Emerald Nightmare Gear and Relic Loot Guide

One of the goals for Discipline Priests is to feel like they take the best of both Light and Shadow, and we (eventually) want to make both damage and healing role trinkets useful. If you got a trinket as Holy or as Shadow, it should also be useful as Discipline. We’ve applied modifiers to some DPS-role trinkets to make them usable by Disc without being crazy good in situations where area damage is very attractive, and Disc is now considered a ranged DPS specialization for purposes of trinket eligibility.

Several trinkets categorized for Beast Mastery and Marksmanship Hunters are shared by melee dps, others are shared by caster dps. The trinket list below notes which are affected. The trinkets categorized for these two specs are: Bloodthirsty Instinct, Unstable Horrorslime, Twisting Wind

Bloodthirsty Instinct is a trinket categorized for physical agility DPS, Ursoc's Rending Paw is a trinket for strength DPS.

This entire guide is beautifully laid out, but thank you in particular for the relic chart! It is very useful.
The trinkets have some very unique procs...looking forward to getting my hands on some.

Comment by Derrek32

Came here looking for screenshots of the various gear sets. Sad there aren't any. Title link is misleading.

Comment by AkimboYojimbo

Under accessories it states that cloaks no longer have primary stats yet both of those shown clearly have str/agi/int.

Response to comments below:
@Kal The paragraph in question could at least benefit from some clarity; as it stands the uninformed reader will probably assume that the stat won't be on the cloak at all.

@preistguy It's not simply a tooltip error in the case of cloak, I currently have equipped Dreamwalker's Cloak, removing and equipping the cloak clearly changes my agility by the listed amount.

Missing Havoc from the Shadow relic detail sections.

Comment by 1416971

Anyone happen to know if Ursoc's Rending Paw still procs for Agility DPS?

Seems kind of silly that it's classed as STR only for the purposes of personal loot, but I'd imagine that it probably works fine if you master loot it to a rogue or a Havoc DH or Feral or whatever.

It's only carrying passive Crit, no mainstat, and doesn't appear to have inherent class restrictions.. weird choice to treat it the way personal loot does, should really be "Any Melee"

Comment by Pandalishus

Bloodthirsty Instinct should probably be listed under Ranged as well, just for those hunters who don't realize our damage is physical.

Great guide! Thank you so much for putting this together.

Comment by Hordearmy

Thank you very much for this good guide.

Comment by datakey

There is a error. Mail armor, says:

Wrist: Scored Ironclaw Sabatons from Ursoc

But obviusly, it is not wrist armor, else are boots.
So it is unfair, why 3 mail boots and only one wirst? :(

Comment by Eskymojo

Wow, viable MM/BM Hunter Trinks choice is so poor, 2 at best in the whole raid - most of the "ranged" trinkets are only for spell casters and the physical ones bar one for melee specifically >.<

Comment by DaemoniKira

They should've made the corrupted dragons into a mount and added it to this loot table. :(
