Trinkets
Spymaster’s Web: A strong stat-stick that can be used whenever you need additional healing. Simply keeping Flame Shock active is enough to make this trinket good.
Gale of Shadows: An overbudget stat-stick that works well if you have Flame Shock active,
Unbound Changeling: A strong passive stat-stick.
Ovi’nax’s Mercurial Egg: Standing still will grant you stacks of Deliberate increases your mainstat, stacking over time. Moving will generate Reckless Incubation and remove stacks of Deliberate Incubation. Using the trinket will “pause” the effects for a short time.
Embellishments
Currently most of the embellishments are quite underwhelming, so our options are quite limited. If you don’t happen to get a weapon from Raid or Mythic+ early on, crafting a one-handed weapon is a great first option because we can put Darkmoon Sigils on them.
Your next best option is to craft Binding of Binding, which is a ring that allows you to bind yourself to a chosen target to give them some extra stats.
All other embellishment options are either throughput decreases because they require multiple pieces to activate them, or are simply too annoying to justify using.
