Best Corrupted Enchantments for each class and spec
Below, you’ll find the best Corrupted Enchantments for every class and spec. Check out our full BiS lists for Patch 11.1.7 to see all top items and enchantments.
Death Knight BiS Corrupted Enchantments
Whether you’re tanking or dealing damage, Greater Rune of the Void Ritual is the best choice for Death Knights. Due to their slower attack speed, DKs can’t reliably trigger other enchantments as often. Plus, secondary stats are crucial for any DK spec, making Void Ritual the most effective and consistent option. But you can also use Greater Rune of Echoing Void for the same DPS in the most scenarios.
| Build | BiS Head Enchant for raids | BiS Head Enchant for M+ |
|---|---|---|
| Blood DK | Greater Rune of the Void Ritual / Greater Rune of Echoing Void | Greater Rune of the Void Ritual / Greater Rune of Echoing Void |
| Frost DK | Greater Rune of the Void Ritual / Greater Rune of Echoing Void | Greater Rune of the Void Ritual |
| Unholy DK | Greater Rune of the Void Ritual / Greater Rune of Echoing Void | Greater Rune of the Void Ritual / Greater Rune of Echoing Void |
Demon Hunter BiS Corrupted Enchantments
Vengeance Demon Hunter is the only tank that can benefit more from Greater Rune of Echoing Void than from Greater Rune of the Void Ritual. Use Echoing Void in content, where your group may need extra damage. For more balanced encounters, Void Ritual is preferred, as it offers a slight increase to both survivability and damage.
Havoc Demon Hunters should use Greater Rune of the Void Ritual for most encounters. However, Greater Rune of Gushing Wound provides slightly higher DPS in pure single-target situations.
| Build | BiS Head Enchant for raids | BiS Head Enchant for M+ |
|---|---|---|
| Havoc DH | Greater Rune of the Void Ritual / Greater Rune of Gushing Wound | Greater Rune of Echoing Void |
| Vengeance DH | Greater Rune of Echoing Void / Greater Rune of the Void Ritual | Greater Rune of the Void Ritual |
Monk BiS Corrupted Enchantments
Mistweavers use Greater Rune of the Void Ritual simply because it’s their only viable option. Windwalkers also prefer this rune, as their build heavily relies on secondary stats. For Brewmasters, defensive builds benefit more from Void Ritual too, while offensive builds can opt for Greater Rune of Echoing Void to maximize DPS.
| Build | BiS Head Enchant for raids | BiS Head Enchant for M+ |
|---|---|---|
| Brewmaster Monk | Greater Rune of Echoing Void or Greater Rune of the Void Ritual | Greater Rune of Echoing Void or Greater Rune of the Void Ritual |
| Mistweaver Monk | Greater Rune of the Void Ritual | Greater Rune of the Void Ritual |
| Windwalker Monk | Greater Rune of the Void Ritual | Greater Rune of Echoing Void |
Evoker BiS Corrupted Enchantments
Greater Rune of the Void Ritual is the best and only relevant Corrupted Enchantment for Preservation Evokers, as it directly supports healing output. Devastation Evokers also rely on this rune, as it provides the highest overall DPS. Only Augmentation Evokers may benefit more from other options, typically using Greater Rune of Gushing Wound in raids and Greater Rune of Twilight Devastation in Mythic+ content.
| Build | BiS Head Enchant for raids | BiS Head Enchant for M+ |
|---|---|---|
| Augmentation Evoker | Greater Rune of Gushing Wound / Greater Rune of Twilight Devastation | Greater Rune of Twilight Devastation / Greater Rune of Gushing Wound |
| Devastation Evoker | Greater Rune of the Void Ritual | Greater Rune of the Void Ritual |
| Preservation Evoker | Greater Rune of the Void Ritual | Greater Rune of the Void Ritual |
Warrior BiS Corrupted Enchantments
Whether you’re tanking or dealing damage, Greater Rune of the Void Ritual is the best choice for Warriors in any role. Its effectiveness scales with your item level, making it even more valuable as you gear up. If you’re freshly max level or undergeared, Greater Rune of Echoing Void may perform slightly better, but the difference is minimal..
