Tier Set
- (2) Set Bonus: Consuming Soul Shards has a chance to grant you Chaos Maelstrom, increasing your critical strike chance by 15% for 10 seconds (was 10%).
- (4) Set Bonus: Your critical strikes deal 212% (was 208%) damage instead of the usual 200%.
The season 4 tier set does not impact gameplay in any meaningful way. This tier set is entirely passive and will naturally increase your damage without playing around it.

Trinkets
The best trinkets for Destruction are Whispering Incarnate Icon or Belor’relos, the Suncaller and Nymue’s Unraveling Spindle. The Nymue trinket is especially strong because of Grand Warlock’s Design making our Infernal sync with the trinket.
