About the Author
I'm
Azortharion
, hailing from the cold north of Denmark. I have been theorycrafting, writing guides, and
streaming
for Hunters since 2014, as well as playing the game on a high level, with hundreds of rank 1 parses and dozens of World #1 Mythic+ runs on all 3 Hunter specs over the game's history. I also founded and run
Trueshot Lodge
, the official
Discord
for the Hunter Community, where I always solicit and address feedback, suggestions, and comments for this guide. Most importantly, I wrote the Wowhead Marksmanship Hunter Guide that you are reading now! You can also find me on my
Personal Hunter Discord Server
, where I offer more direct coaching and advice to thousands of Hunters. You may also find me on

Kyrian Hunter Covenant Abilities
Kyrian Hunter Class Ability:
共鸣箭
Resonating Arrow is a 1-minute cooldown that places a large (and very bright) area of effect at a targeted location. While enemies remain in the area, you gain 30% Critical Strike against them and it causes your abilities to ignore line of sight. If enemies leave the area before it naturally expires, your abilities are able to continue to benefit from the Critical Strike Bonus for 4 additional seconds.
Kyrian currently offers Marksmanship the highest DPS for Mythic+, while being competitive on single-target The nature of Resonating Arrow pairs well with Marksmanship's burst damage via abilities such as
二连发
and
乱射
. One of Marksmanship Hunter's best stats is Critical Strike, so 30% additional Critical Strike on a 1-minute cooldown is very welcome and synergizes well with our toolkit. Additionally, the fact that Resonating Arrow is on a minute cooldown makes it highly flexible and usable for different key points throughout encounters or dungeons. Its cooldown is reduced further by our Soulbind Ability,
溢流心能加速器
.
In PvE, there are very few uses for the line of sight portion of Resonating Arrow. It is very useful in PvP however, allowing you to attack around pillars and walls.
Kyrian Conduit for
共鸣箭
Kyrian's covenant specific conduit,
衰竭印记
, simply increases damage done to all enemies affected by Resonating Arrow. Enfeebled Mark's bonus damage persists during the 4 additional seconds when enemies are moved outside the zone as well.
Marksmanship Hunter Conduit Guide
Kyrian Hunter Signature Ability:
召唤执事者
Kyrian gives us access to
召唤执事者
. When summoned, this handy Swolekin gives us access to
静谧之瓶
. Phial of Serenity is essentially a better Health Potion that restores health as well as cures diseases, poisons, curses, and most bleeds. It doesn't work on every mechanic, but it works for the majority of ailments we may encounter. It's a highly useful defensive ability.
Your lovely Swolekin also does a couple of other things when you summon him. You can ask to sell items to him, change your talents, say kind things to your friends, or even get him to say sweet things! All three Soulbinds modify your Phial of Serenity in some way; we will get into that later.
Kyrian Exclusive Legendary for Marksmanship Hunters
NEW Kyrian Legendary
灵魂追踪者之契
:
共鸣箭
provides you and other party members 10% Critical Strike for the duration of Resonating Arrow.
The Kyrian exclusive legendary is
灵魂追踪者之契
. Pact of the Soulstalkers gives us access to a raid buff that allows ourselves and other party members to gain 10% Critical Strike every time our
共鸣箭
is used. The 10% Critical Strike gain is additive to the 30% Critical Strike buff we apply to enemies.
When taking its party buff into account, it is just a decent Legendary. It will not typically guide your decision-making, and you should not play around it to buff others, as it is not powerful enough to warrant this.

Best Kyrian Marksmanship Hunter Soulbinds
Best Kyrian Marksmanship Hunter Max Renown 80 Soulbind
Forgelite Prime Mikanikos is our preferred option in basically all scenarios for Kyrian.
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 Marksmanship Hunter Conduit Guide for more information on Conduits including Empowered Conduits.

Kyrian Marksmanship Hunter 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:
Marksmanship Hunter Rotation Guide
共鸣箭
There are a few rotational changes to consider when playing Kyrian.
