Tier Sets
Midnight Season 1 Tier Set Bonuses:
- 2 Set: Wildfire Bomb damage increased by 10%
- 4 Set: Wildfire Bomb provokes an additional Strike As One
Tier Set Discussion:
As tradition, the first tier set of any expansion has little to no impact on your gameplay. Acquiring either of those bonuses will increase your dps but not change your rotation.

Trinkets
Survival has a list of viable options for trinkets.
Generally it is recommended to either have an on use trinket in conjunction with a passive one or 2 passive trinkets. Double on use are generally not recommended, although they can have its niches in some situations
Radiant Plume / Umbral Plume - Strong passive trinket that if used out of combat transforms into different versions of itself providing different stats. Mastery is your strongest stat so you want to make sure you have it set to the Radiant version of this trinket.
Gaze Of The Alnseer - Strong passive trinket that procs stats when using abilities. Does not change much gameplay wise and is just a strong option to deal more dps.
Algeth'ar Puzzle Box - A strong on use trinket granting you a ton of mastery after its 2s cast finishes. Make sure you pre-emptively cast it so you can deal as much damage as possible when you use your cooldowns with it.
Light Company Guidon - Decent on use Trinket granting you haste and movement speed on use. Not as strong as Algeth'ar Puzzle Box but is a decent option as an on use trinket if you have not been lucky with the previous trinket.
Embellishments
Embellishments are a way to further increase the strength of crafted gear.
You want to focus on the most impactful upgrades with your crafted gear. At the start of a season, this will likely be focusing on crafting a Weapon first as the high item level will outperform any other weapon that most people will realistically be able to receive at the start of a season.
The following crafts are generally recommended for the highest DPS gain:
With Better gear, Masterwork Sin'dorei Band with Prismatic Focusing Iris become slightly better.