| Build | BiS Head Enchant for raids | BiS Head Enchant for M+ |
|---|---|---|
| Arms Warrior | Greater Rune of the Void Ritual / Greater Rune of Echoing Void | Greater Rune of the Void Ritual / Greater Rune of Echoing Void |
| Fury Warrior | Greater Rune of the Void Ritual / Greater Rune of Echoing Void | Greater Rune of the Void Ritual / Greater Rune of Echoing Void |
| Protection Warrior | Greater Rune of the Void Ritual | Greater Rune of the Void Ritual |
Paladin BiS Corrupted Enchantments
Greater Rune of the Void Ritual is the top choice for every Paladin spec. For Protection and Holy, it’s a no-brainer. Retribution Paladins also benefit heavily from the extra secondary stats, and their slower attack speed makes it harder to consistently trigger other enchantments, making Void Ritual the clear winner.
| Build | BiS Head Enchant for raids | BiS Head Enchant for M+ |
|---|---|---|
| Holy Paladin | Greater Rune of the Void Ritual | Greater Rune of the Void Ritual |
| Protection Paladin | Greater Rune of the Void Ritual | Greater Rune of the Void Ritual |
| Retribution Paladin | Greater Rune of the Void Ritual | Greater Rune of the Void Ritual / Greater Rune of Echoing Void |
Hunter BiS Corrupted Enchantments
Marksmanship Hunters can consider Greater Rune of Gushing Wound for single-target encounters, but in most situations, Greater Rune of the Void Ritual is the superior choice. Both Beast Mastery and Survival Hunters should stick with Void Ritual, as secondary stats are essential for their performance.
| Build | BiS Head Enchant for raids | BiS Head Enchant for M+ |
|---|---|---|
| Beast Mastery | Greater Rune of the Void Ritual | Greater Rune of the Void Ritual |
| Marksmanship | Greater Rune of Gushing Wound / Greater Rune of the Void Ritual | Greater Rune of the Void Ritual |
| Survival | Greater Rune of the Void Ritual | Greater Rune of the Void Ritual |
Druid BiS Corrupted Enchantments
Whether you’re tanking, healing, or dealing damage melee or ranged, Greater Rune of the Void Ritual is the best choice for all Druid specs. Secondary stats are valuable for Druids, and alternative enchantments don’t offer better DPS. For tanking and healing specifically, Void Ritual is the only viable option.
| Build | BiS Head Enchant for raids | BiS Head Enchant for M+ |
|---|---|---|
| Balance Druid | Greater Rune of the Void Ritual | Greater Rune of the Void Ritual |
| Feral Druid | Greater Rune of the Void Ritual | Greater Rune of the Void Ritual |
| Guardian Druid | Greater Rune of the Void Ritual | Greater Rune of the Void Ritual / Greater Rune of Echoing Void / Greater Rune of the Twisted Appendage |
| Restoration Druid | Greater Rune of the Void Ritual | Greater Rune of the Void Ritual |
Rogue BiS Corrupted Enchantments
Greater Rune of Echoing Void is a strong choice for all Rogue specs, offering solid performance in both single-target and AoE situations. Rogues are the only class that benefits significantly more from Echoing Void than from Greater Rune of the Void Ritual. This is thanks to their fast attack speed and emphasis on Agility over secondary stats.
| Build | BiS Head Enchant for raids | BiS Head Enchant for M+ |
|---|---|---|
| Assassination Rogue | Greater Rune of Echoing Void | Greater Rune of Echoing Void / Greater Rune of Twilight Devastation / Greater Rune of the Void Ritual |
| Outlaw Rogue | Greater Rune of Echoing Void | Greater Rune of Echoing Void |
| Subtlety Rogue | Greater Rune of Echoing Void / Greater Rune of Twilight Devastation | Greater Rune of Echoing Void / Greater Rune of the Void Ritual |
Shaman BiS Corrupted Enchantments
Restoration Shamans can only effectively use Greater Rune of the Void Ritual, as it’s the only enchantment that supports healing. Elemental Shamans, being casters, don’t trigger other Corrupted Enchantments frequently enough to benefit from them. Enhancement Shamans heavily rely on Haste, Mastery, and Critical Strike, making Void Ritual the best choice for them as well.
