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 damage output, 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.
Your best two best potency conduits for Monk (unless you're Kyrian) are going to be as follows:
三魂归一
and
运筹连环
. Your third potency conduit will always be your Covenant specific conduit:
骨髓酒花
,
注能映像
,
法夜之道
.
Your best two Endurance conduits are
壮胆配料
and
定息活血
.
And your best two Finesse conduits are
骨软筋酥
and
失神倾倒
.
Best Covenant for Windwalker Monk in PvP
Necrolord > Kyrian > Venthyr > Night Fae
When looking at Covenants, you aren’t just looking at the class ability, you’re looking at the Soulbinds and signature ability as well. That being said, the best Covenant as of right now is Necrolord for it synergizes the best with Windwalker in PvP. Your entire playstyle is based around its Covenant ability currently, and without it you are much weaker than others.
The reason for this is not just the ability
骨尘酒
which is a great and consistent cooldown, but also the signature ability
血肉铸造
which offers an insane amount of durability to survive burst damage from openers into compositions like RMP which alone makes it one of the best options.
Kyrian previously being the best is still a good option for hyper aggressive compositions that like to end games quickly or play a hit and run playstyle, it just doesn't match the current playstyle of Monk as well as Necrolord and meta of the state of PvP right now.
Covenant Swapping
As of 9.1.5, you're given the ability to swap to any Covenant at any time. Although this would require an extreme amount of games to know what's best into X while playing X while your teammates have X playstyle, here is a little synopsis on what situations a Covenant would be good in:
Swapping from Necrolord to Kyrian when you're playing a hyper aggressive composition where games aren't going past a minute long is a far more valuable choice than Necrolord. As Necrolord requires a little finesse and stuns to maximize its damage output in a short window, that simply isn't possible in short games that run on fumes from the start as every player in the game has their PvP trinkets available and defensives. On the other hand,
精序兵戈
is a 30 second window that will last through a whole Diminishing Returns cycle, and defensive cooldowns for you to sustain your pressure and look to land a kill.
Another thing to note about swapping to Kyrian over Necrolord is I'd highly recommend it versus Hunter Compositions where you're mainly focusing the Hunter.
假死
actually cleanses
骨尘酒
which makes it significantly harder and more tedious to setup a kill on a Hunter as they're likely playing with a Badge trinket or are an Orc, so your setup would be landing your
扫堂腿
, casting
骨尘酒
then doing about 2 globals of damage before they leave the stun to press
假死
. Kyrian would instead allow you to start your damage at any time before you land your stun and be able to do your full rotation in your stun rather than wasting a global pressing
骨尘酒
.
Other than those scenarios I would just recommend sticking with Necrolord as it offers too much burst and survivability too often over Kyrian. And the other two Covenants; Night Fae and Venthyr are still too weak to consider swapping to in niche scenarios.
Kyrian
Positives
Kyrian offers insane value to the specialization - burst and survivability.
精序兵戈
is just such a strong ability paired with Palegos’ Soulbind with such a long duration and a cooldown that lines up with
白虎下凡
.
Pelagos also gained a very valuable Soulbind to offset the need to play Mikanikos over him with
虔敬者之路
. Reading this Soulbind, it sounds really good, but we are unsure if it will proc when you get restunned or only when you leave crowd control.
静谧之瓶
synergizes greatly with your specialization as it helps you immensely against classes you are weak against - Rogues, Feral Druids, and Warriors to a lesser extent.
There are other Soulbinds you can take against setup comps such as Rogue/Mage or comps that aim to kill you in stuns as more of a defensive tree, being Forgelite Prime Mikanikos as he offers Soulbinds like
闪亮的流波之球核心
and
掌炉大师的滤网
which are
very
powerful against setup comps.
In 9.1, Mikanikos also gained a great damaging Soulbind in the form of
溢流心能加速器
which offsets the damage loss from not using Pelagos, and another great defensive Soulbind with
反应式改造
.
Negatives
You're a little reliant on the Palegos soulbind to be so powerful, so situations where you need to take Mikanikos could see a dramatic decrease in power.
