All Specs

Seething Black Dragonscale - seemingly a spiritual successor to Wrathion's Humming Black Dragonscale in Ny'alotha, the falling effect is interesting and potentially powerful... though likely very circumstantial. It could be great if there are any encounter mechanics like the phase transition on Avatar of Sargeras or Raszageth's first intermission though!

Beacon to the Beyond - this trinket is fairly straightforward, though raises some interesting lore questions. We don't know who An'shuul, the Cosmic Wanderer is, although we can presume it is some kind of celestial being like the Constellar (Algalon, Rygelon, lesser designates). Perhaps an even more interesting question is what a cosmic-themed trinket is doing in Aberrus to begin with though...

PH - 10.1 Raid - Black Dragon Labs - Boss 4 - Dracthyr Evolution - Accessory - Trinket - Omni - another stat stick trinket like Castle Nathria's Stone Legion Heraldry and Vault's Whispering Incarnate Icon, though utilizing a new mechanic similar to Primal Ritual Shell; requiring the player to attune themselves to one of the Oathstones around the Dragon Isles. Interestingly though, there are only four secondary stats against five dragonflights, so it isn't quite clear what the extra buff will be - Algethar Academy uses a similar mechanic allowing players to pledge to one of the five dragonflights, granting either Critical Strike, Haste, Mastery, Versatility, or increased healing taken, so it's likely this trinket will do the same, although that fifth buff could be anything.

Ward of Faceless Ire - although you might think this is meant for tanks, it's actually a targeted shield, meaning anyone can use or benefit from it.

TanksWard of Faceless Ire

Fortified Dreadslab - looks more like a DPS trinket masquerading as a defensive one. Assuming each of the numbers presented are per stack, it doesn't actually reduce incoming damage by that much, though if you can manage to take enough damage within its short time frame, the counter attacks could provide a big payoff in larger pulls. The 2 second ICD makes that a little more difficult, most likely intended to prevent DPS from using it and instantly retaliating with all five stacks, though most tanks shouldn't have a problem with it.

HealersWard of Faceless Ire

Rashok's Molten Heart - isn't a targetable on-use, though the dual effect helps ensure that the proc isn't wasted by increasing the target's performance with some bonus versatility.

Melee DPS

Elementium Pocket Anvil - This intriguing trinket triggers off of a specific filler spell like Sinister Strike. Seemingly aimed at long raid encounters, its on-use effect ramps up the chance in two stages: a "permanent" increase until combat ends, as well as a more significant increase for a limited duration so that the trinket still has some value on short encounters.

Zaqali Chaos Grapnel - Charge in a trinket. Note that it seems to require a target, so it isn't as freely usable as Heroic Leap or similar mobility skills, but it's still probably automatic BIS for Death Knights!

Ranged DPS

Igneous Flowstone - it's not quite clear how fast these stacks grow and diminish, though the best case is probably 1 per second, giving this a 45 second cadence between effects.

Smoldering Lava Puffer - is interesting in that it requires players to opt-into the effect by activating the on-use, despite lasting an hour with seemingly no downside. Looking at the spell effect, the triggered Volcanic Heartburn has a listed 1.5 second GCD, so it's possible these proc will interrupt your spellcasting while vomiting "uncontrollably" towards your target.

Vessel of Searing Shadow - aimed at casters, healers may also find some use out of this trinket to both contribute damage and benefit from its minor haste buff.

Comment by BlightyI feel like Ward of faceless Ire should be a role specific trinket for either tank or healer. If everyone can wear one then decking your raid group out with that will be insanely OP for nullifying boss mechanics.Comment by jenraiAn'shuul sounds awfully similar to An'she, the tauren embodiment of the sun. A comet maybe? Or a titan that had a hand in the creation of the Tauren.Comment by GracelynWoWThe seething black dragonscale is basically the other dragonscale trinket reworked with different stats and the active of an avalanche elixirComment by frostfizzisWhy does the dk one get vers, while the other bunch gets an actual stat thats useful..Comment by SharkestSince more ppl M+ than raid, lets see the even better M+ trinkets now please.Comment by LeucienWeavrAn'shuul sounds awfully similar to An'she, the tauren embodiment of the sun. A comet maybe? Or a titan that had a hand in the creation of the Tauren.Comment by lovelywazLet's hope there's a debuff placed on the player targeted by Ward of Faceless Ire's absorb shield that prevents them getting that shield again for X number of mins. If not, then what's stopping multiple players in a raid team specially during progress to simply have chain cast it on tank for pretty much no need to heal tanks and also they can go full DPS gear/builds as well.Comment by firedogyOnce more, awesome dragon wings! - Hope you enjoy them for like 15 sec each encounter :/

...-When do we get proper wing cosmetics? D:Comment by ChanchiWhy does the dk one get vers, while the other bunch gets an actual stat thats useful..Comment by LemistioClass themed trinkets clearly needs a rework, it's astonishingly stupid that some classes get useless speed reduction, while others get damage taken increase and bleed lolComment by SchattensangClass themed trinkets clearly needs a rework, it's astonishingly stupid that some classes get useless speed reduction, while others get damage taken increase and bleed lolComment by KiezklatscheSo healers are screwed. Again. One trinket, that if tuned gut, every healer wants and otherwise DpS trinkets we won´t get because DpS will get them first. Thanks Blizz. Cries in still not having Whispering Incarnate / Diurna.Comment by WoodknockThere are no Old Gods in this expansion.Comment by Olympus3129Class themed trinkets clearly needs a rework, it's astonishingly stupid that some classes get useless speed reduction, while others get damage taken increase and bleed lolComment by Olympus3129There are no Old Gods in this expansion.Comment by ONCHEhapSince more ppl M+ than raid, lets see the even better M+ trinkets now please.Comment by TiwieTake a bite out of your trinket to vomit on your enemies. I like it.Comment by MazerRackhemThe Fortified Dreadslab tank trinket needs a rethink. Some tanks rely on dodge much more than others. Pallys and Warriors have block in addition to dodge and parry, DKs and Monks can't block but can dodge and parry, Bears can only dodge. Some tanks are also much more mobile with leaps, rolls, etc.

This seems to me like it's going to be almost no loss for Warriors and Pallys to take damage-wise while DKs and Bears are going to have to debate whether it's worth it given the downsides. Even if it is, it'll be weaker on them than other specs.

DKs can at least negate the slow periodically, Bears have limited mobility options without shifting to cat form, which is a no go when actively tanking.Comment by MazerRackhemThere are no Old Gods in this expansion.Comment by jenraiAn'shuul sounds awfully similar to An'she, the tauren embodiment of the sun.
