About the Author
Hello! I am
Ellipsis
, moderator for WarCraftPriests, the Priest Discord. I work on Shadow Priest theorycraft alongside the Shadow Team, you can check out our work
here!
I am often active on the WarCraftPriests discord server and free to answer any questions or queries related to Shadow Priest or any content in any of my guides. I raid in The Misty Moon on EU Tarren-Mill (Formerly The Misty Moon Massive) and have raided between top 50 and 300 since Legion but I've been playing Shadow Priest in some capacity for going on 17 years. Outside of WoW, I spend most of my time listening to music, especially seeking out interesting new things I haven't heard before!

Necrolord Shadow Priest Covenant Abilities
Necrolord Priest Class Ability:
邪恶新星
The Necrolord Class Ability for Priests of all specializations is
邪恶新星
: a 1m cooldown that causes a bolt to fly towards the target. When it hits, it applies the
邪恶灌注
debuff to all targets within 15 yards of the impact area.
There are a couple subtleties regarding the implementation of this spell, and caveats to note:
邪恶新星
is cast at range.
邪恶新星
will go to the area the target was at on cast, and will not follow them.
邪恶新星
deals no damage, but applies
邪恶灌注
to enemies in the area, and will heal allies in the area. The cap for this appears to be 20 allies, but further testing is required.
邪恶灌注
uses square root scaling to deal damage/heal, so it will do more per target with less targets.
You'll want to use
邪恶新星
on mobs that will live the full duration of
邪恶灌注
, otherwise you'll waste it's value. With it's short cooldown, you shouldn't be super worried about it, and in mid to high tier keys you'll have it up nearly every pack.
Necrolord Conduit for
邪恶新星
Necrolords have the option to empower
邪恶灌注
with the conduit
溃烂灌注
. However, this conduit isn't strong enough to compete with any of Shadow's other DPS conduits in most situations. It can however be used for maximum AoE damage in Mythic+ when enemies live long enough for the DoT from Nova to get value.
Shadow Priest Conduit Guide
Necrolord Priest Signature Ability:
血肉铸造
血肉铸造
looks promising; however, in practice it's quite lacklustre. It's best used after you've killed a pack to give you an extra health buffer for the next pack. Outside of that, it requires you to stand still for the channelled duration of 3 seconds, and shouldn't be used in combat unless absolutely necessary. There is some use to the 20% damage reduction granted whilst channelling to ability, however, which could make it good for reducing the damage of predictable incoming damage.
Necrolord Exclusive Legendary for Shadow Priests
NEW Necrolord Legendary
苍白指令
: Casting
邪恶灌注
summons a Rattling Mage that gains 2% additional damage and healing each time an enemy affected by Unholy Transfusion is damaged by an ally, up to 100%.
The Rattling Mage serves you for 20 sec, blasting your target for (40% of Spell power) Shadow damage..
This is an extremely potent legendary for Single Target, as it scales with our secondary stats and provides a huge amount of burst damage. We already want to cast
邪恶新星
on cooldown, and that does not change. The legendary pushes us towards trying to play around 1 and 2 minute burns, where we align as many cooldowns as possible. The problem with this legendary is the damage comes from a pet, which means we're at the mercy of Blizzard's AI whenever there might be pathing or target swapping issues.
Other Legendary Interactions for Necrolord Shadow Priests
No other legendary modifies either of the Necrolord abilities.
Best Necrolord Shadow Priest Soulbinds
Best Necrolord Shadow Priest Max Renown 80 Soulbind
Shadow's best Necrolord soulbind at 80 Renown will be Heirmir for Mythic+, and Marileth for Raiding. Heirmir will begin to overtake Emeni once you have 48 Renown, and access to her trait
切肉者之眼
, while Marileth will require his full soulbind to be unlocked. Heirmir might also see some raid use, depending on the nature of the encounter.
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 Shadow Priest Conduit Guide for more information on Conduits including Empowered Conduits.

