Trinket Tuning Incoming on the Weekly Reset

Posted 2024/09/30 at 7:02 PM by Squishei

Now that we have more performance data from Season 1 to work from, during scheduled weekly maintenance on October 1, we’ll adjust some underperforming raid and dungeon items.

Items

Aberrant Spellforge damage and Haste effects increased by 5%.
Ovi’nax’s Mercurial Egg effects increased by 5%.
Throngus’s Finger dodge increased by 25%.
Overclocked Gear-a-Rang Launcher damage increased by 5%.
Twin Fang Instruments damage increased by 10%.
High Speaker’s Accretion intellect effect increased by 25%.

We feel that these changes bring us very close to our overall goal for how items will perform throughout the remainder of this season.

LET"S GO! /sComment by lgir627It's good to see them buffing bad ones rather than nerfing good ones!Comment by AmmertossThey learned? They buffed under performer instead of nerfing over performer?Comment by NiccoloMWhether IRL or in game, helping the poor performers is always better than nerfing the great performers.Comment by spartany25I like this change very much. Instead of nerfing the top trinkets, which r cool and fun to play with, they buffed the bottom ones. A rare W for Blizz.Comment by Sneakybeakywow i was 100% expecting a spymasters nerf and another sac nerf. i like this much betterComment by GodsFaithbuff dungeon trinketsComment by TastelikelemonOnly Mercurial Egg is worth among those , all the rest are mostly filler trinkets.Comment by Meteorpandal like the fake ara egg so this is a winComment by TheGoldenElmWow, buffing is not what I expected. Nice!Comment by Chr1st0phI eagerly await somebody else to tell me whether this means they're viable or not.Comment by lovelywazNow that we have more performance data from Season 1 to work fromComment by deadmesiahdelve trinkets was pretty good but blizzard then adjusted them and you see how they are now never quite understood how they justify like 2 trinkets being bis and then dumping every other trinket. Why even have other trinkets no one wants to use worse itemsComment by polksc33Almost 90% trinkets are not passive, and 90% of all trinkets are garbage.Comment by BrimzThey learned? They buffed under performer instead of nerfing over performer?Comment by EisleybandHigh Speaker’s Accretion intellect effect increased by 25%.

Hmm. I feel that's not enough. The intellect gained was paltry and now I think it's disappointing. A modest improvement. Mind you, I did receive this on a healer and while it does account for a huge percentage of my damage, I don't know if the intellect gained is yet worth it to keep.
