Tier Sets
With the pre-patch, tier set bonuses have been changed to flat damage increases, as most specs have parts of their The War Within Season 3 tier set bonuses baked into their hero talents.
The Midnight Pre-Patch Tier Set Bonus:
- 2-set: Damage done increased by 6%
- 4-set: Damage done increased by 10%
Aldrachi Reaver keeps the previous tier set bonuses, with the new Hero Talents Bladecraft and Keen Edge.
Fel-Scarred keeps one half of the previous 4-set bonus, with the new Hero Talent Volatile Instinct. Entering demon form instantly induces a Demonsurge, but will not spawn a Demon Soul.

Trinkets
Havoc has good options in trinket selection. Your best trinkets are going to depend on the content you’re doing and the talents you’re playing. In general, I’d recommend pairing an on-use trinket with a passive trinket.
Fel-Scarred:
- Araz's Ritual Forge (On-use)
- Astral Antenna (Passive)
- Sigil Of The Cosmic Hunt (Passive)
Araz's Ritual Forge is the highest priority of the three.
Aldrachi Reaver Raid:
- Astral Antenna
- Screams Of A Forgotten Sky (passive trinket for pure Single-Target encounters)
- Cursed Stone Idol (On-use)
Aldrachi Reaver Mythic+:
Alternatives:
Embellishments
Raiding
For Raid you should use Darkmoon Sigil: Ascension on your crafted warglaive, and Writhing Armor Banding on crafted wrists.
Optionally, you can use 2x Dawnthread Lining on your crafted armor if you do Mythic+ as well.
Note: Make sure that your crafted weapon is a Warglaive, so that you can use it for both Havoc and Devourer.
Mythic+
For Mythic+, use 2x Dawnthread Lining on your crafted armor.
Reshii Wraps
Reshii Wraps is a new Cloak released in Patch 11.2 and will be the only cloak you use (and the only one that can drop from any content in Season 3). You gain access to it via a quest chain and completing chapter 3 of the main patch storyline.
To add a secondary stat to the Reshii Wraps you use a Fiber in the Fiber Socket of the Cloak. The highest quality version (Pure Fiber) of the Fibers requires a work-order to a Tailor.
When picking a Fiber, I strongly recommend simming your character for the best stat for your current gear and intended content. If you just want a quick recommendation for which Reshii Fiber to use, then I recommend using Pure Energizing Fiber (Mastery) for Fel-Scarred, and Pure Precise Fiber (Critical Strike) for Aldrachi Reaver.
