specific legendary for druids makes your
have a 60% chance to split into 2 swarms each time it jumps. This definitely increases the damage and healing and overall swarm amounts out, however it hardly competes with our other powerful legendaries and needs an extra effect to be competitive.
Other Legendary Interactions for Necrolord Guardian Druids
is definitely one of the best synergies with Necrolord.
The comination of catweaving with
+
+
+
on pure single targets is the highest DPS output we can possibly get currently, and it is a force to be reckoned with. We will definitely be rocking some meters with this.
Catweaving shifts even more of your damage into a DoT focused breakdown maintaining both
and
in addition to our normal
and
, all of which get buffed by
by a huge amount.
also works in the same way, however it is a bit less damage overall but can be used on multiple targets where as
loses all value when fighting more than 1 target.

Best Necrolord Guardian Druid Soulbinds
Best Necrolord Guardian Druid Max Renown 80 Soulbind
Plague Deviser Marileth hosts one of the strongest Soulbind trees for Necrolord and is a great option 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 is Plague Deviser Marileth at 80 renown for the majority of content.
grants a good amount of useful buffs depending on what mobs are around,
helps to smooth out damage intake and
provides a fantastic DPS increase overall.
Emeni is also a fantastic option on heavier AoE encounters.
Necrolord 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 check the other pages in the guide related to the context you are looking for:
Guardian Druid Rotation Guide
Adaptive Swarm should generally be used off cooldown, and if possible refresh right before it is about to bounce, as it will just increase the amount of bounces and refresh and pandemic the duration for maximum uptime.
Fleshcraft should ideally be cast as a defensive cooldown on hard hitting mechanics or big pulls.
Necrolord Guardian Druid Talent Builds
Your talent build should not really change too much. If the situation allows for it take
and use the catweaving rotation to min-max damage a bit more on single target encounters.
Alternatively on heavy AoE or multi-dot encounters take
and use the owlweaving rotation to increase your multi-dot and spread cleave damage a bit more.
These 2 situations apply regardless, being a Necrolord just boosts the damage bonuses they provide by even more.
Guardian Druid Talents
Necrolord Guardian Druid Gearing Differences
Your gearing preference and stat preference remains the same with Necrolord. Prioritizing gear with the highest item level and then Versatility > Haste > Mastery > Crit defensively. For offense, you will have to sim yourself for optimal stat priority.
Necrolord Guardian Druid Soulbinds Explained
Necrolords have access to three Soulbinds:
Plague Deviser Marileth
,
Emeni
and
Bonesmith Heirmir
. These are the NPCs you complete the zone story with, and 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 Necrolord covenant.
Below are some optimal pathing and traits for each Soulbind, along with potential changes further down the line in Renown levels.
Plague Deviser Marileth grants you five impactful traits:
empowers your
by granting an additional buff based on the type of corpse you walk by. This can provide some pretty handy buffs like 5% increased stamina or 5% reduced magic damage taken.
When reduced below 50% health you gain a 15% absorb shield, 30 second internal cooldown.
The CC immunity has limited uses as it is quite a short duration and the bonus healing gained is quite small.
Helps smoothing damage intake mildly.
A friendly ooze that does a bit of damage, buffs your damage and grants some absorbs to friendlies.
An example tree to follow on this soulbind is as follows:
Emeni provides a couple of decent nodes:
A good sized primary stat buff for you and your party/raid members on a very short cooldown.
is a 5% maximum health increase with a 25% uptime if you are casting Fleshcraft off cooldown.
Gain 3% Haste for 10 seconds after defeating an enemy, up to 15% haste. This has limited use in raids however leads off an endurance node which can be incredibly powerful defensively, and has massive value in m+ with large uptime on 15% haste.
Great speed boost for you and your group.
Adds a large damage aspect to channeling
and makes it feel much better to use more often.
Picking Bonesmith Heirmir grants access to a few interesting traits:
Can deal a decent amount of damage while tanking usually around 2-4%.
After landing 10 critical strikes, you gain 18% increased chance to critical strike for 10 seconds, 60 second internal cooldown.
Can actually be a very lage DPS increase on fights with adds flooding in actively as it is a huge amount of mastery and be gamed a bit to have a larger uptime.
Bit of a weird one, just 3% damage to targets below 35% with the potential to give to others via the spread of
.
This is quite an odd tree for us. We have the potential to run 4 endurance 1 finesse 1 potency, which is one of the only trees that can happily run 4 endurance at very little loss.
Double Legendaries for Necrolord 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 Necrolord Guardian Druid even more. You can learn more about it in our Legendary Guide.
