Tier Sets
Midnight Season 2 Retribution Paladin Tier Set Bonuses:
- (2) Set Bonus: Divine Purpose has an additional 10% chance to activate, and consuming it grants you 10% increased Holy damage for 12 sec.
- (4) Set Bonus: Consuming Divine Purpose grants Divine Arbiter, empowering your other Holy Power spenders to deal Holy damage to your main target, and splash damage around it.
Tier Set Discussion:
The season 2 Tier Set heavily favors Herald of the Sun since you’re guaranteed a Divine Purpose proc every time you cast Wake Of Ashes due to the Aurora talent.

Trinkets
There are a number of great trinkets for Ret Paladin in Midnight Season 2.
S Tier Trinkets:
A Tier Trinkets:
- Sapling Of The Dawnroot (ST)
- Blazebinder's Hoof
- Gebbo's Bottomless Bag
- Keeper's Seething Core
- Merektha's Fang (AoE)
Most of these trinkets are passive and do not change any gameplay or require any thought to be utilised, with the exception of Merektha's Fang.
Merektha's Fang has a cast time and needs to be aimed. This may feel awkward to play with at first. However, all it really changes in your gameplay is you must make sure you use this trinket BEFORE entering your cooldown window, not after.
Embellishments
Recommendations are subject to change and you should sim your character accordingly.
For optional early season crafting, craft:
- Blood Knight's Warblade with Hunter's Ritual Stone.
- Then craft Loa Worshiper's Band.
Later in the season for BiS, craft:
If playing Loa Worshiper's Band + Stabilizing Gemstone Bandolier, make sure you fill all gems, besides your Indecipherable Eversong Diamond, with Flawless Masterful Peridot.
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 |
| The Coiled Altar | Mythic | Maze-Roa, Warlord's Fury |
| Ula’tek | Mythic | Voracious Heart Of Ula'tek |
| The Coiled Altar | Mythic | Zul'jin's Guillotine Technique |
| Ula’tek | Mythic | Aqirbane Reliquary |
| Ula’tek | Mythic | Chausses Of Unbound Rancor |
| Temple of Sethraliss | Mythic | Merektha's Fang (AoE Only) |
Voidforging (Ascendant Voidcores)
After unlocking the Voidforge, you’ll be able to collect Ascendant Voidcores to upgrade your weapons and trinkets, via Midnight Endgame Content.
The upgrade priority is as follows:
Myth Track Weapon > Crafted Weapon > Myth Track Trinkets > Hero Track Trinkets
Once your item is ‘Ascendant Voidforged’ you will no longer be able to upgrade it.
