Night Fae Rogue Covenant Abilities
Night Fae Rogue Class Ability:
The Night Fae Class Ability for Rogues of all specializations is
. This ability is a pretty strong damage over time effect with good damage per execution. If the target survives the entire 10-second duration of the DoT, there is a powerful damage tick and, as a little bonus, you get a buff allowing you to use one stealth-requiring ability (without empowering synergies / stealth bonuses like
or
that require true Stealth). Should the target die before the DoT expires, the cooldown is instead reduced by a third.
This is a fine single target / priority focused class ability. As all Covenant class abilities, it only has a low numerical impact overall, making everything rather close.
Night Fae Conduit for
The corresponding conduit that modifies this ability is
, which adds a bonus to the DoT damage that decreases with each tick.
This is generally a rather underwhelming conduit for Assassination.
Assassination Rogue Conduit Guide
Night Fae Rogue Signature Ability:
is a pretty handy piece of movement utility. It adds a directional teleport and a movement speed increase to our toolkit, which is always nice to have alongside existing utility like
and
. As a bonus, Soulshape lasts indefinitely in rested areas like Oribos or capital cities and some soulbind powers modify it further.
The teleport target is always on the ground. This means you cannot just use it to prevent fall damage but you can actually skip the entire fall. If you jump from a height and teleport, you will appear on the ground.
Soulshape does not break from auto-attacks or interacting with objects, items, and NPCs. However, it does break whenever you use something on your action bar, including utility abilities.
Also, note that you can talk to
in your Covenant sanctum to change parts of the ability. Talk with her about the Natural Impetus effect, which allows you to change whether the teleport of Soulshape is going in the direction you are facing or moving. Very helpful and good to keep in mind. The same NPC also allows you to change the appearance of your Soulshape form to other ones that you can find and unlock while playing.
Night Fae Exclusive Legendary for Assassination Rogues
Night Fae Legendary
: When
expires on the target, you will gain
and
for 10 seconds.
Not worth crafting. It is a not very well designed legendary that throws cross-spec cooldowns into the rotation. While it is predictable, it delays the increase in damage in your opener and later as well. There's also a lot of weird interactions with the cooldowns for other specs, such as the reduced gcd timer from
not working with assassination abilities. Even if it worked more reliably and had none of these quirks, it requires a target to stay alive when using
to do anything at all, and then only provides 10s of a cooldown every 90s. After the buffs, the legendary isn't the worst to exist, but there are better options to craft.
Other Legendary Interactions for Night Fae Assassination Rogues
There are no noteworthy legendary interactions that should affect this covenant and soulbind choice or what legendary you want to target.
Assassination Rogue Legendary Guide
Best Night Fae Assassination Rogue Max Renown 80 Soulbind
On the way to Renown 80, the concept above stays solid in general. Korayn easily remains a top choice for dungeons because of its strength against regular adds and trash packs.
As far as raids and single target are concerned there is a shift towards Dreamweaver though. Dreamweaver will allow you to pick 3 potency conduits plus the powerful new
on top. As soon as you have that final power, you should run simulations to see how Dreamweaver compares versus Niya. With high enough conduits (or once empowered conduits come in) it is likely a good point to swap. That said, Dreamweaver is not expected to lead by much and you can continue with Niya if you prefer the playstyle and don't want to bother with standing in
or worrying about potential annoyances from
.
The below Soulbind Calculator is valid starting at Renown 57. 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
Assassination Rogue Conduit Guide
for more information on Conduits including Empowered Conduits.

Night Fae Assassination Rogue 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:
Assassination Rogue Rotation Guide
Due to the cooldown duration, you can use Sepsis on your main target pretty much whenever it's ready.
There is not much to be said about Soulshape rotationally. Use it at will when you need the directional teleport and movement speed increase. Also, don't forget you can have it on indefinitely in rested areas like Oribos or capital cities.
Some soulbind powers modify this ability, e.g. you can use it as a heal with
as well.
Night Fae Assassination Rogue Talent Builds
Your talent build does not change when picking this covenant. There is no special interaction with our kit and no reason to deviate from what build you are already choosing anyway. You can simply refer to the talent page of the guide for more information on talents.