Necrolord Shadow Priest Covenant Rotation Changes
To see how this all fits 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:
Shadow Priest Rotation Guide
邪恶新星
Unholy Nova should ideally be used on cooldown in situations where the target you cast it on will not move and the mobs around the target will not die before
邪恶灌注
has finished dealing its damage.
血肉铸造
You will need to maintain your
血肉铸造
whilst using the Marileth soulbind, due to
不稳定的溶液
Fleshcraft should
not
be channeled in the following circumstances:
You are able to do anything else to an enemy and are not in any danger.
You are in combat and are not in any danger.
Fleshcraft may save your life in some rare situations, so while casting it is a clear dps loss, it may also be necessary.
Necrolord Shadow Priest Talent Builds
Talents do not impact this Covenant at all. It does not interact with any of our talents and deviating from the standard choice talents you normally use won't have an impact here.
Your talent build does not change
at all
while picking this Covenant. There is no interaction with our kit, no change to anything we do, and no reason to deviate from the standard build.

Shadow Priest Stats Guide
Generally you'll want to follow regular stat priorities when using this Covenant. There aren't really any specific stats that improve this Covenant.
Necrolord Shadow Priest Soulbinds Explained
Across all classes and specs, Necrolords have access to the same three soulbinds:
Plague Deviser Marileth
,
Emeni
and
Bonesmith Heirmir
. 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 Necrolord Covenant.
We've summarized the optimal traits for each soulbind below, along with potential conduits to slot in.
Plague Deviser Marileth grants you four important traits:
不稳定的溶液
empowers your
血肉铸造
by granting an additional buff based on the type of corpse you used it near: 120 mastery for humanoids, 2% primary stats for beasts, 5% stamina for demons, and a 5% heal for undead. As of 9.0.5, these buffs are passively granted by running by corpses with the fleshcraft buff active, and no longer require you to repeatedly channel to the spell.
With
乌兹的和谐覆层
, every 30s, you have the option to gain a 15% absorb shield.
The first capstone trait,
终极形态
, causes you to gain 8% max HP in total over the duration of the channel. If you manage to finish the channel, you gain CC immunity for 4 seconds, and regenerate another 8% max HP over 4 seconds.
The Second capstone trait
凯文的小软泥怪
summons a large oozeling who will fight alongside you, as well as grant allies an absorb shield.
These benefits strongly incentivize the use of
血肉铸造
after defeating a pack, and generally, as much as possible out of combat. The CC immunity is largely a dud, as very few abilities will CC you outside of combat. The rest is a decent amount of benefit assuming you manage to spend 4 seconds doing nothing every 2 minutes.
An example tree to follow on this soulbind is as follows:
If using this soulbind for Mythic +, you'll make up the loss of the early Potency conduit with
烦烦的先发制人
as long as you are continually using Fleshcraft.
Emeni provides a couple of interesting nodes:
身先士卒
, the initial trait in the tree, functions as group utility. Your party members are granted them 2% primary stat, and you gain up to 15% primary stat yourself.
艾米妮的优美之皮
allows you to get some extra health, but we only want this for access to the Potency conduit.
艾米妮的可行动躯体
allows you to cast
血肉铸造
while moving, This isn't worth taking in most situations as we lose a Potency conduit.
啮咬咀嚼者
provides stacking haste when defeating mobs. This comes at a cost of an extra Potency conduit and is fairly weak in comparison.
脓疮迸裂
provides a decent amount of aoe burst damage when using the necrolord signature ability, but does require you to stand in melee range
An example tree can be seen below. As usual, we're grabbing as many Potency conduits as possible as that's where we'll get the most bang for our buck.
Picking this soulbind for early Nathria nets you one Potency conduit.
Picking Bonesmith Heirmir grants access to the following notable traits:
锯齿护肩
deals a relatively large amount of shadow damage over time to attackers. However, it has a 1s ICD and overwrites itself, reducing its value by quite a bit. Additionally, choosing it sacrifices a Potency slot, which isn't a good trade-off.
海尔米尔的军械库:髓噬宝石
grants you additional crit percentage every minute. This does come at the cost of a potency conduit, and only really shines in Mythic+.
切肉者之眼
provides a powerful mastery buff, which seems perfectly suited for Mythic+ and other situations with a constant stream of fresh targets. This is especially strong given it does not require you to give up a potency slot.
记忆装备
, Heirmir's new capstone trait empowers Shadow's potent execute further, and makes her a very strong PvE soulbind at maximum renown.
Double Legendaries for Necrolord Shadow Priest
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 Necrolord Shadow Priest even more. You can learn more about it in our Legendary Guide.
