Mage Covenant Specific Legendaries in Patch 9.1
Kyrian:
Écho harmonique
- Damage dealt to enemies affected by
Étincelle radieuse
's vulnerability echo to 4 nearby enemies for 25% of the damage dealt.
Necrolord:
Profondeurs de la Mort
- Your
Boule de feu
,
Éclair de givre
, and
Déflagration des Arcanes
have a chance to grant
Portemort
for 8 sec. While in the form of a skeletal mage the spell damage granted is increased by 1% for each enemy hit by
Boule de feu
,
Éclair de givre
, and
Déflagration des Arcanes
.
Venthyr:
Délice coupable
- Consuming
Gel mental
, a
Trait de feu
charge,
Idées claires
reduces
Miroirs de tourment
cooldown by 3 sec. If
Miroirs de tourment
is dispelled the cooldown is reduced by 45 sec.
Arcane Mage Opinion & Feedback
Kyrian -
Écho harmonique
Of the three new legendaries that have currently been datamined, one immediately stands out: the Kyrian power,
Écho harmonique
, which makes 25% of the damage we deal to a target affected by
Étincelle radieuse
cleave onto four nearby enemies. Obviously, this isn't a single-target legendary, but it has huge potential in AoE and Mythic+ content, especially when combined with Forgelite Mikanikos' new trait,
Accélérateur d’anima jaillissant
, which deals AoE damage when we use
Étincelle radieuse
and
reduces Spark's cooldown. It looks a little weaker than
Harmonie arcanique
for Kyrian Arcane Mages for now, but time and tuning could change that.
Necrolord -
Profondeurs de la Mort
Profondeurs de la Mort
is the new Necrolord legendary, which is semi-okay but suffers from the same problem as
Irrégularité temporelle
: that is, it could proc at an inconvenient moment (i.e. you're about to move, you're low on mana, you have 0 stacks
Charge arcanique
) and the effect would be wasted. It also has an odd interaction with Emeni's
Montrer l’exemple
: if
Portemort
is already active, the proc will extend its duration by 8 seconds, but won't extend
Montrer l’exemple
. However, if the legendary effect triggers without
Portemort
being active, you (currently) gain 30 seconds of
Montrer l’exemple
as if you had used
Portemort
. This is probably unintended behaviour and will likely be fixed before 9.1 goes live. In the same vein, it's currently stacking the 1% damage increase for continually hitting the same target, which the wording would suggest is not the way it's intended to function.
Venthyr -
Délice coupable
The Venthyr legendary,
Délice coupable
, is
very
unlikely to enable an extra use of
Miroirs de tourment
between
Pouvoir des Arcanes
windows, so on early impressions is practically worthless as we always want to align those two spells, and never want to delay Arcane Power.
None of the new legendaries - at current tuning levels - look like they'll change our existing Covenant choices.

Fire Mage Opinion & Feedback
In patch 9.1 many new covenant-specific legendary items are being added to the game. The idea of tying covenant to legendaries isn’t something I’m particularly a fan of, but today we are going to go over scenarios where having one of the new legendaries would be valuable while comparing them against existing legendaries. So far we have information for Kyrian, Necrolord, and Venthyr.
Kyrian -
Écho harmonique
This legendary enables cleave for nearby targets during the
Étincelle radieuse
vulnerability, which lasts for 4 spells. Keep in mind that it only affects 4 targets for 25%. This means that your damage is effectively doubled for the four spells you cast after
Étincelle radieuse
so long as there are 4 targets. It's unlikely this legendary will get much use, especially since running it requires being Kyrian.
Ordre disciplinaire
is what Fire Mages run in cleave and I don't see this legendary increasing overall damage by enough to beat it.
Necrolord -
Profondeurs de la Mort
This legendary has two parts: First there is a 1.25 rppm chance to grant the
Portemort
buff for 8 seconds. Second, each hit from
Boule de feu
grants 1% spell damage with no cap. Because
Portemort
causes
Boule de feu
to cleave this legendary has potential to be very overpowered in cleave, where it is possible to reach >100 stacks and pop cooldowns as you reach the very end of your
Portemort
buff. Although this legendary requires going Necrolord, I believe if it goes live in its current state it might be well worth swapping. Definitely keep an eye on this one.
Venthyr -
Délice coupable
Understanding this legendary requires some quick math: if a
Trait de feu
charge reduces
Miroirs de tourment
cooldown by 3 seconds and on average you cast
Trait de feu
about 10 times a minute this means we end up with
Miroirs de tourment
coming in at around a one minute cooldown. Since this legendary only affects the cooldown of
Miroirs de tourment
, its strength depends entirely on how strong gaining 30 seconds of cooldown reduction on
Miroirs de tourment
really is. Although having cooldown reduction on
Miroirs de tourment
feels really good, it is very unlikely to beat out
Ordre disciplinaire
in any metric.

Fragments glaciaires
and
Vents givrants
are both already so strong in cleave.
Necrolord -

Éclair de givre
to cleave this legendary has potential to be very overpowered in cleave, where it is possible to reach >100 stacks and pop cooldowns as you reach the very end of your
Portemort
buff. As mentioned before, Frost has very strong cleave legendaries with
Fragments glaciaires
and
Vents givrants
but this legendary allows you to set up and funnel huge amounts of damage into a primary target. This legendary very well might make Necrolord the go-to covenant if it goes live the way it is now.
Venthyr -
Délice coupable
Gel mental
reduces
Miroirs de tourment
cooldown by 3 seconds but
Miroirs de tourment
is a bit random aside from the three guaranteed procs. Since this legendary only affects the cooldown of
Miroirs de tourment
, its strength depends entirely on how strong gaining cooldown reduction on
Miroirs de tourment
really is. I believe this legendary has potential to beat out
Glace glissante
in single target, but I doubt it will be competitive in cleave or AoE.
