Stats update:

Equip: Improves critical strike rating by 84.
Equip: Chance on critical hit to increase your attack power by 1000 for 10 sec.

Comment by Thrakin

...Okay. This one had me cream my pants. This... IS so over the top is isn't funny. No other BC trinket grants even HALF of this, not even ones with Use effects. ...And this is just an entry-level trinket ( No "high-end" raids have been cleared yet )... Just imagine Icecrown trinkets! JESUS!

Comment by Sounder

Proc chance: 10%. (Just click though the second Equip: effect.)

Keep in mind that that's a chance on *crit*. Most trinkets at this level have a proc chance of 15%. This effect will have a lower uptime, balancing it out overall.

40 Badges from the Vendor.

When it procs, it increses my Death Knight's AP by +50%

Sweet, hourglass of the unraveller 2.0! Now I won't have to run a single instance a thousand times over to get it on 3 characters. =]

Comment by Athene

Has anyone tested if this proccs off seals?

There has to be an ICD on this, it's way too powerful to not have one.

Comment by 96964

Currently the best-in-game trinket for PVE rogues due to the way poisons now scale with AP & ignore increased boss armor.

Internal CD appears to be 45s, with very high proc rate (15-30%.) Basic napkinmath indicates the proc is worth roughly 225-250 static AP, which is rather a rather enormous amount. Combat rogues may be able to get as much as the equivalent to 300 static AP out of it if they finely control their burst damage, timing CDs such as Killing Spree, Adrenaline Rush & Blade Flurry to coincide with the proc.

Comment by 256983

Some people have posted about a lacklustre proc rate on this trinket. Recap informs me after 41 minutes of combat time in a heroic, i gained the Reflection of torment buff (http://www.wowhead.com/?spell=33648) a total of 41 times.

This seems to indicate the standard 1 proc-per-minute mechanic.

30 minutes straight on a training dummy revealed the buffed gained 26 times. It's only a pretty small sample, but uptime was 14.79%, shortest time between procs was 50 seconds, average proc-to-proc was 1m9s. The combat log showed it proccing off both white attacks and specials.

This is as a combat rogue with a low 20% crit chance on all my attacks. I expect that specs/classes with a greater crit chance would see a slightly higher uptime.

Just tested again for 30 minutes with wound poison on my mainhand (it can crit), uptime was still around 14.91%.

It's really basic math of course, but, that means the proc is worth ~150 static AP to combat rogues.

Comment by Althalis

Anyone know if this works for hunters? Going to assume it does seeing as how it says neither melee or ranged.

Comment by 193367

I picked this up on my ret pally. Clearly the more crit you have the better this trinket will be. The reason why this is amazing as a ret pally is due to the fact it procs off any offensive crits we do. That includes crits from judgements,auto attacks, divine storm,as well as any crit damage from a crusader strike. Hands down worth the badges.

Comment by Eminence

hmm death and decay can crit too. this should be extremely useful for death knights ;)

Comment by 234395

Since the hunter ability volley is often critting like 3+ times pr. second, will it be possible to force out procs using this ability? And do you guys think this trinket will be any good in the arena?

Comment by 237623

Mirror of Truth...so you look in the mirror, see the truth and get really angry? Sounds about right.

Comment by ADneo

this trinket gives 1540 AP for Feral druids when Savage Roar is active,

all AP gets multiplied by Savage Roar. from trinkets, procs, manual activation etc

Comment by 32973

For rogues, Fan of Knives' crits will trigger the effect.

Comment by sorsa

Keeps you safe from being turned into a purple bunny, keep it close should you ever wander into the Dark World.

Comment by Aeolyn

The AP gain from this proc is modified by effects like Trueshot Aura.

Comment by Volpe39

does anyone know if the internal cooldown is shared with the CD of Anvil of Titans?

Comment by Thaspraya

This is a flat upgrade of http://www.wowhead.com/?item=28034.
Both have a 10% chance to proc AP on crit and a passive crit boost.

