Tier Set Discussion:
While this tier set doesn’t affect gameplay much, it is decently strong with a haste buff that has decent uptime and is very welcome in the first tier of an expansion when there’s less stats on gear. Stormbringer could, in theory, have this buff up 1/3rd of the time if Herald Of The Storms is taken.
Another stack to Stormkeeper and causing those buffed casts to deal more damage improves burst potential and is going to be more impactful in AoE.
Trinkets
Based on beta and limited testing there’s a few options that stand out.
Gaze Of The Alnseer - Intellect buff that procs extremely frequently and stacks.
Vaelgor's Final Stare - On-use mastery pairs well with Ascendance.
Heart Of Wind - Haste proc with good uptime.
Locus-Walker's Ribbon - Intellect proc that grows stronger the longer the fight is.
Embellishments
The preferred embellishment is not determined at the time of writing this.
Crafting a weapon first is often the best choice but make sure to sim yourself.
