Necrolord Druid Covenant Abilities
Necrolord Druid Class Ability:
激变蜂群
The Necrolord Class Ability for Druids of all specializations is
激变蜂群
, a 25 second cooldown HoT/DoT that also increases any HoT healing you do to allies or DoT damage you do to enemies by 25%. The healing of the HoT alone is roughly equivalent to a little more than a
回春术
and the damage of the DoT alone is roughly equivalent to a
月火术
.
There are a lot of subtleties regarding the implementation of
激变蜂群
and caveats to note:
When it expires on an ally it will attempt to jump to an enemy within range that does not already have
激变蜂群
. As of Patch 9.1.5, if no enemy exists that matches this criteria,
激变蜂群
will jump to an ally in range instead.
激变蜂群
will not jump to an enemy not currently in combat.
The HoT/DoT increase of
激变蜂群
does apply to itself.
激变蜂群
does apply a stack of
精通:相生
causing higher mastery healing on that ally.
While an extra
回春术
on a single target with only ~50% uptime doesn't seem like a lot of extra throughput, the hidden power of this ability comes from the 25% increased HoT healing, the extra
精通:相生
stack, and being able to apply this pseudo-
回春术
without picking up the
萌芽
. That being said this extra throughput (both damage and healing) is almost entirely single target and does vary a lot depending how much additional HoT healing you're applying to allies with your
激变蜂群
as well as your current levels of mastery stat.
In scenarios where you actually value the single-target healing throughput and it's not completely overhealing,
激变蜂群
will provide tremendous throughput; however those scenarios are rare typically relegated to Arena or Mythic+. For raid, the single target healing responsibility even on tanks is split across all healers and passive effects like
圣光道标
tend to negate a lot of
激变蜂群
's value. Even in Mythic+ where you value the single target healing, you also value damage and
激变蜂群
is only single target damage as well. It's definitely our strongest single-target healing covenant ability, but that's really it.
Necrolord Conduit for
激变蜂群
The
进化蜂群
conduit for
激变蜂群
provides an increase to the flat % HoT/DoT increase. How good this conduit is will largely depend on how much additional HoT healing you're providing to the target of your
激变蜂群
, but is generally considered a strong conduit when you can make use of that single target healing.
Restoration Druid Conduit Guide
Necrolord Druid Signature Ability:
血肉铸造
血肉铸造
- The extra self survivability of the damage reduction and absorbe will be nice. In the case of the absorb, it will contribute minimally to overall throughput. You can utilize the Emeni's soulbind trait
艾米妮的可行动躯体
to mitigate some of the downsides of the channel or even get a brief CC-immunity with Plague Deviser's
终极形态
soulbind trait, but the 3s channel will be a persistent nuisance. As a Restoration Druid, we have exceptional access to defensive abilities with on-demand
熊形态
, the low cooldown
树皮术
which can be further reduced by the
韧如树皮
conduit, or even
铁木树皮
if absolutely necessary. So how much value we'll get out of another defensive in PvE is debatable. Expect some niche cases where this excels, but is far from a must-have.
Necrolord Exclusive Legendary for Restoration Druids
NEW Necrolord Legendary
不羁蜂群
:
激变蜂群
has a 60% chance to split into two Swarms each time it jumps.
The new Necrolord exclusive legendary for Restoration Druids can be quite valuable in terms of getting multiple
激变蜂群
out for increased AoE healing. With the 9.1.5 change to
激变蜂群
allowing it to jump back-to-back to allies when there's either an enemy in range or that enemy already has a
激变蜂群
, a lot of the downsides of this legendary have been mitigated. Consider this a strong option when you're looking for strong throughput. Go forth and multiply!
Other Legendary Interactions for Necrolord Restoration Druids
The Legendary
翡翠灌注
can extend
激变蜂群
's HoT duration by 10s increasing the uptime and overall efficiency but does require you to commit your Legendary choice to this interaction. In the single-target healing scenarios, such Mythic+, Arena, or very specific Raid encounters, this is likely to be a favorite Legendary.
