Blood Death Knight Midnight Gearing Guide

Midnight Season 1 Tier Set Bonuses:

• (2) Set Bonus: Your Blood Boil deals 8% increased damage and generates 3 Runic Power.
• (4) Set Bonus: Death Strike deals 8% increased damage and has a 10% chance to grant a charge of Blood Boil.

Tier Set Discussion:

Due to the (4) Set Bonus giving us bonus charges of Blood Boil, we should aim to stay below 1 charge, to not waste any casts across encounters.

The lists below contain the BiS gear for both Raiding and Mythic+ as a Blood Death Knight in Midnight Season 1.

• Raiding
• Mythic+

The general recommendation for trinkets is to take one trinket that pairs well with our main cooldown Dancing Rune Weapon, and a strong passive trinket.

S Tier Trinkets

Gaze Of The Alnseer - This trinket provides more mainstat across a fight compared to other trinkets of a similar item level.

Light Company Guidon - Particularly good for San’layn, macroing it in with your Dancing Rune Weapon is optimal.

A Tier Trinkets

Umbral Plume - Provides gradually increasing crit or mastery, this ramps with your first Dancing Rune Weapon, and every other; making it a solid choice for a passive trinket.

Heart Of Ancient Hunger - A passive crit proc on a generally high uptime, completely passive.

Solarflare Prism - A passive crit and damage proc, the damage of which increases with each % of missing health of the target. In Mythic+ it can target higher HP targets, making it weaker.

Heart Of Wind - An easily farmable haste trinket, with a high uptime. This makes it desirable for San’layn specifically.

I have only ranked S to A-Tier trinkets here, as the B Tier trinkets and below underperform compared to their farmable alternatives.

When judging embellishments, you should always sim your character accordingly.

If you lack a Myth-Track weapon, and you have 4x Spark Of Radiance, craft the Blood Knight's Warblade with Darkmoon Sigil: Void / Darkmoon Sigil: Hunt.

Otherwise, Craft the following for Single Target and AoE.

Single Target:

1. Loa Worshiper's Band if you have a colored gem
2. Spellbreaker's Bracers with Devouring Banding
3. Spellbreaker's Girdle with Devouring Banding

AoE:

1. Spellbreaker's Bracers with Arcanoweave Lining / Devouring Banding
2. Spellbreaker's Girdle with Arcanoweave Lining / Devouring Banding

Keep in mind that you can only wear 2 Embellished crafted items at once.

Arcanoweave Lining has been recommended for AoE, as it provides more group value than Devouring Banding.

Prismatic Focusing Iris and Stabilizing Gemstone Bandolier may provide more Single Target damage, but you should avoid crafting items without primary stat early into the season.

Bonus Rolls (Nebulous Voidcores)

Introduced in Patch 12.0.5, players can now acquire and use Nebulous Voidcores to easily obtain specific equipment from specific bosses via Bonus Loot Rolls.

Once an item is received via Bonus Loot, that item is removed from the Bonus Loot Pool.

Below are the High Priority bonus roll targets, and the items that you’re fishing for:

If you do not have access to Mythic Raids, then the best way to spend Bonus Rolls is to prioritise items you can catalyst into Mythic Tier.

Voidforging (Ascendant Voidcores)

Upon unlocking the Voidforge, we can collect Ascendant Voidcores to further empower our Weapons and Trinkets, via Midnight Endgame Content.

The upgrade priority is as follows:

Myth Track Weapon > Crafted Weapon > Myth Track Trinkets > Hero Track Trinkets

Once your item is "Ascendant Voidforged" you will no longer be able to upgrade it.