Comment by samus

If a gnome looked into this it would see a tauren O.o

Comment by Yanger

By the looks of it, we'll be able to purchase a similar trinket for Wintergrasp Marks of Honor.

Comment by 77469

Anybody knows if that trinket proccs of paladins Judgements ?

Comment by Janube

This trinket is definitely bugged.

After first purchasing and equipping it, it never procced once.

Someone asked me whether or not it was worth buying, and I decided to start testing, and I couldn't get it to proc no matter what I did.

Until, of course, I un-equipped and re-equipped it.
Then it worked perfectly.

So if you're having trouble with it, re-equip it.

Comment by Krateros

This item will now only proc off melee critical strikes in the next patch (3.0.8)

Comment by Loudnoxious

Just some quick napkin math based on about a 45% raid buffed crit rate, expertise capped and about a 15% white miss rate (which MAINLY applies to offhand, but probably roughly half that applies to the main hand as well (heroic strikes, being specials, should always hit)) for a fury warrior:

You would need, on average, 22 swings to connect to cause a proc. Whirlwinds are two chances, your autoattacks are one each and bloodthirst is one. It should take roughly 20 seconds to get 22 attacks to connect. Meaning that the value, for a warrior in mostly 10 and 25 man epics (which would be about the gear level you're looking at to get those stats) would be 10/65*1000 or about 154 AP over time. Obviously the more hit and crit you have, the better it gets.

Worth noting that on Loatheb, the value is closer to 190.

Also, for faster attacking classes (like enh shaman or rogues) it probably has slightly more value because of the speed at which they can put out attacks.

Comment by 282057

As of Patch 3.0.8 this will only proc from melee critical strikes.
So me being a hunter I wasted 40 Emblems of Heroism? Nice...

edit: didn't see this has already been posted, sorry

Comment by awpti

I don't know if I just have trash luck or what, but I've dropped over 600 crits and this thing has not proc'd once.

EDIT:

As posted elsewhere, simply re-equip this item if it's not working. It'll start working right away.

Comment by vmega

What aboout if u equip it twice? 1) Can both give that boost to AP or the 2nd one isnt working &
2) If they can both work can they STACK?

Comment by 179945

Since 3.0.8 the tooltip has now been changed to read:

Equip:Chance on melee critical strike to increase your attack power by 1000 for 10 secs.

As a hunter who went and spent a whole bunch of emblems on this i was pretty annoyed that it appeard to have been made into a melee only trinket. I contacted a GM and he asured me that it would still proc with ranged.

Comment by 308325

Initial tests seems to show that using both this and Anvil of titans which has an identical proc effect does in fact double the times it procs, though it does not stack.

Running 4 five minute tests showed that when using one of them I got an average proc rate of once per minute, while using both procced around twice a minute if not slightly more than that.

Comment by 274504

Here's a link to the blue post by Ghostcrawler confirming that the tooltip is a typo. Always good to see it from an official source.

Comment by 109530

There are two main issues I see a lot of people posting about with regards to this trinket and others like it. A lot of this information is on different pages or not easy to find, so I thought it'd be a good idea to post this in plain view.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
To save a lot of people time and energy asking and being down-ranked for it, I'd like to cover the subject of stacking trinket effects:

Most trinkets with proc effects do stack with on-use trinkets and effects .

Also, there are only a few cases where a proc from one trinket will not stack with a proc from another trinket.

Two trinkets with on-use effects will not stack, and the second trinket will only be applicable after the first trinket's effect has faded (with only a handful of exceptions).

Please note that there are exceptions to each of these rules, although they are rare.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

On the subject of the misleading tooltip:

Confirmed by Ghostcrawler (Blizzard poster):

The Mirror of Truth has NOT changed.

We tried to clean up the tooltip to make it clear that it wasn't spells that proc the item. Both melee and ranged attacks will proc it. Sorry for the confusion.

My personal test (which I also recorded with WWS, Recount, and Recap to ensure accuracy) yielded these results:

After a test of 10,000 Auto Shots on a dummy, it is confirmed that the proc is still triggered on ranged criticals, the rate is still 10%, and every proc is followed by a 30-second internal cooldown.

