Trinkets
Treacherous Transmitter: Gonna be our early season BiS until you get a high item level House of Cards, the way you wanna play it is macro it onto Flagellation and complete the task just as you press your first Secret Technique.
House of Cards: A pretty straight forward 1min 30seconds on-use trinket that you just wanna pair up with your cooldowns.
Eye of Kezan: A passive trinket that slowly ramps up in how many stats it gives while in combat and when it reaches max stacks (20) you start dealing damage with each proc.
Embellishments
Recommended Embellishments:
All three of these embellishment perform very similar to each other one drawback from the lining ones are that you need to stay above 80% health as much as possible whereas the Focusing Lens is just a stable damage proc, personally I recommend going with the Focusing Lens for a more consistent option.
Cyrce’s Circlet
Patch 11.0.7 adds this new ring, Cyrce’s Circlet, similar to what we had back in Dragonflight and it is currently 2.4% better than our 2nd best option, ill quickly go over which gems you should get for it.
