Changes To Kyrian Restoration Druids in 9.2
Legendaries
Kyrian
You and your Kindred Spirit each gain a bonus secondary stat based on their Covenant. This bonus is halved for your Kindred Spirit, however both bonuses are doubled while the bond is Empowered.
Kyrian: Mastery increased by 150.210.
Night Fae: Haste increased by 8%.6%.
Venthyr: Critical Strike chance increased by 8%.6%.
Necrolord: Versatility increased by 8%.6%.
Kyrian Restoration Druid Covenant Abilities
Kyrian Druid Class Ability:
志趣相投
The Kyrian Class Ability for Druids of all specializations is
志趣相投
, a 1 minute cooldown that empowers both you and your bonded partner for 10s. The empowerment is determined by your role and your bonded partner's role. Because you're a healer, your partner will always have 30% of all healing you do replicated to them. Consider this aspect a bit of an on-use
圣光道标
. The interesting choice comes from choosing your bonding partner depending on if you want the additional self healing by bonding with a healer, the extra healing/damage/self-absorption shield by bonding with a damage dealer, or the extra defensive cooldown by bonding with a tank.
There are a lot of subtleties regarding the implementation of this spell, and caveats to note:
志趣相投
takes 2.5s to cast to bind to a new partner.
Empowering the bond is off the GCD making it very non-intrusive to utilize.
Bonding with a tank would be the obvious choice as you want the beacon healing you provide to be largely effective; however, the damage redirect may only be situationally useful for yourself.
Bonding with a DPS provides additional healing, damage, or a self-absorb shield as a reservoir based on the damage of the bonded DPS, which can be quite large especially when that DPS is in cooldowns or AoEing a large number of targets; however, the beacon healing is likely to be less effective as DPS generally take less damage than a tank. Notably, the reservoir built by the DPS can be consumed by either damage, healing, or taking damage meaning any semi-passive effects (
阳炎术
/
百花齐放
/
伊瑟拉之赐
) or incoming damage can consume the reservoir making it difficult to funnel all of it into one specific form.
Bonding with a healer is kind of the worst case scenario as they only offer self-healing which is only situationally useful and the beacon healing is likely to be less effective as they generally take less damage than a tank.
The problems with
志趣相投
for Restoration Druids is largely its variability and essentially being locked to a single bonded partner for the entire encounter. Can the beacon healing be effective every minute? Will your tank even be tanking every minute? Does the incoming raid damage align with the DPS's cooldowns or a massive AoE-fest? Yes, there will be situations where the stars align and you can check all of those boxes and
志趣相投
will be the strongest option for Restoration Druids; however, more often than not those things will not align and you'll be at the mercy of encounter timings and misaligned cooldowns. Consistency is key for a healer and this one lacks it in a lot of ways, but it can be overcome by working closely with your bonded partner, especially when they are a DPS.
Kyrian Conduit for
志趣相投
The
诚挚忠心
conduit for
志趣相投
offers cooldown reduction for the bond empowerment which at initial glance seems good. However, lining up the empowerment with a DPS's cooldowns is critical to building a large reservoir and for most damage dealers those are typically every 2 or 3 minutes on the dot. It may be more helpful to not use the conduit and line things up better with the DPS's cooldowns. Similarly for a tank, you'll want to generally save the cooldown for when the tank is taking significant damage while actually tanking, which may not be on cooldown. Again it's all about variability here and working with your partner will be the key to success with
志趣相投
.
Kyrian Druid Signature Ability:
召唤执事者
召唤执事者
offers some quality of life options like free talent changes or a vendor to sell things, but it essentially boils down to
静谧之瓶
, a glorified healthstone for all intents and purposes. The healing will be nice and contribute albeit minimally to throughput, and the bleed and disease dispel for Restoration Druids could come in handy as you can't normally dispel those; however, the circumstances where the phial will be invaluable will be few and far between. There was some concern about Kleia's Soulbind trait
晋升之瓶
making some of the bleeds in
纳斯利亚堡
irrelevant to handle but those are no longer classified as bleeds and therefore not removable.