The behavior of the trinket is the same as in 3.0.3.

On a personal note, I hope Blizzard intends to correct the tooltip in the next patch to reflect that it's restricted to all physical critical strikes.

Comment by farble1670

the thing i don't think people consider with chance on proc trinks is the unpredictability of when it procs. what if i get my proc at the end of a fight? what if it procs at a point when i need to move away from the target to avoid some particular damage? 10 seconds isn't a lot. the proc is going to be wasted a good amount of the time. it's worse when it's a low proc rate / high +dmg like this trinket.

for example, compare this to sphere of the red dragon's blood, a drop from h-nexus. it has passive +55 hit which is better than the +crit on mirror of truth in most cases. it has +670AP on use for 20s, meaning, use it when you know you'll be on the boss for 20s. it's duration is 2x as long as mirror of truth so per proc / use it's better (670 over 20s vs 1000 over 10s). the only question is the proc rate. a rogue above quoted it at around every 70s for mirror of truth. if so, that'd made mirror of truth about 1.5x as powerful a red dragon's blood w/ regard to AP. having used mirror of truth on a DK with about 30% crit, i didn't see anything close to that proc rate on mirror of truth.

i purchased mirror of truth pre-3.0.8 when the text read that it procs on any crit, where it actually only procs on melee / ranged crit (the text was corrected). as an unholy DK, a good portion of damage is coming from AOE spells, dots, and spell attacks. that might explain the low proc rate for me. if it did proc on any crit, it would be amazing.

because the text didn't match the actual behavior i was able to get a GM to let me "return" the trinket and get my badges back.

Comment by 23118

As a prot paladin, I can confirm that it procs from judgement, shield of the righteous, hammer of rigtheousness, and strangely enough, avenger's shield.

Comment by Heian

Right now the trinket specifies "melee critical strike", but I was skilling up crossbow on critters and it proc'd Mirror of Truth. So right now, it may say Melee Critical Strike, but seems to work for range as well.

Comment by 153244

As you all can see the tooltip of Mirror of Truth says: "Equip: Chance on melee critical strike to increase your attack power by 1000 for 10 secs." I've tested with my hunter, and i can assure you it proc at ranged critical strikes aswell.

Comment by Urish

OK for the record THE TWENTH ONE also .. this DOES proc of range, if you'd actually read the comments before posting one you'll see at least 5 different posts about how IT DOES PROC WITH RANGE a few people even provided a link for the OFFICAL post from Ghostcrawler that states it also, but just in case you missed it the first 5 times here it is again.

http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?topicId=14287248980&pageNo=2&sid=1#25

now before bothering to write a comment about does it proc or blah blah READ the previous comments, especially since there not even two full pages of comments yet.

Comment by 173067

I find it funny to see the tooltip of this trinket. It's like Blizzard wants to say that we are all tormented or something.

Think about it:

- Item name: Mirror of Truth
- Proc name: Reflection of Torment

So the reflection you see from looking in to the mirror, is a tormented one?

Any thoughts on this?

Comment by sponge

Is there an Internal cooldown?

Comment by 323788

It seems that the item does not proc along side with Mongoose... I prefer mongoose or berserker but after a 20 minute test of proc rates the trinket only proc'd if I did not have a Lightning Speed buff going...

Anyone else see that issue? Or was I being unlucky after 20 minutes to only see the Mirror proc once! I am a Enhancement Shammy rolling almost 40% crit when in combat...

Comment by 257044

regardless of the dummy tests i can say after 3 heroics i seen an increase of about 10-20 dps.....i bought this to take place of a green (Chuchu's Tiny Box of Horrors) so to be honest im more than a bit diappointed with the proc rate..

Comment by 293207

Anyone have some info on how this stacks up to Meteorite Whetstone(My current second trinket) and Fury of the Five Flights? Yes, I know Fury is better, but Im looking more for info on just HOW much better(Or worse) this thing is compared to those two.
This is from the perspective of a survival hunter, btw, though I'll probably be swapping back and forth from it to BM come Dual.

