About the Author
I'm
Azortharion
, hailing from the cold north of Denmark. I have been theorycrafting, writing guides, and
streaming
for Hunters since 2014, as well as playing the game on a high level, with hundreds of rank 1 parses and dozens of World #1 Mythic+ runs on all 3 Hunter specs over the game's history. I also founded and run
Trueshot Lodge
, the official
Discord
for the Hunter Community, where I always solicit and address feedback, suggestions, and comments for this guide. Most importantly, I wrote the Wowhead Marksmanship Hunter Guide that you are reading now! You can also find me on my
Personal Hunter Discord Server
, where I offer more direct coaching and advice to thousands of Hunters. You may also find me on
Twitter
and

Night Fae Hunter Covenant Abilities
Night Fae Hunter Class Ability:
野性之魂
野性之魂
is a 2-minute cooldown that places a fairly large area of effect at a targeted location. Other players are only able to see a faint visual. While enemies remain in the area, every damaging ability you cast causes Wild Spirits to deal nature damage to up to 5 enemies within the area (dealing damage to a single target automatically hits up to 5 targets, you do not need to hit those 5 targets). Enemies within the circle are also marked with
野性印记
and take 5% increased damage while Wild Spirits persists. If enemies are moved out of the circle, they will no longer take damage nor benefit from the 5% increased damage.
Night Fae is Marksmanship's best all-around covenant and is by far the best covenant for cleave damage. The fact that
野性之魂
is a 2-minute cooldown causes it to lose a bit of value as it isn't as flexible as most other Covenant options. Depending on cadences, Wild Spirits may can be extremely strong burst damage. Since it is a 2-minute cooldown, it lines up perfectly with
百发百中
. Trueshot's increased Focus regen along with its reduced cast times of
瞄准射击
allows us to pump out more casts than usual, proccing Wild Spirits a fair amount of times during its window.
Night Fae Conduit for
野性之魂
The covenant-specific conduit for Night Fae is
灵魂协调
. It extends
野性之魂
by 3 seconds and buffs the damage of Wild Spirits. The initial gain of Spirit Attunement is strong, but sadly it is perhaps one of the worst scaling conduits in the game. Spirit Attunement synergizes well with
神射手的专注
due to the increased time that each conduit provides.
Marksmanship Hunter Conduit Guide
Night Fae Hunter Signature Ability:
灵魂变形
Night Fae gives us access to
灵魂变形
. Soulshape allows us to teleport a short distance and provides a solid movement speed bonus for a short period afterward. Additionally, every few seconds you can reactivate the teleport to continually teleport while soul-shaped. While the additional teleport and movement speed can be useful, practically speaking, Hunters don't have too many uses for it considering we have
猎豹守护
and
逃脱
. It is a very nice quality of life ability though.
That being said, Soulshape is one of the coolest abilities speaking in terms of aesthetics. By progressing through your Covenant campaign, you will unlock different soulshape forms, allowing you to shift into different animal forms. You can morph into Unicorns, Tigers, Bears, Toads and many more! For a full list of possible forms, check out this
article
! Additional soulshapes have been added in patch 9.1.
Night Fae Exclusive Legendary for Marksmanship Hunters
NEW Night Fae Legendary
宏角碎片
: When
野性之魂
hits fewer than 5 targets, there is a 100% chance to proc it a second time.
Night Fae's covenant legendary is
宏角碎片
. Fragments of the Elder Antlers gives Night Fae the best burst cleave damage out of all of the covenants in the 2-4 target range, assuming the enemies are grouped together. The downside to this legendary is that as soon as a 5th target is introduced, it no longer works and you're essentially playing without a legendary. Thus, for any encounter where 2-4 target burst is required, Night Fae reigns supreme.
巨蛇追猎者的诡计
is still better in spread 2 target cleave scenarios. The other caveat attached to this legendary is external buffs. The value of Antlers skyrockets with
能量灌注
and
志趣相投
(with
志趣亲和
equipped), making Night Fae the best covenant option in the 1-4 target range if you'll be getting either buff.