Night Fae Assassination Rogue Gearing Differences
Being part of the Night Fae covenant does not really affect your gearing strategy or your stat priorities. As usual, we encourage you to sim yourself, and to also consider that, for generic play, the primary stat Agility provided by item level upgrades typically outweighs "better" secondary stats.

Night Fae Assassination Rogue Soulbinds Explained
Across all classes and specs, Night Faes have access to the same three soulbinds:
Niya
,
Dreamweaveer
and
Korayn
. They are the NPCs with whom you complete the zone story, and they 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).
These trees progressively unlock based on completion steps (such as finishing the campaign) and your Renown level with the Night Fae Covenant.
We've summarized a few traits for each soulbind below, along with potential conduits to slot in, below. Do bear in mind that these recommendations are based on a PvE DPS perspective. You have every right to adjust your soulbind trees to your and your group's own needs. If you have an incentive to pick a utility or survivability option instead of throughput traits, don't let this guide stop you from doing so.
Niya grants you these powerful traits:
is a good and straightforward first unlock that provides a bunch of Mastery whenever you use
. The best part about it is how early it is available.
is a VERY strong single target damage trait and usually worth the sacrifice of a Potency conduit. You will occasionally trigger burrs that spawn under your target which will then apply a powerful DoT to an enemy entering the zone / your main target if it still stands in it (with about 1s delay). There may be situations where you can miss it because enemies are kited away too quickly, but I don't think this should occur often enough to make it bad.
can also be a damage gain if you have enough opportunities for interrupts. It also has the advantage that it is on the path of a Potency conduit.
sounds like it is a trait for healers, however, it is also a fair damage gain for us and allows you to pick another Finesse conduit. The reason this is a considerable pick is that anything with a direct or periodic healing effect
existing
can proc this. Both
and
proc this simply because
and
(for Subtlety) exist; you don't need to have them active. The herbs have a 10s internal cooldown so they cannot proc during their own buff. After that, it is a 30% proc chance on any healing event, which is every 2s of
and every 1s of stealth.
empowers the top trait of
. Gaining a stack now heals nearby allies and if any of them is in a different covenant, you get an empowered version of Grove Invigoration.
An example tree to follow on this soulbind is as follows.
Dreamweaver provides a couple of interesting nodes:
is a modest DPS gain in group content. It just is a little bit too weak to justify the sacrifice of the Potency conduit. Nevertheless, you can keep this in mind for groups with the same power and in case you are interested in the additional Endurance conduit.
is a good damage gain, provided you can stand in the ground zone it creates when you use
.
adds a very powerful new trait to this soulbind that offers a very good damage increase against a priority target. The main thing to be aware of is the short duration. During downtimes when you are out of melee range, you can try to keep it up with
. That said, it stacks back up again rather quickly.
An example tree can be seen below.
Korayn grants access to the following notable traits:
is one of the best soulbind traits at the top of the trees and a solid DPS gain against targets above 75% max HP (boosting your opening burst). Numerically good, but can be situational and less worthwhile if you, for example, progress a boss that has an irrelevant first phase.
is a trait that comes in strong when there is a regular stream of new enemies. It is a pick that is easily worth sacrificing the Potency conduit for, but only in dungeons or content with add waves. For single target content, it is better to go for the Potency conduit. Keep in mind that this power can be a bit redundant if you also play with the
legendary.
adds a new effect on top of
. The gist of it is that if the time span between attacking an enemy above 75% to proc tactics and attacking any enemy below 35% health is less than a minute, then you will deal 5% more damage against the latter for 10s. This power is thus almost useless in long single-target fights but can become very powerful with moving HP bars around you. This concept reinforces Korayn in being a dungeon and world content favoring soulbind.
Here is an example tree for this soulbind with single target in mind.
should be the better final pick for dungeons.
Double Legendaries for Night Fae Assassination Rogue
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 Assassination Rogue even more. You can learn more about it in our Legendary Guide.