Comment by flymolo21

With this little beauty I've hit 7200+ ap when all my buffs on my DK are running plus the 550ap pally buff, it is sooooo worth running heroics to get the emblems to get it. I wasn't so sure if I wanted to spend the emblems for it but so glad I did. It seems to activate more often and without buffs I've gotten 6000+ap. And with Sphere of Red Dragon's Blood (drops from Heroic Nexus) I'm topping my recount dps for almost all heroics. Get it if you have the emblems. I can't do the math to say how much dps I get from it but I've been hitting 2300+ without pally buffs

Comment by 326719

can this and anvil of titans stack?or not?

Comment by 54884

Wearing this and Anvil of Titans ( http://www.wowhead.com/?item=44914 ) on my beloved feral druid i tried it out for 10 mins on training dummy:
Speed: 0.92
crit: 44,76%

606 attacks
312 of them crits

17 procs total

As they give the same buff, they refresh eachother rather than stacking.

Comment by 124899

I haven't done any measuring, but equipping this trinket for a couple of months now, I think I've seen it proc maybe five times. That's 10 of thousands of melee hits, and a whole lot of crits (a feral druid with almost 40% crit chance). Each time I was like "what was THAT?" oh, MoT.

DPS testing bears this out too, my dps overall is better with the Crusaders Locket even.

The Mirror of Truth is horrible, and I see I'm not the only suspicious that it's bugged.

Comment by 105397

Hi,

I would like your advice on which trinket to use when 3.1 will be out : should it be the Mirror or the buffed Darkmoon card : Death for a ret paladin.

Comment by 276218

To get the most out of the trinket, I suggest making a trigger for the proc in your combat text addon of choice to clearly see the proc and use CD abilities during that time. For example Rapid shot for hunter, Avenging Wrath for ret pally, your other use:trinket, etc.

The aura that gets applied to you is called Reflection of Torment.

Comment by AtraxAthenium

Do anvil of titans and mirror of truth stack?

Comment by freakeystyley34

As a fury warrior i've had an issue with this trinket (correct me if i'm wrong). It seems that when it procs it overwrites my battle shout buff, so that when the proc wears off i'm left having to rebuff battle shout.

I know that a pala's blessing of might will overwrite it but i was grouped not with a pala yesterday and my 5 minute battle shout would be gone during the first pull.

Anyone else experienced this?

Comment by Kiliana

Can anyone provide insight as to whether or not physical dot crits can apply this effect?
Something like a Rip or Lacerate crit on a druid or for those with 4pc T8 rogue.

------------------------------------------

Proc Rate: 20m on Dummy reports a 16% uptime (3m 8s / 20m), autoswinging the dummy for an hour gave 15% uptime ( 9m / 60m )

Feral
52.1% crits for the first test
49.3% crits for the second
0 misses/dodges/parries/etc

Comment by supercrem9

Ok i have about 30% crit chance without this trinket...but i do have Darkemoon Faire card: Undeath...I can lose one of the trinkets but i want fury of the flights so i have more attack power...what do you think is better this or http://www.wowhead.com/?item=42990.

Following Ulduar 10 and 25 Man runs. WWS reported a 15%-18% uptime.

Comment by 366560

this makes my enh shammy even more berserk ... http://www.wowhead.com/?spell=29180 helps too since it procs on mele crits :) and if my http://www.wowhead.com/?spell=59621 pops out too ... well - "he's dead John" >:)

Comment by 264923

So Mirror of Truth and Banner of Victory will never proc together?

Comment by Dghelneshi

This trinket will NOT work together with (from the Brewfest Boss). They both use the exact same buff, so they will NOT refresh each other and not increase the uptime of the buff, since they share the same internal Cooldown. Do not use both at the same time.

Comment by 404789

One day there will be a trinket that I win(my rolls suck) that will replace this.....

one
day...

until then ...

So Mirror of Truth and Banner of Victory will never proc together?

