Shadowlands covenants for resto druids and mythic raiding. I discuss each combat ability and offer some thoughts about which ones might be most useful for mythic raiding.
This video is not meant to tell you which covenant to choose; it offers some information based on my experiences with raid testing on beta and what I’m personally choosing for mythic raid progression.
Let me know in the comments which covenant you’re thinking of joining and which class you play!

Yes, basically NightFae ability makes you more prone to control the fighting damage, because of the laid down effect it has on our existing cooldowns, than a messy improvisation. Like you said flourish with it seams kite powerful and the fact that we can have an extra flourish mid Covenant CD, makes it super appealing. Plus tranq and tree of life, ofc.
Love your content, keep up the good work! Can't help but feel the Night Fae ability is easily the pick of the bunch for Resto
Another great video!👍
Another great video as always! TBH when I first saw the druids abilities I thought I was going to take Adaptive Swarm (another HoT for resto + also a DPS DoT) but when I saw Convoke being used (and Swarm being shit) I fell in love with the 2 minute cooldown of pure healing/DPS.
An additional thing that I’d argue makes Night Fae so strong for Resto is that you’re able to manipulate what abilities you’re using while channeling Convoke based on your shapeshift before channeling it, since it’s coded to prefer spells based on range/form.
Night Fae is strong in all forms of PvE content because you’re able to decide what type of cooldown it is at any given time, while the others see use for the other specs but aren’t as flexible for Resto specifically. You can make Night Fae whatever cooldown you want. Heart of the Wild+Cat form with Feral Affinity? Really, really high burst damage when the group doesn’t need lots of healing. Caster form? Another powerful healing cooldown when the group needs it the most with some great Flourish synergy.
Night Fae is just extremely versatile, and versatile healers are always going to be greatly appreciated in any raid group and in any M+ group.
@Layria what are your thoughts on Memory of the mother tree nerfed to 40%?
Night fae all the way. I was torn between disc priest, resto shaman, and resto druid. Druids strength with the night fae made my choice ultimately. I was run mythic 20-22 pre 9.0 and my guild cleared 11/12 mythic so I need a class that is strong in both but deep down the night fae call to me.
Nice video. Convoke is so nice because in M+ with Feral or Balance Affinity you can also use it to DPS, so for PvE it's pretty much BiS for Raids and Dungeons (maybe even BGs too). If you do a lot of Arenas For PvP, I'd say Adaptive Swarm is likely the play.
I can't really see Kyrian or Venthyr being tops or even competitive in any content, but that's okay especially with Kyrian being so good for so many Classes/Specs right now, getting Nighfae or Necrolord as tops for Druids is probably a good thing.
Awesome video as always !! Keep it up Layria <3