Syncing Cooldowns
- You should be saving
乱射
for your Resonating Arrow at all times. You should also never use
百发百中
outside of Resonating Arrow, and you should save Rapid Fire for up to 10 seconds before Resonating Arrow. Double Tap and Wailing Arrow (from Rae'shalare) should also be saved for up to 10 seconds before Resonating Arrow.
Refresh
稳固集中
- If you're running Steady Focus, be sure to refresh it prior to casting Resonating Arrow to avoid the buff falling off during it.
Kyrian Marksmanship Hunter Talent Builds
Your talent build does not change
at all
while picking this covenant. The only interactions that exist with our toolkit (
二连发
and
乱射
), which are chosen regardless. Continue to follow the recommended Talents on the Talent page found in the link below.
Note:
共鸣箭
does make
乱射
better due to their synergy, however, it doesn't change the talent builds we would normally take.
Marksmanship Hunter Talent Guide
Kyrian Marksmanship Hunter Gearing Differences
There are two key gearing differences when running Kyrian. Generally, Critical Strike and Mastery are Marksmanship's most coveted stats. However, since
共鸣箭
gives us so much Critical Strike, Kyrian Marksmanship Hunters will start to stray away from gearing Critical Strike. We'll start to see trends towards more Mastery and Versatility, rather than Critical Strike.
Another thing to consider for Kyrian is damage procs. Things such as trinkets, racials, etc that deal damage are enhanced due to
共鸣箭
. Since the Critical Strike and damage boost from
衰竭印记
is applied to the target, ALL damage instances benefit. In terms of gearing, damage trinkets will be worth more as a Kyrian versus other covenants.
As always, it's recommended to sim yourself on
Raidbots
to find the most optimal build.
Kyrian Marksmanship Hunter 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).
The tree progressively unlocks based on completion steps (such as finishing the campaign) and your Renown level with the Kyrian covenant. I've summarized the optimal traits for each Soulbind below, along with potential conduits to slot in.
Pelagos gives you 3 major DPS trait:
战斗冥想
gives you a large amount of Mastery while Resonating Arrow is active. During Combat Meditation, Sorrowful Memories (little blue balls) will fall around you. Picking one up extends the Mastery buff by an additional 3 seconds, potentially increasing its benefit up to ~20 sec. There is a maximum of 3 balls that will spawn. Try to pick up the balls while channeling
急速射击
or another mobile ability.
强强联手
is a simple Mastery buff for you and another ally. We love Mastery so this is a pretty solid passive DPS boost.
崭新决心
spawns a Doubt while in combat. It will manifest for a short period of time. Turning your character to face it will give a 12% Agility boost and 12% Stamina boost for 15 sec. It procs about once a minute on average but it's completely RNG so be sure to be on the lookout for it. It can be rather hard to see, especially in raid.
In addition to two potency conduits, Pelagos gives us access to three Endurance conduits. As a Hunter, having both
猎手坚韧
and
射手优势
is huge in terms of survivability (yes this means we still have to use Hunters Mark!). Finally, there are a few traits in the Pelagos tree which help us defensively.
放下过去
is just a passive buff to our Magic Resistance. Casting two unique abilities in a row stacks the magic resistance up to 3%. Rotationally, this forces you to avoid casting two of the same ability in a row. It is
not
worth playing around this trait. Marksmanship is able to keep a fairly high uptime on this ability unless we run
稳固集中
.
集中咒语
lowers the cooldown of your
静谧之瓶
by a second each time you kill an enemy. This isn't very big in raids, but it can add up in open-world content or dungeons.
An example tree to follow on this Soulbind is as follows:
Kleia gives you 3 possible DPS traits:
勇气外露
grants you Critical Strike for every nearby ally, up to a maximum of 5%. This trait alone is pretty huge for Marksmanship Hunters since we love Crit. The bonus is fairly easy to maintain fully in a raid environment, but in any other form of content, it will be rare that you'll maintain max stacks.
