Trinkets
Good Raid-Trinket options include:
The Mythic+ Trinkets you should aim for are:
- Signet of the Priory - Priory
- Azerokk’s Resonating Heart - The MOTHERLODE!!
- Ravenous Honey Buzzer - Cinderbrew Meadery
On top of that there are some competitive Trinkets from Delves. They are generally good early on in a season:
Embellishments
We want two pieces of gear with the Dawnthread Lining Embellishment, which increases critical strike rating when above 80% HP.
The best slots for our crafted pieces are Wrists and Cloak, due to their lower stat budget and bad alternatives.
The stats we want to apply to our crafted gear are Critical Strike and Mastery.
Alternatively, you could Craft a P.0.W. x2 with Darkmoon Sigil: Ascension, which increases a random secondary stat, every 8 seconds you remain in combat. Pair this embellishment with a pair of crafted Glyph-Etched Vambraces with Writhing Armor Banding to double up the Darkmoon Sigil: Ascension value of your weapon.
This is recommended if you do not have access to an early Mythic-difficulty weapon.
Cyrce’s Circlet
Since the Item level of this ring is so high, it will always be worth using it up until you get a high item level replacement Ring. The key is always to sim it!
The gems you want to put in are:
