About the Author
This guide was written by Llarold! I’ve been tanking since Vanilla. During Mists of Pandaria, I saw an opportunity to begin writing guides, and I took it with the hopes of making myself a better tank and making the community into better tanks with me. I hope it’s working!
I am active in all of the tank class Discords but primarily contribute to theorycrafting discussions in
Peak of Serenity
and
Skyhold
(Monk and Warrior). I’m active on
Twitter
, where I mostly talk WoW (and basketball), and I’m half of the team responsible for the YouTube channel
WoW at Night
, which focuses primarily on tank guides and previews.
Night Fae Protection Warrior Covenant Abilities
Night Fae Warrior Class Ability:
上古余震
The Night Fae Class Ability for Warriors of all specializations is
上古余震
: a 90 second cooldown, AoE damage & Rage generation skill. It increases in value with target count, but is capped at 5. It’s a significant offensive cooldown, and a good all-around skill.
Despite being less valuable for Rage generation against 1 or 2 targets than
晋升堡垒之矛
(assuming you are using
穿刺之裁
or
毁灭回响
, which you should),
上古余震
is numerically superior as a DPS skill, and as a Rage generator in all-out AoE. The AoE knockdown utility can also be extremely strong for locking down packs of caster mobs.
上古余震
has a lot of positives, but a few downsides. It’s simple to use, it deals a lot of damage, and it generates a ton of Rage in AoE. That’s all great! The downsides are that the cooldown doesn't line up with any of your other major cooldowns, the Rage generation is pretty spread out and not good in single-target, and this ability gets punished badly by movement.
Night Fae Warrior is good, but not quite on par with Kyrian, which is second-place overall, behind Necrolord. That puts Night Fae at a fairly-distant third place. Not great.
Night Fae Conduit for
上古余震
毁灭回响
is an excellent bonus. It adds a lot of cooldown reduction and a decent chunk of extra damage onto one of your biggest offensive cooldowns. It's really good for improving your burst damage, and easily your strongest Potency Conduit.
Protection Warrior Conduit Guide
Night Fae Signature Ability:
灵魂变形
灵魂变形
is a simple mobility skill. It grants a short-cooldown, short-distance teleport forward, and a modest movement speed increase on a moderate cooldown. It’s pretty good, and getting a defensive buff out of the Signature skill isn’t the end all-be all of Covenant choices. Then again, Warriors already have great mobility tools, and this doesn’t really fix a huge, glaring problem with the class. It throws another useful skill into the mix, and it can be extremely powerful for teleporting through boss mechanics in raids, but its value is usually situational.
It is pretty, and that's great.
Night Fae Exclusive Legendary for Protection Warriors
自然之怒
adds 3 extra seconds onto
上古余震
and makes it apply a stacking damage over time debuff, as well. It's a good burst damage increase, but it makes the biggest problem with Night Fae Warrior even bigger: What if the enemies move out? You lose tons of damage, that's what!
It's a good DPS increase, and that's great. The extra tick also adds a tiny bit more CC value, which isn't bad, either.
Other Legendary Interactions for Night Fae Protection Warriors
上古余震
doesn't directly interact with your Legendaries. That's okay, it's still good, it’s still good!
Protection Warrior Legendary Guide
Best Night Fae Protection Warrior Soulbinds
Best Night Fae Protection Warrior Renown 80 Soulbind
Niya offers the best all-around value of any Night Fae Soulbind at Renown 80, as well. Korayn is a good AoE DPS option, but Niya's stat budget is simply more reliable and versatile.
Night Fae Protection Warrior Covenant Rotation Changes
As usual, this page only highlights the specific use case of the class and signature abilities. For more detail on how to play the class across the range of potential situations, check out our other, more detailed guide pages:
Protection Warrior Rotation Guide
上古余震
Ancient Aftershock should virtually always be used on cooldown. Use your other offensive cooldowns (
天神下凡
,
挫志怒吼
with
震耳嗓音
) first if they are available. You can hold off on casting Ancient Aftershock to get cooldowns up if they will be available shortly, but don’t wait too long. Gaining an extra cast in a fight is worth using an unbuffed Ancient Aftershock, but if you can’t gain an extra cast, lining everything up is the better way to go.
Be sure to keep spending Rage while Ancient Aftershock is active to ensure you don’t cap at any point.
灵魂变形
It’s a mobility skill. You can use it to teleport over dangerous raid mechanics as needed. Otherwise, it’s useful whenever you need mobility and everything else is on cooldown. At some times it's extremely good. At other times, it's just kinda okay. Situational value!
