Tier Sets

Midnight Season 1 Tier Set Bonus:

The 2 Set is fairly simple and almost unnoticeable unless you are talented into Shadow Mend. The 4 Set is especially good in Raid, providing much higher Atonement uptime throughout a fight.

Treat the list below as a rough guide to help you target the right content for your gear. To see exactly what's best for your character's current setup, I recommend simming yourself with QELive.

Trinkets

Currently, these two trinkets are BIS for both Mythic+ and Raid, and they both drop from the raid:

  • Gaze of the Alnseer: A very strong proc-based secondary stat trinket. It currently has high uptime, making it a reliable passive option.
  • Locus-Walker's Ribbon: An overtuned trinket with a high chance of proccing Intellect. It’ll likely see some nerfs, but for now, it’s the strongest choice even if you ignore the secondary effect.

There aren't many amazing options from Mythic+ right now, but here are the noteworthy ones:

  • Vessel of Tortured Souls: A decent trinket that spawns small green clouds you need to pick up. This refreshes a buff that lasts a full minute, so keeping 4 stacks active is pretty easy.
  • Heart of Wind: A passive trinket that procs a Haste buff from your damage spells.
  • Refueling Orb: If your raw healing doesn't matter as much and you just want to push group damage, this is incredibly powerful due to its high uptime on the entire party.

Embellishments

These are just assumptions for now and will be updated as soon as more data comes in.

Crafted gear provides a massive item level upgrade and gives you access to Embellishments.

Early in the season, it’s vital to get strong upgrades without wasting crests. That’s why I recommend your first craft be the two-handed weapon Aln'hara Cane with the Darkmoon Sigil: Hunt embellishment. This ensures you aren't wasting crests upgrading both a Main Hand and an Off-hand separately.

For your second craft, I recommend Arcanoweave Cord. This is a specific belt with a solid proc that provides constant value.

If you already have a Mythic-level belt, craft a high stat-budget item with Arcanoweave Lining for an immediate power gain. This will likely be Martyr's Waistwrap (Waist), Martyr's Slippers (Feet), or Martyr's Mantle (Shoulders), basically whichever provides the biggest item level jump for you at the time.

Refer to the Stat Priority page for the correct stats.
