Earlier this month, Double Legendary testing started on the PTR with the addition of the
团结的回忆
pattern, allowing players to wear both a normal legendary and your covenant-specific legendary at the same time. Our Warlock Guide Writers have theorycrafted a first look at the Double Legendary combinations you're likely to equip in both
初诞者圣墓
and Mythic+ in Patch 9.2 - Eternity's End.
The timeline and acquisition of Double Legendaries has changed on the 9.2 Eternity's End PTR. Check out our post below to learn how and when you'll be able equip two legendaries.
Double Legendary Acquisition in Patch 9.2

, our Affliction Warlock guide writer, has given their extensive thoughts on the Double Legendary combinations for Affliction Warlocks in Patch 9.2!
As a Preface to this baseline guide - I want to note that covenant specific legendaries for warlocks are... bad. Like 2% damage gain at the top end, to a dps loss compared to the best covenant at the low end bad. So unless there are significant buffs to warlock covenant legendaries in the future, you're very likely going to be playing a covenant based off of their soulbind toolkit rather than what the legendary you're equipping gives you. That being said, let's take a look at the legendaries.
Best Affliction Warlock Double Legendaries for Sepulcher of the First Ones
Night Fae:
灵魂衰败之囊
&
灾难狂怒
Decaying Soul Satchel is currently the strongest of any of the covenant legendary options. It's seen use in the MDI, is incredibly powerful in mythic+ with the popular
腐蚀播种
build, and is generally a pretty good legendary. On single target, it only comes out to a 2% damage increase over a gearset that just isn't using a legendary in place of it, which really isn't great, but also you have to factor in that this scales with how many targets your
灵魂腐化
hits. On 2+ targets, this actually becomes pretty good as far as warlock legendaries go. Malefic Wrath is just a defacto best warlock legendary for anything single target, being the only legendary we have that gives over 10% damage, and honestly probably on two targets as well. With the new set bonus it'll be increasingly easy to not only keep the malefic wrath buff up, but also have shards banked for your burst windows.
Necrolord:
灭魂碎片
&
灾难狂怒
Necrolord is the only covenant I'd only give a second thought to for potentially playing over night fae in progression. The single target damage gained from the soulbind traits has a very small edge over the night fae offerings, although the legendary that necrolord has is slightly worse, with none of the multi-target scaling that decaying soul satchel has to offer. That being said, necrolord does offer a very strong defensive tool in
血肉铸造
as a replacement for
灵魂变形
, and something very interesting that necrolord offers is relatively strong execute burst. Remember that
屠戮箭
makes your next 3
暗影箭
or 1
吸取灵魂
cast do a ton of extra damage - the necrolord legendary doubles down on that, giving those same casts a ton of crit chance and crit damage. If there's ever an execute phase where the fight lasts just over a 1 minute interval, necrolord affliction could unironically be a play.

Night Fae:
灵魂衰败之囊
&
吞噬之怒
Yeah.
吞噬之怒
. Let me explain. The new mythic+ affix, Encrypted, spawns 3 extremely low hp mobs (orbs) with every boss, and a ton of small packs. This means for a ton of extra time in the dungeon, you'll have rolling wrath of consumption stacks. Not to mention also that when the 3 orbs die, they also spawn a miniboss that can easily be cleaved down in 30 seconds or so to yet again extend your buff window. I'm not sure if affliction will find its place in the meta this season, but the possibilities seem pretty good. Affliction is already a pumper on AoE like mentioned above with the
灵魂衰败之囊
+
腐蚀播种
burst damage, but if wrath of consumption can be stacked and kept up throughout the dungeon, affliction might not be such a setback on single target as it currently is. Time will tell.

Best Demonology Warlock Double Legendaries for Sepulcher of the First Ones
Covenant:
灵魂衰败之囊
&
威尔弗雷德的超级召唤魔印
威尔弗雷德的超级召唤魔印
is just miles ahead of any other legendary available to Demonology due to the strength of
召唤恶魔暴君
and that the majority of our damage profile is centered around having this hard hitting cooldown available to us.
灵魂衰败之囊
even in a pure single target situation provides some benefit to our Demonic Tyrant and if
灵魂腐化
hits any additional targets during the fight you are very very happy.
The only other legendary that is usable (but still 4% or more behind) in single target is
冷酷审讯官的恐惧召唤
which does close the gap a little bit due to us having an extra Dreadstalker but a 4% difference between these options is by far enough to be very disinterested in using it.
Covenant:
灭魂碎片
&
威尔弗雷德的超级召唤魔印
If you have chosen to play Necrolord the same differences apply between the two best legendaries;
威尔弗雷德的超级召唤魔印
and 3%+ behind
冷酷审讯官的恐惧召唤
. Even when compared to the best setup for Night Fae it is within 1% damage so still certainly playable in most single target situations. The use of
灭魂碎片
does have a small impact in talent choices where you would want to play
邪恶之喉
over
召唤邪犬
but again the difference is minimal (within 1% of each other).
The other two covenants, Venthyr and Kyrian are, quite simply, just not worth exploring at this time even when using two legendaries.

