Trinkets
Good Raid-Trinket options include:
The Mythic+ Trinkets you should aim for are:
- Signet of the Priory - Priory
- Improvised Seaforium Pacemaker - Operation Floodgate
On top of that there are some competitive Trinkets from Delves. They are generally good early on in a season.
Embellishments
We want two pieces of gear with the Dawnthread Lining Embellishment, which increases critical strike rating when above 80% HP.
Best slots for our crafted pieces are Wrists, Boots or Belt, due to their lower stat budget and bad alternatives.
The stats we want to apply to our crafted Gear are Critical Strike and Haste.
Alternatively you could Craft a p-0-w-x2 Weapon with Ascendance, which increases a random secondary stat, every 8 seconds you remain in combat. Pair this embellishment with a pair of crafted Wrist or Boots with Writhing Armor Banding to double up the Ascendance value of your weapon.
This is recommended if you do not have access to an early Mythic-difficulty weapon.
Puzzling Cartel Chips - Dinars
With this week's reset, and the Turbo-Boost-Event being live, you will be able to receive powerful gear pieces from Raid, or up to Myth-Track Mythic+ Trinkets, by completing the associated weekly quest and earning Puzzling Cartel Chips. The first weekly quest will reward you with 3 Chips, while every following weekly will reward only one Chip. Every Piece of gear is exchanged for 3 Chips, making you able to buy up to three different Items.
Items you should prioritize spending your Puzzling Cartel Chips on are:
- The Jastor Diamond - Special effect Rare-Ring from Raid.
- "Tiny Pal" - Special effect Weapon from Raid.
- Signet of the Priory - Our best on-use trinket from Mythic+.
- Improvised Seaforium Pacemaker - Our best passive trinket from Mythic+.
- Eye of Kezan - Our best passive trinket for prolonged combat, both ST and AOE.
- Test Pilot's Go-Pack - Special effect Rare-Cloak from Raid.
- House of Cards - Good on-use trinket for Mythic+-content. Also highly valuable on Marksman specialisation.
The items shown are somewhat in order of importance. Make sure to sim your character to find the biggest increase, based on your personal gear-status, before taking any choice!
Corruption Helmet Enchant
With this week’s reset, you will be able to revisit “Horrific Visions”, to unlock powerful Helmet enchants, which are purchasable from a Vendor. In order to be able to buy the enchants, you will only be required to complete a small series of quests.
Beast Mastery Hunter's bests Corruption is Greater Rune of the Void Ritual for any scenario.
Best D.I.S.C Belt & Miniature Titan Disc Effects
This new belt is acquired through a short series of quests, starting in Dornogal close to Brann. After obtaining the Durable Information Securing Container you are able to activate the item and choose one of your unlocked powers to be active. Unlocking powers can be done by finding the associated Titan-Discs in different Delves. Each Delve has the chance to drop a certain Titan-Disc at the end-of-Delve Chests. (The Delve does not have to be Overcharged, in order for the respective Titan-Disc to drop).
The item level of this belt can be upgraded every week, to a maximum of 701, tho it is already recommended to use the item as soon as you unlock it.
Recommended Titan Discs for Beast Mastery Hunter:
- In Single Target situations you want to use: Static Charge (you can find the respective Titan-Disc in the Sidestreet Sluice Delve in Undermine)
- In AoE situations you want to use: Static Charge