Other Legendary Interactions for Night Fae Marksmanship Hunters
There is really only one legendary that synergizes well with Night Fae:
鹰爪的全神贯注
. Despite its synergy,
it is still not worth taking!
鹰爪的全神贯注
when paired with
灵魂协调
and
神射手的专注
synergize really well. With the Focus gains of
百发百中
and the Focus reduction of Eagletaon's, it allows us to output a ton of abilities during
野性之魂
where we would otherwise be forced to
稳固射击
. Procs aside, we're able to fit in even more abilities inside of the 5% damage window that Wild Spirits provides.
Marksmanship Hunter Legendary Guide
Best Night Fae Marksmanship Hunter Soulbinds
Best Night Fae Marksmanship Hunter Max Renown 80 Soulbind
For most content, we will want to use Dreamweaver. He provides the best DPS provided that you can stand in the Field of Blossoms circle for at least the full duration of Wild Spirits. It also provides a Cheat Death in the form of Podtender.
Korayn has uses on certain fights where there are constant, fresh add spawns to proc First Strike.
The below Soulbind Calculator is valid starting at Renown 60. 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 Marksmanship Hunter Conduit Guide for more information on Conduits including Empowered Conduits.
Marksmanship Hunter Conduit Guide
As always, we will swap out Powerful Precision for Deadly Chain in Mythic+ scenarios.
Night Fae Marksmanship Hunter 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:
Marksmanship Hunter Rotation Guide
野性之魂
You want to use Double Tap alongside Wild Spirits every time, and you always want to spend the Double Tap on an Aimed Shot. Additionally, try to be as close to the pack as possible, as this will cause Wild Spirits to proc an additional time due to an old bug.
Keep Trueshot and Wild Spirits synced, although this should happen all by itself.
Night Fae Marksmanship Hunter Talent Builds
Your talent build does not change
at all
while picking this covenant. Since
野性之魂
and traits such as
繁华原野
increase our damage done while Wild Spirits is active, we want to make sure to use our major damaging abilities such as
二连发
within the window. Continue to follow the recommended Talents on the Talent page found in the link below.
Marksmanship Hunter Talent Guide
Night Fae Marksmanship Hunter Gearing Differences
There aren't really any gearing differences for Night Fae Hunters.
As always, it's recommended to sim yourself on
Raidbots
to find the most optimal build.
Night Fae Marksmanship Hunter Soulbinds Explained
Night Fae have access, across all classes and specs, to the same three Soulbinds:
Niya
,
Dreamweaver
, and
Korayn
. 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).
The tree progressively unlocks based on completion steps (such as finishing the campaign) and your Renown level with the Night Fae covenant. I've summarized the optimal traits for each Soulbind below, along with potential conduits to slot in.
Niya gives you 4 major DPS traits:
林地复兴
gives you a small amount of passive Mastery throughout the fight. Where it really shines though, is that by using
野性之魂
, you gain 16 stacks of the Mastery buff for a short period of time. It lasts the entirety of Wild Spirits. Considering we pair it with
百发百中
typically, this allows us to output quite a bit of burst every 2 minutes, especially in AoE situations. The other really cool thing about this trait is that it gives us a pretty hefty bonus to maximum health, which can be amazing depending on the circumstance.
尼娅的工具:毒药
applies a DoT to targets after interrupting them. Taking this trait is typically better as it's paired with a second potency conduit, assuming you're able to land some interrupts.
尼娅的工具:锉刀
deals a fair amount of passive damage to targets. If you've opted to take this trait over Niya's Tools: Poison, you will lose out on a second potency slot, unfortunately.
联结之心
simply increases the amount of Mastery gained from
林地复兴
depending on how many allies of different covenants the Redirected Anima heals.
Due to the strength of
尼娅的工具:锉刀
, we'll typically only have access to two potency conduits as Niya.
灵魂协调
should always be taken.
神射手的专注
should used for single target while
致命连锁
should be used in AoE situations. Initially, Niya will start out pretty strong, but, unlike many other soulbinds, after Renown 43, Niya doesn't gain another DPS trait until Renown 55. And even so,
联结之心
isn't an amazing gain compared to some other signature soulbind traits. It also loses value if you don't have one of every covenant in your group when
野性之魂
is used.
