Night Fae Windwalker Monk Covenant Abilities
Night Fae Windwalker Monk Class Ability
The Night Fae Class Ability for Monks of all specializations is
. This gives you an additional "rotational" button to use as close to on cooldown as you can. It lays a decorative line on the ground that deals two hits of damage to any enemy caught in its path. It also has a chance to reset when you cause damage with other abilities, so it is one that you'll want to use as often as possible to maximize the potential for resets.
The strength of this ability comes in the frequent pressure that it puts into multiple targets. While it may not be automatic that it hits each target, it has a very high damage ceiling.
Night Fae Conduit for
The
conduit for
saw a 100% buff in 9.1.5, making it a very strong option for those who choose to play Night Fae
Windwalker Monk Conduit Guide
Night Fae Windwalker Monk Signature Ability
The Night Fae Signature Ability for Monks of all specializations is
. This is another mobility cooldown that will instantly blink you forward 15 yards and also grants a 50% movement increase for 15 seconds. Monks have a large number of mobility spells and cooldowns. Having another blink is nice, but there isn’t a huge benefit for monks on this one. If you do like to potentially roleplay as a spectral fox, you now have a pathway to live out that fantasy in WoW.
Night Fae Exclusive Legendary for Windwalker Monk
The Night Fae exclusive legendary for Monks is
. This is a massive increase to the damage that can be done by Night Fae Windwalkers and is the only legendary that is strong enough to unequivocally beat
. Doubling the frequency of resets is a nice bonus to the flow of the spec, but the increased damage dealt to targets hit for 10 seconds is an enormous increase in damage potential.
If you are a Night Fae then you should use this for all situations.
With the addition of
in 9.2, you can, and should use
in the Belt slot with
in the Helm or Cloak slot, if you need the Helm slot for the Tier bonus.
Other Legendary Interactions for Night Fae Windwalker Monk
There is no current known special interaction between any Legendaries and Night Fae.

Best Night Fae Windwaklker Monk Renown 80 Soulbind
At 80 Renown, Niya is still ahead of the others, so you'll likely be using her as your Soulbind so it will likely look like below. Korayn can be a viable alternative, especially in situations with multiple small targets, but Niya is the safe choice for all situations.

Night Fae Windwalker Monk Soulbinds Explained
Across all classes and specs, Night Fae have access to the same three soulbinds:
Niya
,
Dreamweaver
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.
I have summarized the Soulbinds below, offering example paths through the trees, and highlighting any key abilities.
Niya pulls ahead of the other soulbinds due to her initial ability that increases your Mastery, and even farther ahead. If you're going to focus a little bit more on Mythic+ and multi-target encounters, then you'll look to grab up
to further increase your most frequently used AOE ability followed by
to increase Xuen's power,
. Niya's middle capstone ability can provide a large amount of DPS if you're interrupting frequently, but her left-most capstone
is the true star of the final row, and worth missing out on a second Potency conduit.
- With the Class Ability benefiting from Mastery, more procs that increase our Mastery just means more damage for what we'll already be doing.
Niya provides access to one of each slot, a choice between one Potency and one Endurance conduit, a choice between all three slots, and a choice between an Endurance and a Finesse slot.
- Increases your DPS by a small amount by increasing the Mastery benefit of
.
You'll very likely take the 2nd Endurance conduit to get access to
due to its strength.
If you're going to choose Niya, this is what an "ideal" Conduit path could look like:
Even though Dreamweaver is similar to Pelagos in that you can get both Potency conduits AND a DPS increasing capstone, the initial ability does not provide any DPS increase and the capstone provides Haste, which is rarely necessary for Windwalkers. Dreamweaver may become the dominant Conduit once you're able to fill up the tree, depending on how frequently you'll be able to utilize the interrupt damage from Niya.
- This is essentially a Cheat Death or Cauterize with a little bit more of a drawback. Keeping yourself alive when you otherwise would have died is always a powerful tool to have.
Dreamweaver provides access to two Potency Conduits, one Endurance Conduit, two choices of an Endurance or Finesse Conduit, and a choice between one of each type.
- You're already going to try to stay on the Faelines for the resets, so additional Haste is just a benefit for what you'd be doing anyway.
- 3% more damage to a target as long as you keep damaging them is a nice bonus to have. There are very few times where a Windwalker has gaps of 4 seconds between abilities, so this should be up almost all the time as long as mechanics allow it.
If you're going to choose Dreamweaver, this is what an "ideal" Conduit path could look like:
Korayn is the Soulbind with a focus on the initial damage you do to a target.
- This will be a much stronger bonus on bosses where the 100%-75% window lasts much longer.
Korayn provides access to one of each slot, a choice between one Potency and one Endurance conduit, a choice between all three slots, and a choice between an Endurance and a Finesse slot.
You'll very likely take the last Endurance Conduit slot for access to
, which may be useful in situations where you are frequently attacking new targets that aren't attacking you, which is a lot of situations.
- This is a nice boost to "execute" damage as long as you can get there within 1 minute of triggering
. There are some situations where this will be nearly automatic to keep up and other times where it will be impossible make use out of it.
Double Legendaries for Night Fae Windwalker Monk
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 Windwalker Monk even more. You can learn more about it in our Legendary Guide.

I don't understand... the OP talks about getting conduits for Niya that they don't even recommend in the build...

Inner fury(potency conduit) in combination with Coordinated offensive(potency conduit) is way better than Fortifying ingredients(endurance conduit).Fists of fury are our best damage dealer and when used with Earth,wind,fire,burst is unbelievable.
Just check any m+ or raid battle log.
So,this guide is dissed.
