Tier Sets

Midnight Season 2 Enhancement Shaman Tier Set Bonuses:

  • (2) Set Bonus: Voltaic Blaze causes your primary target to erupt in a Fire Nova every 2 sec for 6 sec. Fire Nova deals 200% increased damage to the primary target of your Voltaic Blaze.
  • (4) Set Bonus: Fire Nova reduces the cooldown of Crash Lightning by 2.0 sec and increases the damage of your next Crash Lightning by 8%, stacking up to 5 times.

Tier Set Discussion:

This new tier set elevates Voltaic Blaze from being a filler button straight to your top priority. This set favors Stormbringer, because Totemic has a hard time fitting in the extra Crash Lightnings you gain from the 4pc.

Trinkets

In general, you will want an on-use trinket to pair with your cooldowns and a passive trinket providing stats. The raid trinkets absolutely blow the dungeon options out of the water this season, so focus your bonus rolls on trinkets.

Voracious Heart of Ula'tek is far and away the best on-use trinket in season 2. I highly advise you bonus roll Heroic Ula’tek for it. Sync it up with Ascendance, don’t use it on cooldown.

Vile Vial of Volatile Venom from the new dungeon Altar of Fangs is your farmable alternative on-use.

Freightrunner’s Flask is also worth a mention, but crit loses a lot of value once acquire the Venomcursed items from the raid. Sync it up with Ascendance, don’t use it on cooldown.

The best passive trinkets are also from the raid, with dungeon options lacking in comparison.

Zul'jin's Guillotine Technique is extremely strong with its active set bonus. Only use this on pure single target until you acquire Aman’muso as well.

Gebbo’s Bottomless Bag and Keeper’s Seething Core are solid alternatives, particularly in AoE situations, as the Guillotine Technique does not scale beyond two targets.

Resonant Bellowstone from Murder Row is your farmable alternative passive trinket.

Embellishments

I recommend crafting a weapon with Hunter’s Ritual Stone first. A Mythic item level weapon is a massive power spike at this point in the season, and as a dual wield spec you can always move it to your offhand after getting another weapon.

Any of the agility weapons work, but because of how professions work most Blacksmiths are most likely to specialize in axes at the start of the expansion, which means you will be crafting a Farstrider’s Chopper.

For your second embellishment, I recommend Arcanoweave Lining on an armor piece. Early in the season, you will want to pick a high budget slot for this that you are missing a Mythic piece in. Later in the season, move it to a low budget slot such as wrists or back.

Nebulous Voidcores (Bonus Rolls)

The Midnight Season 2 Bonus Rolls (Nebulous Voidcore) will be available from the start of the season as an alternative reward from your Great Vault. More sources for the bonus rolls will become available later into the Season.

Nebulous Voidcore Bonus Rolls let you target specific loot from a Raid Boss or Mythic+ Dungeon; once an item is received via Bonus Loot, that item is removed from the Bonus Loot Pool.

Below are the High Priority bonus roll target items and where they drop from:

Source / Drop Difficulty Target Item
Ula’tek Mythic / Heroic Voracious Heart Of Ula'tek
Ula’tek Mythic / Heroic Aqirbane Reliquary
Ula’tek Mythic / Heroic Awoken Dreadfang Cuirass
The Coiled Altar Mythic / Heroic Aman'muso, Warlord's Vengeance
The Coiled Altar Mythic / Heroic Zul'jin's Guillotine Technique