There are a few traits in the Niya tree which help us defensively and give a bit of additional movement speed via
不休不疲
and
快速巡逻
. In addition to two potency conduits, Niya gives us access to two Endurance conduits and a Finese conduit. This allows us to equip
猎手坚韧
and
射手优势
which helps a ton in the survivability department. Between
命运逆转
and
尼娅的工具:毒药
(if taken), we have a very high incentive to hog interrupts so be sure to interrupt as much as possible!
An example tree to follow on this Soulbind is as follows:
Dreamweaver gives you two potential DPS traits:
繁华原野
gives a large Haste buff whenever
野性之魂
is activated. For most classes this is a pretty solid trait, however, Marksmanship Hunters don't really like Haste very much so it's fairly underwhelming for us.
蝴蝶效应
provides a passive amount of Versatility to you and a few surrounding allies while within range of each other.
梦境探索者
increases damage ton to the target by 1%, stacking up to 3 times. Very nice trait that is a straight damage gain in single target.
Dreamweaver's second potency slot forces us to choose between
蝴蝶效应
and another potency conduit. In this case, we want to go for the second potency slot for overall DPS. That being said, Social Butterfly isn't too far behind and gives us access to 4 total endurance conduits (along with the Versatility provided by Social Butterfly). Despite the strength of
梦境探索者
, Dreamweaver just doesn't provide enough damage compared to Niya. Of course, we also don't obtain Dream Delver until Renown 54, so it'll be a while until we can use it.
What Dreamweaver lacks in damage, she gains in survival. Dreamweaver has a ton of survivability dispersed throughout her tree. She can potentially gives us access to 4 Endurance conduits. As a Hunter, this means we'll go for both
猎手坚韧
,
射手优势
, and most likely
春回大地
. Additionally, Dreamweaver gives other solid defensives.
灵茧守护者
is a free cheat death! Instead of taking damage that would otherwise kill you, instead, you are wrapped in a cocoon, healing you back to 30% health. This may only happen once every 10 min.
梦境初醒
provides an absorb shield equal to 30% of our health when we take damage below 80% health. This is an amazing trait is is better than the majority of our Endurance conduits.
An example tree to follow on this Soulbind is as follows:
Korayn gives you two DPS traits:
荒猎团战术
buffs our damaging abilities by 10% while targets are either above 75% health. It synergizes really well with Careful Aim as it deals bonus damage while targets are high health.
争先打击
gives us a 25% Critical Strike bonus for the first 5 seconds after damaging a new enemy. This works for
any
enemy, including new add spawns. First Strike is an amazing trait for AoE, but is subpar on sustained single target fights.
狂野狩猎策略
is somewhat of a reverse to Wild Hunt Tactics. After benefiting from Wild Hunt Tactics, you gain a buff that persists for 1 minute. If you then damage an enemy under 35% health, you gain 5% increased damage for 10 sec. As you might expect, 1 min isn't a very long time. Realistically, we're only going to be benefitting from this trait in AoE content.
Korayn only gives us an option to have two potency slots. His third potency slot forces us to forfeit
争先打击
. Which option we go for largely depends on the type of content you're doing. For raid, going for the third potency slot is typically better (outside of heavy AoE encounters). For Mythic+ however, First Strike is amazing considering our damage profile is very bursty and upfront.
Korayn gives us some pretty cool utility traits such as
荒猎号角
and
沃卡伊打磨技术
(this is actually really big for Marksmanship considering our Bow/Gun breaks ALL the time). Depending on which route you opt to go, Korayn potentially gives us two endurance conduit slots, in which case, we'll want to use
猎手坚韧
and
射手优势
. However, if you opt to go for the second potency slot, you still get a fairly strong defensive option.
勇面敌人
For Marksmanship Hunters, we'll have slightly less uptime compared to most other classes due to our long casts but its still a solid passive damage reduction trait.
An example tree to follow on this Soulbind is as follows:
Double Legendaries for $covenant Marksmanship Hunter
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 $covenant Marksmanship Hunter even more. You can learn more about it in our Legendary Guide.
