Tier Sets
Midnight Arms Warrior Season 1 Tier Set Bonuses:
- (2) Set Bonus: Mortal Strike and Cleave damage increased by 5%. Colossus Smash increases damage taken by an additional 5% (from 30% to 35%).
- (4) Set Bonus: Extend a Colossus Smash debuff on your target by 1 second if they are hit by Mortal Strike or a Cleave that hits 3 targets.
Tier Set Discussion:
Typically, the opening tier sets of an expansion are quite basic and uninteresting. This is not too much different. The extra Colossus Smash uptime is vaguely interesting, allowing for potentially high uptime of the Colossus Smash debuff across a fight, particularly when paired with the Battlelord talent.

Trinkets
Raid trinkets seem more powerful than M+ trinkets in this season. The trinkets you’ll ideally want are:
- Gaze Of The Alnseer - Chimaerus (Dreamrift)
- Heart Of Ancient Hunger - Vorasius (Voidspire)
If you can’t get either of these then here are some decent alternatives:
- Umbral Plume - Belo’Ren (March on Quel’danas) This trinket may drop in it’s Mastery form (Radiant Plume). Simply equip it and use the on use effect to turn it into the Crit variation
- Algeth'ar Puzzle Box - Algeth’ar Academy
- Heart Of Wind - Windrunner Spire
Embellishments
You can have two Embellishments on your character at any one time. On your select crafted items you’ll want the Devouring Bolts embellishment. You get this from the Devouring Banding embellishment item.
This embellishment gives your abilities a chance to proc a bolt for minor damage as well as increasing your highest secondary stat.