Kyrian Exclusive Legendary for Restoration Druids
NEW Kyrian Legendary -
志趣亲和
You and your Kindred Spirit each gain a bonus secondary stat based on their Covenant. This bonus is ]halved for your Kindred Spirit, however both bonuses are doubled while the bond is Empowered.
Kyrian: Mastery increased by 210.
Night Fae: Critical Strike increased by 6%.
Venthyr: Haste increased by 6%.
Necrolord: Versatility increased by 6%.
A flat amount of bonus secondary stats to you and your bonded partner which doubles during bond empowerment. Not terribly exciting but a very strong showing nonetheless. Combine this with the cooldown reduction conduit
诚挚忠心
and Mikanikos's new trait
溢流心能加速器
and you'll be able to empower quite frequently for even more throughput. Unfortunately, this still requires you to play Kyrian which has a lot of alignment issues with
志趣相投
, but if you're already playing it then this is the legendary for you.
Other Legendary Interactions for Kyrian Restoration Druids
There are currently no other Legendaries that interact with or modify
志趣相投
or
召唤执事者
in any meaningful way. Perhaps something will be added in the future.
Restoration Druid Legendary Guide
Best Kyrian Restoration Druid Soulbinds
Best Kyrian Restoration Druid Max Renown 80 Soulbind
Mikanikos remains the strongest soulbind at all levels of renown.
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 Restoration Druid Conduit Guide for more information on Conduits including Empowered Conduits.
Restoration Druid Conduit Guide
Restoration Druid's choice of soulbind for Kyrian at Renown 80 is Mikanikos.
溢流心能加速器
grants additional cooldown recovery for
志趣相投
and getting as many uses will be key to optimizing Kyrian.
Kyrian Restoration Druid 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:
Restoration Druid Rotation Guide
志趣相投
志趣相投
should ideally be used nearly on cooldown as a response to significant incoming damage to not only quickly heal up your bonded partner but also build and utilize the reservoir of healing that your partner will generate. You may want to hold
志趣相投
's cooldown for up to about 15s to better coordinate with incoming damage event or your partner's DPS cooldowns. Teamwork and communication will be key here to maximize the benefits.
召唤执事者
and
静谧之瓶
This ability is fairly straightforward to use. Use it if you need to survive or if you have a bleed or disease you want to remove. Even if you are not in danger of dying, you can use this ability to reduce the overall healing requirement of an encounter. Remember that this heal is off the GCD, so don't let this go to waste.
Kyrian Restoration Druid Talent Builds
Your talent build does not change
at all
as a Kyrian Restoration Druid. There is no special interaction with our kit and no reason to deviate from the standard talent builds.
Restoration Druid Talent Guide
Kyrian Restoration Druid Gearing Differences
Prioritizing higher item level pieces will still be the proper way to gear as a Kyrian Restoration Druid. Secondary stats will still follow the more balanced approach to gearing when considering similar item level pieces.
Kyrian Restoration Druid Soulbinds Explained
Kyrians have access, across all classes and specs, to the same three Soulbinds:
Pelagos
,
Kleia
and
Forgelite Prime Mikanikos
. 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).
This tree progressively unlocks based on completion steps (such as finishing the campaign) and your renown level with the Kyrian Covenant.
We've summarized the optimal traits for each Soulbind along with potential conduits to slot in below. Do bear in mind that finesse conduit choice is largely personal preference. For more information on Conduits see our Restoration Druid Conduit Guide.
Pelagos grants you a few impactful traits:
战斗冥想
provides a large amount of mastery when using
志趣相投
by empowering the bond, along with extra spheres you can walk through to extend the effect. As a Restoration Druid we have pretty good mobility so collecting the spheres shouldn't be too difficult.
放下过去
has been nerfed to only provide damage reduction instead of throughput, making it fairly lackluster.