| Build | BiS Head Enchant for raids | BiS Head Enchant for M+ |
|---|---|---|
| Elemental Shaman | Greater Rune of the Void Ritual | Greater Rune of the Void Ritual |
| Enhancement Shaman | Greater Rune of the Void Ritual | Greater Rune of the Void Ritual |
| Restoration Shaman | Greater Rune of the Void Ritual | Greater Rune of the Void Ritual |
Mage BiS Corrupted Enchantments
As a Frost Mage, you can try Greater Rune of Infinite Stars for single-target encounters, but the difference compared to Greater Rune of the Void Ritual is minimal. Fire and Arcane Mages should stick with Void Ritual, as it’s the most reliable and effective option for both specs.
| Build | BiS Head Enchant for raids | BiS Head Enchant for M+ |
|---|---|---|
| Arcane Mage | Greater Rune of the Void Ritual | Greater Rune of the Void Ritual |
| Fire Mage | Greater Rune of the Void Ritual | Greater Rune of Gushing Wound |
| Frost Mage | Greater Rune of the Void Ritual / Greater Rune of Infinite Stars | Greater Rune of the Void Ritual / Greater Rune of Echoing Void |
Priest BiS Corrupted Enchantments
No surprises here: Holy and Discipline Priests can only benefit from Greater Rune of the Void Ritual. Shadow Priests also gain more from secondary stats than direct damage procs, making Void Ritual the best option. Since it provides stats, it scales naturally with Shadow’s core gameplay and remains effective regardless of the number of targets.
| Build | BiS Head Enchant for raids | BiS Head Enchant for M+ |
|---|---|---|
| Discipline Priest | Greater Rune of the Void Ritual | Greater Rune of the Void Ritual |
| Holy Priest | Greater Rune of the Void Ritual | Greater Rune of the Void Ritual |
| Shadow Priest | Greater Rune of the Void Ritual | Greater Rune of the Void Ritual |
Warlock BiS Corrupted Enchantments
All Warlock specs have relatively slow attack speeds, making damage-based proc runes less effective. That’s why we recommend sticking with Greater Rune of the Void Ritual, a reliable and consistently beneficial option across all scenarios.
| Build | BiS Head Enchant for raids | BiS Head Enchant for M+ |
|---|---|---|
| Affliction Warlock | Greater Rune of the Void Ritual | Greater Rune of the Void Ritual |
| Demonology Warlock | Greater Rune of the Void Ritual | Greater Rune of the Void Ritual |
| Destruction Warlock | Greater Rune of the Void Ritual | Greater Rune of the Void Ritual |
The best Corrupted Enchantment
As you can see, Greater Rune of the Void Ritual stands out as the most popular choice. It’s the most versatile Corrupted Enchantment, since it can be triggered by any kind of action. That makes it the only available option for healers and tanks, who can’t benefit from damage-based procs of don’t need extra DPS that much. On top of that, Greater Rune of the Void Ritual provides secondary stats, which are always valuable, no matter your role.
The other Corrupted Enchantments are generally limited to DPS specs, and in many cases, they offer similar damage gains compared to Greater Rune of the Void Ritual. When some builds opt for different enchantments, it’s usually because secondary stats aren’t as crucial for them or because their rotation includes frequent casts, making effects like Greater Rune of Echoing Void and others more effective. You can also try using Echoing Void for Mythic+ encounters, as AoE damage is more important there.
In summary: Greater Rune of the Void Ritual is the clear MVP. It works well across all roles and is especially vital for tanks and healers. While some DPS builds may see slightly better results with other enchantments, the difference is often minor and Greater Rune of the Void Ritual can be used with any build.