Night Fae
Positives
Night Fae will likely scale very well later on in the expansion, but this is my own theorycrafting.
A niche signature ability in
灵魂变形
allows us to leave roots and blink a fair distance to get around corners, or land a cheeky interrupt on someone kiting you.
Two good Soulbinds that will scale well in later patches being Niya and Korayn, Korayn being the more noteworthy one due to her Soulbind
荒猎团战术
.
An okay class ability,
妖魂踏
is very consistent damage compared to Kyrian’s burst damage and it cleaves.
Night Fae has a very good Covenant-specific conduit in
法夜之道
.
Negatives
The signature ability goes to waste on Windwalker due to not needing extra mobility in the kit.
With how bursty the meta is right now, having the consistent damage of Faeline Stomp is just not as valuable as it could be.
It is unlikely to get a lot of value out of your class ability due to the high movement nature of PvP, however.
Necrolord
Positives
This is another scaling Covenant, with the class ability having the most burst potential out of all the Covenants.
It has
the best
Covenant-specific conduit in
骨髓酒花
.
It has two great Soulbinds being Marileth for
乌兹的和谐覆层
, and Emeni providing
身先士卒
and
硫磺喷发
.
血肉铸造
can become a playmaking tool when paired with Marileth as you can immune key Crowd Control abilities with it.
Negatives
The class ability is a little RNG and can be frustrating/finicky to play with as. The class ability also needs the Covenant's conduit to make it worth anything.
Sometimes it can be a little confusing to know the right times to start casting
血肉铸造
to avoid damage, as casting it at the right time can be game changing.
Venthyr
Positives
It has the third best signature ability in
暗影之门
, which is very applicable in many situations especially in Rated Battlegrounds.
It gives you decent burst with the class ability,
陨落僧众
.
It has one very good Soulbind and 2 pretty niche Soulbinds;
岩石效命
from Draven is an excellent defensive Soulbind,
混沌代理人
from Nadija is a very cool, niche Soulbind, and
看好脚下!
from Theotar can be really good against the likes of Frost Mages.
Negatives
陨落僧众
does not have smart targeting and will break all crowd control for over 30 seconds.
The damage from
陨落僧众
is very mediocre for being a 3 minute cooldown and not being able to control the pets.
陨落僧众
are very susceptible to AoE crowd control like roots, leg sweeps, fears, slows, etc. making their already bad damage essentially useless against classes with those abilities.
It relies heavily on the conduit
注能映像
for
陨落僧众
to do its mediocre damage.
It has practically no good offensive Soulbinds for PvPing as a Windwalker that don't make you give up a Potency conduit; needing 1 required for its Covenant ability makes it really bad.
陨落僧众
can be inconsistent with the amount of DPS it produces.
Playing as a Kyrian Windwalker Monk in PvP
Signature Covenant Ability -
召唤执事者
Class Covenant Ability -
精序兵戈
Recommended Soulbind - Pelagos
Factors to Consider
Using
精序兵戈
can change your rotations drastically, especially when specialized into
白虎拳
. Prioritizing
幻灭踢
over spending energy have you the necessary Chi, I recommend starting with full Chi before using
精序兵戈
or you might lose out on quite a bit of damage using Tiger Palms for Chi during your Chi reduction buff which is precisely why I recommend having
白虎拳
so you don't have to use Tiger Palm much. Also, make sure you use
白虎下凡
to proc your
祈求者之愉
before you use
精序兵戈
to gain maximum value out of the Chi reduction buff.
Soulbind - Pelagos
Pelagos has by far the best synergy offensively with Windwalker. It almost seems his Soulbind,
战斗冥想
, was made for
精序兵戈
given they last the same duration assuming you pick up the memories. Mastery is just flat damage for Windwalker so with Pelagos you just have a 30 second window of burst.
放下过去
isn't really worth much of a mention but it is a nice damage reduction to the already squishy Windwalker.
