You have to place the pirate using your cursor, making this trinket useless in macros.

what a pos of a trinket

Comment by Catgirlpiq

Tested on my 630 ilvl Druid. Trinket ilvl 639

Ground target trinket, spawns a Pirate where you point your mouse, it will attack your target albeit a bit slow to swap targets (2-4 seconds)

Target Dummy test...
Swings: 13
Dps: 237k
Total dmg: 3.1 Mil
Crit: 15% (2 crits in test)

I can't speak to how good or bad this trinket is but you can macro it to make it easier to use.

/use 13
(or 14 depending on the trinket slot)

This makes the pirate spwan at your butt so I guess they come from Bootybay.

Anyway have a pun time folks!

TL;DR, just vendor this garbage trinket.

Raidbot's SIM is telling me to use my 613 Skardyn's Grace (2 minute mastery trinket) over a 649 version of this item. My first Delver's Bounty, what a freaking waste. About a 44k DPS difference between my 613 mastery trinket and this trinket, in favor of the 613 trinket.

I keep getting these!
Since the patch I've had a Veteran, Champion and now a Hero version of this!

Hopefully now I stop getting these and actually get something useful...

Not sure how this compares DPS wise to anything such as an active use stat stick like Signet of the Priory, but the pirates sure look cool.

Comment by globalmenace

For me, this trinket (currently 645) does pretty good damage. In a fight where the pirate is out for the full duration (≤ 20s), it does about 25–30% of the total damage. (If you divide that by 6 (120s CD ÷ 20s), you get 4–5%, which is a good average, IMHO.)

Of course, if you have macro’ed your trinkets along with your major CD, you should macro it with @player (or @cursor if you are ranged), otherwise you might cancel the target circle without noticing.

---

PS:

Here is a sample macro for slot 13 that works with M6 (and OPie). It will probably not work with Blizz’s default macro addon, as it has a more limited set of conditions.
/use 13

It casts @player if you are melee, otherwise @cursor. The spec/class list might be incomplete, doublecheck for your toon.

I just looted a champion version of this trinket, base item level of 639. I had heard that this trinket was not good at all, so I decided to test it.

(Also I don't know if I understand how linking items work on Wowhead, so forgive me if the links I tried to add aren't working. The two trinkets I am talking about here are the Candle Confidant and the Noggenfogger Ultimate Deluxe.

Class and specialization: Frost Mage
Item Level with the 639 Noggenfogger Ultimate Deluxe: 651
Secondary stats: 31% Critical Strike, 20% Haste, 17% Mastery, 17% Versatility

I attacked the single target dummy on the tower in Dornogal for 2 Minutes and 42 Seconds.
Overall DPS was 1.65 Million with 268 Million damage dealt overall.

The Blackwater Pirate that spawned from the trinket had a total average DPS of 92k.
Average hit for them was 396k for a total of 15.06 Million damage over 38 hits.
They hit 9 critical hits for an average of 654.9k per hit, and a crit DPS of 153k.
Roughly a 25% critical hit chance, but could be higher or lower, would need a longer test.

For reference, one of the recommended trinkets for mage is the Candle Confidant.

I ran a test of similar length with a similar trinket to see how they compared. Keep in mind, my current Candle Confidant is item level 655.

I attacked the same target dummy for 2 minutes and 29 seconds for an overall DPS of 1.63 Million, with a total of 243.5 Million damage dealt.
I will be separating the numbers since they are separate sources of damage.
The candles that spawned from the trinket had a total average DPS of 39k for Waxx, 7.3k for Wayne.
Average hit for them was 224k (Waxx) and 218k (Wayne) (I only had two candles spawn, the third candle, Take, did not spawn during this test) for a total of 6.9 Million damage over 31 hits.
They hit 6 critical hits (Wayne did not crit) for an average of 366k (Waxx) and 218k (Wayne) per hit, and a crit DPS of 153k.
Again, roughly a 25% critical hit chance for Waxx.

It seems that they have buffed this trinket quite a bit. Enough to replace my Candle Confidant.

If you get this to drop, I'd give it a try, not sure if it'll be the same for everyone, since these "spawn minions that do damage" trinkets seem to be either super good, or super bad historically.

This does a lot of damage in mage tower.

Comment by Blinkitysplit

At the time of Writing this Trinkets scaling is completely Busted in the Tank version of Mage tower.

Not sure what it scales off of but with Blood DK it basically 2 shots the Boss.
With Paladin, Monk & DH you still have to do the fight mechanics for 2min till you get the second trinket use.

Couldn't seem to get it to work in any of the Dps versions of Mage tower, just does average damage and you still have to complete the fights as normal.

Edit : Looks like the Trinket Hotfixes on 21/3/25 Fixed this and it's no longer OP in Mage Tower.

Simple macro I use for all alternates if they happen to get this trinket.

#showtooltip Noggenfogger Ultimate Deluxe
#show Noggenfogger Ultimate Deluxe
/use Noggenfogger Ultimate Deluxe

Comment by Talandriel

The damage from this trinket is logged in Melee Attacks tab at Warcraftlogs.

Comment by NagisaStreams

~~Does not seem to do much in mage tower anymore. Only did 2.1 k damage total for me while it was out. Yes I was using a two handed weapon. This was on guardian druid.~~

The trinket was patched, when the trinket got buffed it no longer one shots mage tower stuff.

Comment by KodokuTenshi

This seems to be Best in Slot for single target as a Retribution Paladin now.., completely outsimming fully upgraded mythic track trinkets like Eye of Kezan and House of Cards. Not sure how to feel about this, but if you grab one of these, use it - atleast for single target fights.

Edit: bad again. Don't use.

Comment by schnizol

Today my kills on warcraft logs had this item's damage logged not to my char as previously but as a separate "player" in main recount of damage which while doing damage "from me" wouldnt count to my log dmg making me do less dps, had to switch half-way thru - same case in other logs I checked from friends using it

Comment by KodokuTenshi

Ok so I first thought it was good after the buffs, but in real combat (not vs a dummy) like raid bosses it sometimes completely whiffs and does no damage at all for some reason. Or it only does 1 or 2 hits and then whiffs out. Not sure what's causing this, but probably best to still avoid using it.

Comment by minka25

According to sims it seems to be nerfed again after 25/3 balance patch. Of course nothing in patchnotes.

Comment by Syn0nymous

Trash trinket, why is this on the loot table for a healer?

Comment by V3rtige

I used to use it to help me in Delves, but now the /Use doesn't do any damage, so I disenchanted it

Comment by xLunacyx

At i639 seems to be doing around 4mil per use. Not worth over a regular stat trinket, though.
