[Stan 5,240]

Some of the new trinkets that have recently become available for testing on the Shadowlands Beta are capable of one-shotting in PvP, and so Ion posted that they are largely untuned for the time being.

Here are the trinkets from Castle Nathria that you can test out on the Shadowlands Beta.

Game Director Ion Hazzikostas said on Twitter that the team's main focus are baseline class abilities, followed by Covenant abilities right now. When the pre-patch hits live servers, they will deal with balancing specific item effects.

How about them PVE trinkets on beta 1-shotting people in arena? Any word on them yet?

Trinkets are still largely untuned. The team's primary focus is baseline class abilities (especially since they're live this week), followed by covenant abilities and perks, and then specific item effects. But we'll take an early look at outliers that are harming play on beta.

Rather than tuning - just do the one right thing from WOD.... lock trinkets to their specific types aka NO TANK TRINKET FOR DDS etc. - or even better disable PVE-"Tuned" trinkets for PvP and ViceVersa. Would be freakn simple.
