Trinkets
Without sims to back up anything a combination of these trinkets is advised in the pre-patch. Once the Sims are finalised, this section of the guide will be updated.
On Use Trinkets:
- Araz Ritual Forge
- Signet of the Priory
Passive Trinkets:
- Diamantine Voidcore (BiS IF using “special” weapon from the raid)
- Astral Antenna
- Azhiccaran Parapodia
- Empowering Crystal of Anub’ikkaj
Embellishments
Darkmoon Sigil Ascension + Writhing armor band seems to be the best choice for pretty much every scenario. The Darkmoon Sigils can only be crafted on weapons or off-hands and therefore locks your choices a bit.
The easiest way to deal with this is to craft an off-hand with the Darkmoon Sigil: Ascension and a normal low budget cloth item with Writhing armor band (such as wrists). This also means you can get the "special" weapon and trinket combination, whilst also having the best Embellishment combination.
Special Weapons
There are 3 weapons with special effects in the raid and they are all better than any other non-”special” weapon. These are:
- Voidglass Spire (2h Staff from Soulbinder)
- Voidglass Kris (1h Dagger from Fractillus)
- Voidglass Sovereign’s Blade (1h Sword from Nexus King Salhadar).
A Myth track weapon will outperform any of these on Hero track, but any of these “special” weapons on Myth track will outperform any other weapon combination.
With the relatively low difficulty of Soulbinder Nazindhri early in the raid, The Voidglass Spire is definitely an item to try to obtain if you have the ability to do 2/8M bosses.
Also, any of these weapons means that the voidcore trinket from Fractillus at pretty much any item level becomes your best option as it increases the effect of your weapon by 100% while the trinket is active.
Reshii Wraps
Reshii Wraps is a new Cloak released in Patch 11.2 and will be the only cloak you use (and the only one that can drop from any content in Season 3). You gain access to it via a quest chain and completing chapter 3 of the main patch storyline.
The Reshii Wraps are upgradable via Ethereal Strands and can have secondary stats of your choice added to it.
To add a secondary stat to the Reshii Wraps you use a Fiber in the Fiber Socket of the Cloak. The highest quality version of the Fibers requires a work-order to a Tailor.
When picking a Fiber, I strongly recommend simming your character for the best stat for your current gear and intended content. If you just want a quick recommendation for which Reshii Fiber to use, then use Pure Chronomantic Fiber (Haste).
To find out more about the Reshii Wraps, you can read the Method Reshii Wraps Overview Guide.
Puzzling Cartel Chips
If you have Puzzling Cartel Chips to spend, which you can get a total of 9 per character, then consider purchasing a Voidglass Kris weapon and any of the trinkets you are missing. You could also consider buying the Interloper’s Silken Striders boots that drop from The Soul Hunters, which buff your Reshii Wraps.
Note: You do need to have defeated the boss that drops the loot you want to buy on normal or above for Heroic Track gear, or Mythic for Myth Track gear.