Restoration Druid Legendary Guide
Best Necrolord Restoration Druid Soulbinds
Best Necrolord Restoration Druid Max Renown 80 Soulbind
Both Plague Deviser Marileth and Emeni remain the strongest soulbinds. Typically, you'll want to focus on Plague Deviser Marileth when your primary focus is healing and switch to Emeni for a more damage or utility focused build.
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 Restoration Druid Conduit Guide for more information on Conduits including Empowered Conduits.

Necrolord Restoration Druid 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:
Restoration Druid Rotation Guide
激变蜂群
激变蜂群
should ideally be used on cooldown on priority targets, specifically tanks or other allies that are going to be taking significant damage. The priority targets should also be fully HoTed up either prior to
激变蜂群
's application or shortly after to ensure you're maximizing the value of the 25% HoT increase if that healing will be mostly effective.
If damage is your priority, be sure to apply as many DoTs to the enemy target for the duration of
激变蜂群
including
月火术
and
阳炎术
.
血肉铸造
血肉铸造
should be channeled in the following circumstances:
Prior to engaging an encounter to utilize the pre-pull downtime and activate the 120 mastery buff.
Prior to major incoming damage of a particularly nasty mechanic for survivability.
During periods of healing downtime to ensure no one dies during the 3s channel and reduce the overall healing requirement.
To avoid crowd control when utilizing
终极形态
.
Necrolord Restoration Druid Talent Builds
Because
激变蜂群
is primarily a single target healing increase due to the 25% HoT healing increase, you'll typically want to take talents that maximize the number of HoTs you can apply to a single target. I definitely recommend picking up
塞纳里奥结界
for Necrolord Restoration Druids in almost all situations.
You can lean further into single target healing and maximizing HoTs with
栽培
,
春暖花开
, and even
萌芽
but doing so may put other aspects of your healing at risk. I still recommend adhering to the Mythic+ and Raid builds set out in the Talent section of this guide even as a Necrolord Restoration Druid.
Restoration Druid Talent Guide
Necrolord Restoration Druid Gearing Differences
Prioritizing higher item level pieces will still be the proper way to gear as a Necrolord Restoration Druid. However, because
激变蜂群
's benefits are mostly single target and rely on HoT stacking, you'll likely lean a bit heavier on mastery to maximize the benefits of
激变蜂群
when comparing pieces of gear of similar item level. Just don't neglect other secondary stats at the expense of
精通:相生
, but a little extra will be beneficial.
Necrolord Restoration Druid Soulbinds Explained
Necrolords have access, across all classes and specs, to the same three Soulbinds:
Plague Deviser Marileth
,
Emeni
and
Bonesmith Heirmir
. 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 Necrolord covenant.
We've summarized the optimal traits for each Soulbind below, along with potential conduits to slot in. Do bear in mind that finesse conduit choice is largely personal preference. For more information on Conduits see our Restoration Druid Conduit Guide.
Plague Deviser Marileth grants you a few impactful traits:
不稳定的溶液
grants the 120 Mastery
挥发性溶剂:人型生物
buff and empowers the passive effect of
血肉铸造
to grant additional buffs based on the type of corpses you consume.
List of All Volatile Solvent Buffs
挥发性溶剂:野兽
- 2% Primary Stat Increase
挥发性溶剂:元素
- 3% Magic Damage Done Increase
挥发性溶剂:畸变怪
- 78 Armor Increase
挥发性溶剂:机械
- 5% Magic Damage Taken Reduction
挥发性溶剂:亡灵
- Killing an enemy heals you for 5% of maximum health
挥发性溶剂:人型生物
- 120 Mastery Rating Increase
挥发性溶剂:恶魔
- 3% Stamina Increase
挥发性溶剂:龙类
- 3% Critical Strike Increase
挥发性溶剂:巨人
- 3% Physical Damage Increase and 10% Size Increase
乌兹的和谐覆层
allows you to better survive any follow up damage that would occur after a burst that reduces you below 50% health with a 15% max health absorb shield. If burst damage is continually dipping you below 50% health this will be fantastic but do note the 30s ICD.