Recommended Potency conduit:
三魂归一
,
运筹连环
and
洞察一击
Recommended Endurance conduit:
壮胆配料
and
接木成林
Recommended Finesse conduit:
骨软筋酥
and
身法决
Soulbind - Kleia
There is not much worth mentioning in this Soulbind. The defensive Soulbinds may look appealing but there aren't many situations you'll find benefit from them.
骁勇打击
might come into play at times but there is no reason to play this Soulbind for defense over Mikanikos.
Recommended Potency conduit:
三魂归一
,
运筹连环
and
洞察一击
Recommended Endurance conduit:
壮胆配料
and
接木成林
Recommended Finesse conduit:
骨软筋酥
and
身法决
Soulbind - Mikanikos
This Soulbind offers many great defensive options if you are in need of them.
掌炉大师的滤网
I believe can proc even if you've already used a Phial, even then proccing Phial while you're low and stunned against, for example, an Assassination Rogue can be game changing in helping you survive the stun.
That, paired with
闪亮的流波之球核心
stunning a potential Rogue or Feral trying to stun-lock you and allowing you to break free from the Crowd Control chain and port away can also be very game changing. I predict people will play this Soulbind quite a bit against Rogue/Mage.
Recommended Potency conduit:
三魂归一
,
运筹连环
and
洞察一击
Recommended Endurance conduit:
壮胆配料
and
接木成林
Recommended Finesse conduit:
骨软筋酥
and
身法决
Playing as a Necrolord Windwalker Monk in PvP
Signature Covenant Ability -
血肉铸造
Class Covenant Ability -
骨尘酒
Recommended Soulbind - Marileth > Emeni > Heirmir
Factors to Consider
When picking Necrolord you have to consider that a lot of the time your burst is going to be heavily RNG-based, and so before using
骨尘酒
to have full Chi,
旭日东升踢
,
怒雷破
and
升龙霸
all available. Do not use Bonedust Brew without
风火雷电
up. Note that Necrolord won't be very good until later ranks of the conduit
骨髓酒花
in which it will get considerably better.
Soulbind - Marileth
Marileth has unique uses with
终极形态
and has a great defensive Soulbind in
乌兹的和谐覆层
. I don't see this Soulbind seeing much play outside of scenarios where you will need
乌兹的和谐覆层
to survive. There are also unique situations in Battlegrounds where
终极形态
can do a lot of work.
Recommended Potency conduit:
三魂归一
,
运筹连环
and
骨髓酒花
Recommended Endurance conduit:
壮胆配料
and
接木成林
Recommended Finesse conduit:
骨软筋酥
and
身法决
Soulbind - Emeni
身先士卒
has great synergy with your Necrolord ability,
柔韧腿部
is actually a pretty niche Soulbind in Battlegrounds and you can even take a defensive path in this tree by taking
硫磺喷发
over a potency conduit which is a very good Soulbind.
Recommended Potency conduit:
三魂归一
,
运筹连环
and
骨髓酒花
Recommended Endurance conduit:
壮胆配料
and
接木成林
Recommended Finesse conduit:
骨软筋酥
and
身法决
Soulbind - Heirmir
There is currently nothing to mention of value in this Soulbind over the other two. 3% mainstat with
炉脉幻想
is kind of neat but over the other two, I wouldn't recommend it.
Recommended Potency conduit:
三魂归一
,
运筹连环
and
骨髓酒花
Recommended Endurance conduit:
壮胆配料
and
接木成林
Recommended Finesse conduit:
骨软筋酥
and
身法决
Playing as a Night Fae Windwalker Monk in PvP
Signature Covenant Ability -
灵魂变形
Class Covenant Ability -
妖魂踏
Recommended Soulbind - Korayn/Dreamweaver, but all 3 are good
Factors to Consider
When playing Night Fae your consistent damage will be a fair bit higher due to the nature of the class ability
妖魂踏
and the Soulbind it triggers if you bind to Niya,
林地复兴
.
妖魂踏
is also a cleave ability that goes a fair distance so you need to be wary of where you're positioning it so you can get max uptime on its reset buff, and also to not break crowd control.