强强联手
provides additional mastery just for being within 3 yards of an ally. It's a pretty tight area, but if you can make it work then it'll be worth it.
The new 9.1 capstone trait,
崭新决心
, is a decent throughput increase spawning roughly every 1.5 mins. The doubt can be difficult to spot, especially during more complicated encounters.
In addition to this, Pelagos modifies your
静谧之瓶
in one of two possible ways:
耐心之瓶
greatly increases the amount of health provided by
静谧之瓶
, but turns it into a HoT over 10s as opposed to an instant on-use. This HoT does not contribute to
精通:相生
集中咒语
provides cooldown reduction on
静谧之瓶
whenever you defeat an enemy. Healing any ally that damages these enemies does count as you defeating an enemy, so no damage from you is required.
I generally recommend the following Soulbind tree and conduit placement for Pelagos:
Kleia's Soulbind does offer some traits with more of a healing focus or to aid your allies:
Though not a direct increase to our healing spells,
骁勇打击
provides a way to quickly heal a player
in your party
by 20% by utilizing your critical strikes including ticks from your HoT. With the recent 1 minute cooldown and 20 stack cap, this trait has been severely nerfed, likely contributing only about 1% of your total throughput.
师徒一心
grants your allies 5% max health which while not huge is definitely helpful for survivability. It also has the added side-effect of buffing
骁勇打击
.
While not particularly helpful in raid as you'll constantly be in combat,
净化仪式
is a nice small survivability increase in Mythic+ as you tend to drop combat between packs of enemies.
If you can sneak your way into melee or the ranged are fairly clumped then
勇气外露
is a powerful throughput increase via increased critical strike chance that is worth giving up the second potency conduit slot.
共鸣赞誉
can provide a lot of additional healing but only to already healthy targets so the life saving potential isn't high on this one. It's not bad and will compete against the 2nd potency slot if you can't make good use out of
勇气外露
照亮道路
, the capstone trait of 9.1, provides a significant amount of crit to your as well as a crit proc to your and your ally healed by
骁勇打击
. Exceptional throughput.
In addition to this Kleia modifies your
静谧之瓶
:
Through
晋升之瓶
, she modifies
静谧之瓶
to provide full immunity to debuffs for 8 seconds. This can be situationally
amazing
to cheese mechanics. However, most egregious cases of this traits use, such as removing many bleeds in
纳斯利亚堡
, are no longer possible.
Forgelite Prime Mikanikos has received some love in 9.1 including some buffs to Bron. The most noteworthy traits he has available to him are:
行动的召唤:布隆
summons an NPC that does damage and healing and you'll be summoning him significantly more often in 9.1.
源生重槌
is potentially good in mythic+, but in any encounter where you either aren't damaging, or only have one target available it's not a good option.
灵魂光谱仪
provide a single-target healing increase to an ally. Unfortunately, it's a bit uncontrollable as we're likely to heal multiple targets at once with our HoTs, but it's a nice increase nonetheless.
溢流心能加速器
provide significant cooldown reduction for
志趣相投
when you have multiple enemies in range. Combine this with the
诚挚忠心
conduit and you can have sub-30s
志趣相投
empowerments. Exceptional especially when used in conjunction with
志趣亲和
, for even more secondary stats for you and partner. This combination really shines in Mythic+ where you'll typically have more than one enemy for additional cooldown recovery.
In addition to this Forgelite Prime Mikanikos modifies your
静谧之瓶
:
掌炉大师的滤网
causes you to automatically consume a charge of
静谧之瓶
to heal yourself. While nice for automation purposes, this trigger can actually leave you in hot water if it was automatically used when you weren't in danger of dying but is now on cooldown when you desperately need the healing.
We've still included an example tree below:
Double Legendaries for Kyrian Restoration Druid
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 Kyrian Restoration Druid even more. You can learn more about it in our Legendary Guide.

It looks like the Night Fae and Venthyr buffs from Kyrian leggo are backwards. Should be 8% Haste for NF and 8% Crit for Venthyr!