That's it!
Night Fae Protection Warrior Talent Builds
Your talents do not change when using
上古余震
. Not at all.
Protection Warrior Talents
Night Fae Protection Warrior Gearing Differences
上古余震
doesn't have any kind of unusual interactions with gear. Gear exactly the same way you always do: Prioritize item level, sockets, Haste, and Versatility. Mastery and Crit are both still good, just a little less powerful and reliable than the other stats.
Night Fae Protection Warrior Soulbinds
Across all classes and specs, Night Fae have access to the same three soulbinds:
Niya
,
Dreamweaver
and
Korayn
. These are the NPCs who accompany you in completing the Ardenweald storyline. As you gain Renown with the Night Fae, you gain deeper access to a tree of Soulbind traits (always-on, game-wide bonuses) and Conduits (semi-customizable bonuses to specific abilities).
These tree progressively unlock based on completion steps (such as finishing the campaign) and your renown level with the Night Fae Covenant.
Below, we have summarized the optimal route through each Soulbind tree, and the best Conduits along the way. There is some flexibility at points, with some Soulbind traits offering two non-throughput, utility-oriented options, or some defensive Conduits being arguably better in some situations than others, and weaker in some situations than others.
Niya grants three powerful traits:
林地复兴
grants a Mastery and Maximum Health proc. The buff overlaps, but does not refresh, and using
上古余震
grants 12 stacks at once. It’s a good bonus that will make your burst damage windows more effective, but it isn't going to provide much consistent value outside of those big windows.
尼娅的工具:毒药
makes interrupting a DPS increase. It’s okay, but not really all that big of a deal.
尼娅的工具:锉刀
forces you away from a Potency Conduit slot, but it deals enough to compensate.
幸存者集结
is a simple, modest defensive lifeline. It's decent, but the constant bursts of movement speed from
精确射击
is also very nice.
联结之心
adds some group healing and a nice boost of Mastery and Maximum Health.
林地复兴
is good enough on its own to arguably make this the strongest tree, but the traits you unlock in the bottom half really push it to another level.
Here is an ideal setup for this Soulbind Tree:
Dreamweaver provides a couple of valuable bonuses:
灵茧守护者
is a Cheat Death effect. It’s far from perfect. It can't be canceled early, so this can spell death for your party in Mythic+ dungeons or your co-tank in raids. It's promising on paper and good for non-tanks, but for tanks, it's probably worse than nothing at all.
蝴蝶效应
grants you a small Versatility buff that rotates between you and nearby allies. It’s undertuned and unappealing.
繁华原野
makes Ancient Aftershock grant a decent Haste buff. The buff is strong, but it reinforces the issues of being punished by movement and it is unnecessarily brief. It's not great.
梦境初醒
adds an occasional shield. More defensive layers is always good, and this isn't bad.
梦境探索者
is a very simple damage and healing increase. It's not bad, but not mechanically very interesting, either.
灵茧守护者
makes this Soulbind a very dangerous tree for tanks, and pretty hard to justify ever using. Aside from that bonus, it's still not really a competitive option even once the full tree is unlocked.
Here is an ideal setup for this Soulbind Tree:
Picking Korayn grants access to the following notable traits:
荒猎团战术
grants, on average, about 2.5% more damage throughout a fight. This is an underestimate, since you generally start out fights with all of your offensive cooldowns, and an extra 10% damage layered out on top of that can potentially be worth more than 2.5% throughout an entire fight. It’s also a nice little boost to help lock down threat at the start of pulls. The added movement speed is not a big deal, but not bad.
勇面敌人
grants a constant 3% damage reduction from enemies you are tanking, which is a good defensive gain. It’s simple. It’s but good.
坚守阵地
is in the same tier as Face Your Foes, and does not affect magic damage, and requires standing still for 5 seconds,
and
requires going through a second Finesse Conduit -- but it offers a lot of physical damage reduction.
争先打击
is an excellent offensive power when running Mythic+ or doing fights with groups of periodically spawning adds. It's practically worthless in pure single target, so be sure not to run this tree in ST!
狩猎刺激
is a simple tertiary stat boost. Not bad, but nothing special as a tank.
狂野狩猎策略
is a passive throughput increase that works a bit strangely. It's not bad, but it's not great, either.
Korayn offers a lot of burst damage in AoE, but that's really about the extent of it, and compared to Niya's constant boost to stat budget, it's not really all that competitive in most circumstances:
Double Legendaries for Night Fae Protection Warrior
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 Protection Warrior even more. You can learn more about it in our Legendary Guide.