Soulbind - Niya
林地复兴
is a a nice Mastery boost and you have it up quite often due to the low cooldown of
灵魂变形
.
不休不疲
would be a nice Soulbind on a class without self healing, a.k.a not a Monk.
尼娅的工具:毒药
provides some damage for landing an interrupt, although a very low amount of damage so its not much worth mentioning. You take this for the potency conduit slot.
Recommended Potency conduit:
三魂归一
,
运筹连环
and
法夜之道
Recommended Endurance conduit:
壮胆配料
and
接木成林
Recommended Finesse conduit:
骨软筋酥
and
身法决
Soulbind - Dreamweaver
灵茧守护者
As funny as it might look to read in a PvP situation the pod itself actually has a reasonable amount of HP and your teammates can use utility spells like
牺牲祝福
on it, which means you're guaranteed to come back to life.
延缓之声
is actually worth mentioning here as a bind because of how often you have
分筋错骨
up.
繁华原野
is actually quite a good bind except in PvP you move around a lot, so unless you're training an immobile target you won't see much value out of this bind.
Recommended Potency conduit:
三魂归一
,
运筹连环
and
法夜之道
Recommended Endurance conduit:
壮胆配料
and
接木成林
Recommended Finesse conduit:
骨软筋酥
and
身法决
Soulbind - Korayn
荒猎团战术
can be quite good since in PvP, players are often in this health threshold.
勇面敌人
can actually add up to quite a bit of damage mitigated over the course of a longer game in a cleave matchup which makes I recommend taking Korayn in such matchups.
Recommended Potency conduit:
三魂归一
,
运筹连环
, and
法夜之道
Recommended Endurance conduit:
壮胆配料
and
接木成林
Recommended Finesse conduit:
骨软筋酥
and
身法决
Playing as a Venthyr Windwalker Monk in PvP
Signature Covenant Ability -
暗影之门
Class Covenant Ability -
陨落僧众
Recommended Soulbind - General Drave, Theotar
Factors to Consider
You will be playing a lot of hit and run playing Venthyr, waiting for your big 3 minute bang to come back up - that is the playstyle you choose when playing Venthyr. Remember to be wary of AoE crowd controls before pressing
陨落僧众
or your 3 minute cooldown will be squandered. Also be wary of breakable crowd control, for Venthyr pets do not have smart targeting.
暗影之门
is probably the highlight of playing Venthyr for you have a unique mobility spell that's very hard for people to play around when using it to escape, or chase someone trying to kite you.
No last row Soulbinds are even worth mentioning, especially the ones you'd be taking over the Potency conduit.
Soulbind - Nadjia
Notably improved in Patch 9.1 and probably your best offensive Soulbind for this Covenant since the Haste buff now converts into 20% Versatility for you. There is also a great defensive Soulbind you will specialization into as well.
混沌代理人
is probably the best part about Venthyr Soulbinds for Monk. It's an AoE disorient on a 1 minute cooldown, a diminishing return Monk has no access to. The only drawback is that it has a reasonably long cast time, unaffected by Haste.
Recommended Potency conduit:
三魂归一
,
运筹连环
and
注能映像
Recommended Endurance conduit:
壮胆配料
and
接木成林
Recommended Finesse conduit:
骨软筋酥
and
身法决
Soulbind - Theotar
For
抚慰阴影
, you need to be hitting an immobile target to make use of it, which is not feasible as of right now.
Theotar surprisingly has two good choices in this tree; one being
从容不迫
, which I would highly recommend in Battlegrounds, the other being
看好脚下!
which I would recommend playing in arena for the added utility.
Recommended Potency conduit:
三魂归一

and

Soulbind - Draven
岩石效命
is a very nice damage reduction at low health percentages, one of the better Soulbinds for Venthyr, although the secondary effect is unlikely to be useful in PvP.
持续阴霾
is a nice shield if you're using Door to escape.
坚守阵地
is only really useful if you get stunned, and even then is not that noticeable. Again, you take it for the Potency slot.