Covenant:

Covenant:

&
冷酷审讯官的恐惧召唤
When you start adding in the additional Dreadstalker we get from our two-piece tier bonus you start to really see the added benefit of buffing each cast of them from
冷酷审讯官的恐惧召唤
. The extra Dreadstalker + hitting multiple enemies with
灵魂腐化
paired with the damage bonus from Grim Inquisitor's adds up quickly and is definitely the strongest option for Fortified weeks of Mythic+ where you are spending the bigger part of time on trash. You do lose some power against bosses with this setup but your overall should be considerably higher.
Of course playing with
威尔弗雷德的超级召唤魔印
is also an option especially on Tyrannical weeks where you will want to have the big power gain against bosses. There are also definitely some enemies even on Fortified weeks that having your Tyrant available more often is a big benefit as well so the choice will predominately come down to your preference and group composition.

Best Destruction Warlock Double Legendaries for Sepulcher of the First Ones
Looking at the four covenants and their respective legendaries going into patch 9.2 and Sepulcher of the First ones, as a Destruction Warlock there mainly two viable options.
Night Fae:
灵魂衰败之囊
&
阿兹亚基的燃烬
The set bonus for Destruction Warlock largely revolves around generating and spending as many shards as you can, making extra shard generation a viable source for extra damage output. The legendary effect from
灵魂衰败之囊
is unlikely to change much about this, as the uptime on the effect is so small. The strength of this legendary lies in cleave, where you're able to apply
灵魂腐化
to multiple enemies, stacking up the hast and crit buff, and then dealing as much damage as you can in those 8 seconds. Ideally, this means either a big
大灾变
, or a well prepared
浩劫
with multiple casts of
混乱之箭
. Alternatively, this can mean a strong few casts of
火焰之雨
.
This is not the most exciting legendary combination, as there's really no big interaction going on. This setup is basically empowering the strength of your character a few percent, but is very limited by the type of encounter you're facing, and how many stacks of
灵魂衰败之囊
you're able to generate. That being said, Night Fae is really strong as a covenant in raids, due to its soulbind trees, but also the signature ability
灵魂变形
which can be extremely useful. So it's likely we will still see Night Fae as a strong contender when choosing your covenant as a Destruction Warlock in Sepulcher of the First Ones.
Necrolord:
灭魂碎片
&
阿兹亚基的燃烬
As mentioned above in the Night Fae section, this tiers set bonus revolves around generating and spending as many shards as you can, and again there is not really any exciting interaction with the Necrolord legendary. The Necrolord legendary however, has proven to be very powerful on its own when it comes to damage numbers. In its nature, the Necrolord Warlock revolves around execute damage, and with an increasingly scaling damage % against lower health enemies, this legendary only makes this more true. The bonus from
灭魂碎片
is just an extra buff to the
屠戮箭
buffed
烧尽
casts. The strength in this bonus is both on single, and on two targets where you're able to utilize
浩劫
well.
Best Destruction Warlock Double Legendaries for Mythic+
Night Fae:
灵魂衰败之囊
&
阿兹亚基的燃烬
/
威尔弗雷德的超级召唤魔印
The legendary bonus from
灵魂衰败之囊
is noticeably more exciting on Mythic+, as you will very likely be able to consistently get more value from it. You're able to line up your
大灾变
burst onto a pack of mobs with multiple stacks of
灵魂衰败之囊
, and then following it up with either
火焰之雨
or
混乱之箭
casts. Night Fae is, and will likely always be the strongest covenant for Mythic+ in the first place, as the soulbind traits you get here are just way too good to pass up:
争先打击
. This also plays very well with the rotation of opening on a pack with
灵魂腐化
->
大灾变
->
火焰之雨
/
混乱之箭
. This is all on a relatively short cooldown as well, meaning you're likely to have it on many packs throughout the entire dungeon.
I have chosen to put two legendaries under the same bulletpoint in this section, and that's because your choice of legendary when playing a Destruction Warlock in Mythic+ will largely depend on the player. Some players and groups are able to get very big value out of
威尔弗雷德的超级召唤魔印
, but if you're not doing a very organized run, you're likely better off playing
阿兹亚基的燃烬
. The interactions with
灵魂衰败之囊
are very minor and don't matter enough to make separate descriptive sections.
