Covenants
Covenants are a key part of the Shadowlands expansion. Selecting a Covenant gives you access to exclusive abilities - one that is Covenant-wide, and one that is specific to your class. You will also be given a choice of Soulbinds to enhance your power. For more information on Covenants, click here.
Soulbinds
Soulbinding is a new progression system that allows you to bind yourself to a significant member of your Covenant and share some of their power. Each Covenant has three potential Soulbind options with unique bonuses which can be powered up through a Soulbind tree. As you gain Renown with your Covenant, more rows of your Soulbind tree will be unlocked. Conduits add further possibility for customization, filling empty sockets with one of three bonus types. For more information on Soulbinds, click here.
Conduits
Conduits are available in three types; Potency, Endurance, and Finesse. Potency Conduits increase your spell power, Endurance Conduits provide additional defense, and Finesse Conduits provide you with additional utility. Some Conduits are the same across classes but some are specific to your class. For more information on Conduits, click here.
Best Covenant for Frost Death Knight in PvP
Necrolord is the best overall Covenant for Frost by far. Frost DK PvP is very cleave-centric. You have a lot of instant AoE damage and crowd control effects, namely
致盲冰雨
,
绝对零度
,
寒冰联结
, and
凛风冲击
empowered by
白霜
. The value of the Necrolord Covenant is heavily increased by Frost's reliance on these AoE and cleave effects. It's massively disruptive, perfect for setting up and sustaining AoE burst windows, and generally massively beneficial to your teammates because of its ability to group up players for their AoE damage, or peel for teammates because of the constant anti-mobility answers. Furthermore, the
白霜
procs that it generates during its duration are massively synergistic with
湮没
and make every setup that much more damaging for both cleave and single target. Because of all this, nothing else was able to remotely match the value of Necrolord despite having solid Covenant Abilities and Soulbinds of their own.
However, both Kyrian and Night Fae have some interesting use in arena even if they are not able to match Necrolord's raw viability, for those who really wish to try something different. Kyrian has a very reliable 1 minute burst ability, that fits right in with
冰霜之柱
and Night Fae allows you to cleave with
湮灭
which when empowered by
杀戮机器
deals massive damage. They both have very good Soulbinds and paths which will be described below. They will not be nearly as viable in arena, but a skilled player will be able to do some impressive work with the strengths of each Covenant.
Venthyr on the other hand has most of its benefits directed toward PVE environments. We don't have trouble with Runic Power generation in PvP, which is one of its main selling points. The Signature Ability
暗影之门
is very poor and does not solve Death Knight's lack of mobility at all.
Therefore, the covenants would be ordered like this:
Necrolord >>> Night Fae = Kyrian > Venthyr
Best Conduits for Frost Death Knight in PvP
These are the potency conduits that are most impactful in a PvP setting.
严寒加速
is a must take as it smooths out your burst window with the extra haste providing faster globals.
残暴之握
should always be used as in 9.2 we will always be equipped with the paired
憎恶之狂
legendary.
根除打击
is significantly better now after the buffs to
冰霜打击
and should be used for single target burst.
永冻之冰
gives a good amount of extra cleave which a short CD. It can be added to almost any situation.
These are the endurance conduits that are most impactful in a PvP setting.
无餍食欲
buffs Death Strike healing by quite a bit and sustained survivability is very important in PvP.
硬化骨骼
gives you a much needed damage reduction in a pinch. This is a must use at all times.
强化护壳
is very impactful when using the
远古暗影之穹
PvP talent.
Our finesse conduits are fairly lackluster, so you would really shoot for as few as possible, while always picking up
凛冬坚韧
.
Changing Covenants - Factors to Consider
As mentioned above, Necrolord practically defines Death Knight in PvP right now. The other options are shown here for players who prioritize lore, aesthetic, or interesting experimentation over raw potency. If none of those things define your enjoyment of the game, you will always stick with Necrolord and there is no real reason to utilize the ease of Covenant swapping now. With every patch, Necrolord just becomes even more separated from the other options, because of how much power we have packed into our cleave burst window, which requires (obviously) every member of the enemy team to be stacked on top of each other for the best results.
憎恶附肢
single handedly creates this window, resulting in its dominance over the other options all expansion long!
As mentioned above, if you do want to try out one of the other covenants, Kyrian and Night Fae will probably be your best bet and all of the setups required to make them work are found in this section and the gearing section so you can pick the proper legendary for your new playstyle. Enjoy!
Playing as a Kyrian Frost Death Knight in PvP
Signature Covenant Ability -
召唤执事者
Class Covenant Ability -
失格者之梏
Factors to Consider
Both the Signature and Class covenant abilities for Kyrian are decent in a PvP situation.
召唤执事者
gives you another recovery answer to powerful goes, not only from the heal, but from the cleanse. Certain classes rely on those effects (bleeds, poisons, diseases) to keep their sustained damage high. A Feral Druid or any Rogue spec who has all of their bleeds (and poisons!) cleared off after using combo points to apply them will lose a lot of pressure.
