Tier Sets

(2) Set Bonus: Disintegrate damage increased by 10% and Pyre damage increased by 10%.

(4) Set Bonus: Eternity Surge's cooldown is decreased by 5.0 sec and it now grants Essence Burst.

Our 2 piece bonus grants us a damage increase to our spenders Disintegrate and Pyre.

Our 4 piece bonus makes casting Eternity Surge really rewarding and eases out Essence management with a free essence burst every time Eternity Surge is casted.

The following list isn’t exhaustive, and will focus on only listing some items to give you a rough idea where to start your gearing journey. There are only very few items that beat out every other item in their respective slot. To get a full list of possible upgrades for your character specifically, I recommend running a Droptimizer simulation for the Raids and Mythic+ Dungeons.

Trinkets

With The War Within there are a variety of trinkets that can work well for devastation. Usually you want to aim for either: 1 on-use and 1 passive trinket or 2 passive trinkets. On-use trinkets on a 2 minute cooldown work especially well since they line up with every Dragonrage cast.

To give you a baseline what trinkets are worth getting your hands on I'll list a few options below.On-use trinkets:

Spymaster’s Web - This trinket stacks a buff on yourself that slightly increases your Intellect. When used these stacks are consumed and converted into a bigger intellect buff per stack. You want to consume stacks with every Dragonrage. If you find yourself at the end of a fight / dungeon and want to get some extra intellect in you can weave in some casts since the trinkets cooldown is only 20 seconds.

Signet of the Priory - A simple 2 minute cooldown stat buff. Noteworthy is that this trinket also buffs your party (up to 4 people).

Passive Trinkets:

Ara-Kara Sacbrood - A mix between a stat boost and a damage proc.

Empowering Crystal of Anub’ikkaj - Super simple stat stick granting random secondary stats.

Embellishments

Embellishments & Crafted Gear are in a weird spot by now. The short version is, they deal close to zero dmg in comparison to what we are used to from Dragonflight. This said, the chances for Embellishment tuning are quite high. Still there are some interesting ones that could, depending on tuning of course, stand out.

Dawnthread Lining: Critical Strike is our best secondary stat. Having a boost on our Crit Chance is a great fit, as long as we’re at high health for long enough.

Elemental Focusing Lens: A passively working damage proc. Depending on how much uptime Dawnthread Lining has Elemental Focusing Lens could see some play!