Yes they can proc at the same time. They do not share a cd.

Comment by 489369

Will this proc along with Banner of Victory ? or at least will they alternate procing, one time Mirror of Truth and then while its on CD Banner of Victory may proc?.

How affected are these two trinkets by enchants such as Mongoose ?

Im asking because atm I have both Mirror of Truth and Banner of Victory on my Fury warrior and I was pondering if adding Mongoose to my two, 2H weapons would be an optimal DPS boosting setup.

Allways something procing between enchant and trinkets to boost AP even further.

Thank you for all your help, and hope this is not a redundant question, but the few references I found didnt answer my question in whole, only somewhat partially.

Comment by 567886

This trinket's effect stacks with needle encrusted scorpion and lets me hit people for 12k+ :) As a Fury warrior, I need all the help I can get, until I get the gear. ;) I have a hell of a time deciding between this and Mark of Supramacy, and its vanity mostly...my gearscore goes way up...its annoying to see how many people appear to equip inferior items just for their gearscore, I annoy myself!

Comment by 551579

Is it just me or is this still one of the best trinkets in game? I'm a warrior in 245/251 gear and i still use this as one of my trinkets. I'm sure there are better ones out there, but if you don't feel like farming for them, just pick this one up. The new LFD system made badges easy to get, and I really feel like this is worth the 40.

Comment by sunsmoon

In no particular order. Not every one listed is an upgrade. While most are, a couple are downgrades and a few are side grades depending on your gear.
- Item Name plus link (alternative versions) (Notes)

BOE/AH:
- Darkmoon Card: Greatness (Strength, Agility) (This was 2nd/3rd BIS for Hunters prior to the release of Icecrown Citadel)
- Darkmoon Card: Death

5 mans:
- Needle-Encrusted Scorpion (Class Dependent)
- Banner of Victory (Semi-Class Dependent)
- Mirror of Truth
- Mark of Supremacy (Gear Dependent. Generally speaking, on-use trinkets are suboptimal. They provide less of a stat over the length of a fight, but they "make up" for that by giving more control over your burst/cooldowns.)

10 mans:
- Pyrite Infuser (Mildly Gear Dependent)
- Mjolnir Runestone (Class Dependent)
- Loatheb's Shadow (Worse then Mirror, but worth mentioning. Worth about 61 AP, where Mirror is worth twice that.)
- Dark Matter
- Whispering Fang Skull (Heroic) (Heroic and Non-Heroic versions cannot be worn at the same time.)
- Vengeance of the Forsaken/Victor's Call (Heroic VotF/Heroic VC) (Melee DPS only. You can wear one normal and one heroic.)

25 mans:
- Bandit's Insignia
- Grim Toll (Class Dependent)
- Wrathstone (On use trinkets are statistically inferior in WotLK)
- Blood of the Old God (Gear Dependent)
- Comet's Trail (Arguably Class Dependent)
- Death's Choice/Death's Verdict (Heroic DC/Heroic DV) (You can wear the normal-mode version with the heroic-mode version)
- Deathbringer's Will (Heroic) (Class Dependent. Heroic and Non-Heroic versions cannot be worn at the same time.)
- Tiny Abomination in a Jar (Heroic) (Class Dependent)
- Sharpened Twilight Scale (Heroic) (Class Dependent. Heroic and Non-Heroic versions cannot be worn at the same time.)

Comment by 46662

Note that as stated earlier, Coren's Chromium Coaster, which drops from Coren Direbrew during the Brewfest event, has the same stats as this trinket. Since you can pretty much chain-run Coren (his body drops trinkets with every kill) all day if you want, anyone looking for Mirror of Truth should be able to get the Coaster (during the event of course) without having to give up 40 emblems.

And since Coren goes down in no more than 30-40 seconds with most groups, farming this shouldn't take more than 10-15 minutes at the most. Unless like most of us you have horrible luck with the RNG.

Comment by 694072

Do anyone know if this "Chance on CRIT" (as mentioned in an other comment), stacks with the proc from Banner of Victory?