失格者之梏
does sync perfectly with
冰霜之柱
and fits directly into our burst windows. You get damage added to each window that can easily spread to the other targets during the AoE setup, preferably in an AoE stun. Furthermore, the ability gives you Mastery on use if selecting Pelagos. The damage reduction is a nice plus because it will stop the enemy from getting counter pressure if your setup does not win you the game.
Soulbind - Pelagos
Soulbind - Kleia
Soulbind - Mikanikos
This soulbind is currently not recommended for Frost DK PvP.]
Playing as a Necrolord Frost Death Knight in PvP
Signature Covenant Ability -
血肉铸造
Class Covenant Ability -
憎恶附肢
Factors to Consider
Necrolord's class ability
憎恶附肢
is the definitive reason there is so much excitement surrounding this Covenant. It is flavorful, iconic, and immensely powerful as it combines disruption with damage with setup all into one fantastic button press. It will certainly define a win condition when you choose this covenant as maximizing your AoE damage, AoE CC, and other disruption effect during this window could lock out an enemy team until someone dies.
The signature ability,
血肉铸造
, was buffed over the course of Season 1 and is now very impactful for survivability. It helps defend against swaps and rot damage by being a hefty shield that you can apply ahead of time.
Because of these factors, Necrolord is the default best covenant for Frost DK PvP.
Choosing between your soulbinds is difficult. Both Plague Deviser Marileth and Bonesmith Heirmir have some very convincing arguments to be made. Plague Deviser is much better for single target and just overall consistency during burst windows, but Bonesmith can really shine with high uptime on
切肉者之眼
especially paired against classes with pets. Even Emeni has value in extreme burst situations. It's worth taking note of the win conditions against the comp you are playing against and changing in the starting room before the arena, as you are able to do that.
Pick Plague Deviser if you just need to be consistent and as tanky as possible.
Pick Bonesmith if you need as much overall output as possible.
Pick Emeni if you need the highest possible burst window in a short period of time.
Soulbind - Marileth
Soulbind - Emeni
Soulbind - Heirmir
Playing as a Night Fae Frost Death Knight in PvP
Signature Covenant Ability -
灵魂变形
Class Covenant Ability -
消亡之债
Factors to Consider
Night Fae has a class ability that gives it a very impressive setup, but with a great deal of preparation required.
消亡之债
when placed down prior to a
死亡之握
into AoE stun setup, while using the
猜疑之息
is one of the most absurd, powerful AoE setups available in the game. You will get 15% Haste, cleave with your
湮灭
, a stacking Strength buff, and a constant pseudo-CC fear. Keep in mind that this is in addition to your standard setup tools like
冷酷严冬
and
寒冰联结
. If set up properly, this would be a nightmare to live through. That said, if anything is disrupted and the setup doesn't go exactly that way, the ability is very weak.
The signature ability
灵魂变形
gives a great deal of mobility, but in a finnicky way for PvP. Since it is a form, you have to use it in windows where you need to cover a good distance - it can not be used with your standard offensive or defensive rotation because the shapeshift disables your other abilities. It can be valuable, but is not the cure for DK mobility that you might hope it to be.
Soulbind - Niya
Soulbind - Dreamweaver
This soulbind is not currently recommended for Frost DK PVP.
Soulbind - Korayn
This soulbind is not currently recommended for Frost DK PVP.
Playing as a Venthyr Frost Death Knight in PvP
Signature Covenant Ability -
暗影之门
Class Covenant Ability -
云集之雾
Factors to Consider
Venthyr is pretty underwhelming for Frost DK PvP. The class ability
云集之雾
is strong and scales up fantastic the more players you add, but in a 3v3 or 2v2 environment is not nearly as potent compared to the other setups outlined in this guide. It requires the massive amount of targets found in PvE, namely M+ content, to really shine. The survivability is fine but does not apply to most comps and only benefits us against melee cleaves.
The signature ability
暗影之门
is just awful. You would think since mobility is our weakness that a movement option would be valuable, but the cast time makes it unusable. It can be disrupted by any pseudo-CC or hard-CC effect in the game, and has a long cooldown for something that is just one gap closer with a windup. Most classes have a default mobility toolkit that would allow them to move out of your targeted location before the spell even goes off, if it even does. This ability is very weak in a PvP setting.
Venthyr appears to be the weakest PvP covenant for Frost Death Knight, but below will be the best Soulbind if you chose it for PvE reasons. Nadjia as a soulbind is actually very good.
Soulbind - Nadjia
Soulbind - Theotar
This soulbind is currently not recommended for Frost DK PvP.
Soulbind - Draven
This soulbind is currently not recommended for Frost DK PvP.

Just a minor change, but consider using Links to the actual Essences in that pane, rather than the rank 3 drop items? Seems rather beat-around-the-bush way to see "Oh thats conflict and strife" or "Oh thats blood of the enemy".