终极形态
, causes you to regenerate 6% max HP and be crowd control immune over the duration of the
血肉铸造
channel. If you manage to complete the full
血肉铸造
channel, then the crowd control immunity persists for 3 additional seconds and you regenerate another 6% max HP over those 3 seconds.
起伏机动
provides a small stagger-like survivability buff. Nothing huge, but helpful nonetheless.
凯文的小软泥怪
, the new capstone trait in 9.1, provides some additional healing in the form of some minor absorbs via Kevin everytime you cast
激变蜂群
.
These benefits strongly incentivize the use of
血肉铸造
early to activate the 120 mastery buff and allow the passive to gather other additional buffs from various defeated enemy types. While crowd control immunity can be powerful, very few PvE encounters actively crowd control players so
终极形态
will likely be niche at best.
I generally recommend the following soulbind tree and conduit placement for Plague Deviser Marileth:
Emeni provides a couple of interesting nodes:
身先士卒
, the initial trait in the tree, is what makes Emeni a strong option. A flat 5-13% intellect buff but because the buff duration scales with cooldown of our class ability it's not as great at first glance. With
激变蜂群
at a 25s cooldown the duration is roughly 4s so somewhere short of 20% uptime overall. Not bad and not only are you getting this buff but you're also helping allies at the same time. Win-win situation. Strong ability that only requires a couple of allies to maximize the benefits.
艾米妮的优美之皮
grants you a flat 5% extra maximum HP when casting
血肉铸造
. Not huge, but the early potency conduit that accompanies it makes this survivability increase worth it.
艾米妮的可行动躯体
allows channeling of
血肉铸造
to be done while moving. This negates one of the major downsides of
血肉铸造
, but unfortunately is accompanied by a endurance conduit slot.
啮咬咀嚼者
can be a nice haste buff but requires consistent enemy deaths to maintain any sort of meaningful uptime. Healing any ally that damages these enemies does count as you defeating an enemy, so no damage from you is required. Unfortunately the potency conduit attached to
软骨脚趾
tends to more favorable in most situations.
弹性缝合
provides a nice magic damage shield that will be easy to gain on cooldown.
The new capstone trait in 9.1 for Emeni,
脓疮迸裂
, turns
血肉铸造
into a damaging ability but the damage is somewhat lackluster and loses value if you have to hold
血肉铸造
for any reason.
I generally recommend the following soulbind tree and conduit placement for Emeni:
Choosing Bonesmith Heirmir grants access to the following notable traits:
炉脉幻想
, a pseudo-
救赎之魂
ability and flat 3% intellect buff (assuming you're enchanted), allows you to continue to heal for 10s following your death albeit at a 50% reduced capacity. Pretty solid just for being enchanted..
累积的血肉铸造
provides an additional second of cooldown reduction for
血肉铸造
via its passive effect.
海尔米尔的军械库:髓噬宝石
grants an enormous amount of critical strike chance for 10s, but can only occur once every 60s. While we're able to quickly proc this via HoT ticks once the ICD is up, it's questionable as to whether this increased throughput will line up with incoming damage. Unfortunately there's also no good way to throttle yourself to hold the proc for just the right moment.
切肉者之眼
grants mastery when you damage an enemy above 90% health. This is problematic as a healer to activate and typically the first 10% of an encounter is fairly easier to heal. Might be good if you can frequently tag new enemies like in Mythic+.
记忆装备
, the new 9.1 capstone trait, is mostly about utility or damage for healers. Unless you're wanting to deal additional damage, you'll see better results from other soulbinds.
I generally recommend the following soulbind tree and conduit placement for Bonesmith Heirmir:
Double Legendaries for Necrolord Restoration 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 Restoration Druid even more. You can learn more about it in our Legendary Guide.

talent duration depends on the cooldown of covenant ability. So for Druids intellect buff duration is just 4 seconds.