照亮道路
causes your
骁勇打击
to grant Critical Strike per stack. When it's consumed, gain 5% Critical Strike for 12 sec. This gives us a nice chunk of passive Critical Strike. The downside to this is that the strength of it oscillates randomly and depends on Valiant Strikes.
执政官之矛
gives you 3% Critical Strike after damaging an enemy above 90% health. Not a very useful trait for raid, but extremely good in Mythic+ where you'll constantly be encountering new enemies.
As you maybe have noticed, Kleia loves her Critical Strike bonuses. Critical Strike is quite nice for Marksmanship in general, but since Kyrian's have
共鸣箭
, too much can actually be a negative thing as we hit diminishing returns. Kleia only gives us two potency slots. A third slot is available, but we must give up
勇气外露
to obtain it. Once we hit renown 42, we'll be able to equip
衰竭印记
and
神射手的专注
.
Kleia falls short on the DPS front, but she excels on the survivability front. Similar to Pelagos, Kleia gives us access to 3 Endurance conduits. As a Hunter, this means we'll go for both
猎手坚韧
,
射手优势
, and
春回大地
. Additionally, Kleia gives us some more defensive traits to help us as well as our allies.
骁勇打击
is super useful for party/raid healing. We'll be critting quite often (each tick of
急速射击
counts towards this) so we can do some serious healing here.
师徒一心
gives a passive maximum health increase. Not an amazing trait, but it can be fairly useful.
净化仪式
is much more useful in Mythic+, but a 10% maximum health shield is always welcome.
An example tree to follow on this Soulbind is as follows:
Forgelite Prime Mikanikos gives us 4 possible DPS traits:
行动的召唤:布隆
summons Bron to deal a fair bit of damage and knocks enemies back for a period of time. Unfortunately, this ability is pretty bad for Marksmanship Hunters. Between the long cast times of Aimed Shot, Steady Shot, and Rapid Fire, we don't stack this up very often. Not nearly as much as some of the other, more spammy classes.
源生重槌
provides us with Haste when damaging new enemies. While it's possible during Raid, we typically won't have enough new enemies (with the exception of a few fights) for this trait to be worth it. It becomes better in Mythic+. Regardless though, Marksmanship doesn't really like Haste so we won't typically go for this trait.
灵魂光谱仪
applies a debuff to a single target, increasing our damage dealt against that target by 1% up to 5%. The debuff will slowly ramp over 15 sec and continue to oscillate once finished.
溢流心能加速器
does a large amount of damage to enemies hit by our
共鸣箭
. Hitting multiple enemies reduces the cooldown of Resonating Arrow by up to 20 sec. We generally want to sync all our abilities together, but in sustained AoE, lining up
乱射
and Resonating Arrow every 45 sec can be a fairly sizable gain.
Forgelite Prime Mikanikos is a pretty diverse tree for us now. For single target, we'll opt to take 3 potency slots and forgo taking
源生重槌
unless there are multiple add spawns in the encounter. This means we'll want to equip
衰竭印记
,
神射手的专注
and
强效精准
once we hit renown 41. In AoE, such as Mythic+, we'll swap over to using Hammer of Genesis and forgo the third Potency Slot. Additionally, we'll want to replace
强效精准
with
致命连锁
.
The major downside for Mikanikos is his lack of defensive utility. Unlike Pelagos and Kleia, we only get two endurance conduits by taking his optimal route. We'll want to take
猎手坚韧
and
射手优势
. Bron also gives us some minor healing when he spawns via
行动的召唤:布隆
. Other than that, Mikanikos gives us some cool utility traits such as
再生材料
and
灵钢之钳
.
掌炉大师的滤网
is a really nice passive defensive that will automatically activate when falling to low health. It can however, be a negative in certain instances as it can proc when you don't really want it to. It'll still consume a charge of
静谧之瓶
and put it on cooldown.
An example tree to follow on this Soulbind is as follows:
Double Legendaries for $covenant Marksmanship Hunter
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 $covenant Marksmanship Hunter even more. You can learn more about it in our Legendary Guide.
