FAQDoes Damage from Trinkets Work with
Atonement?
Ascendant and Nebulous Voidcores (Bonus Rolls)
With the addition of patch 12.0.5, two new systems for gear progression have been introduced:
Nebulous Voidcore's can be utilized to roll for bonus pieces
of loot from Raid bosses or dungeons. You will receive two of these per week
and it will cost both to roll on a Raid boss or only one to roll on a
specific dungeon's loot table. Which item you will receive from the
location you utilize these will be random, but once you get a specific item
from that loot table you will not receive it again. As a result, it may
take a handful of weeks/attempts to get the specific item you want, but you
are eventually guaranteed to get it with enough attempts.
Ascendant Voidcore's can be utilized to upgrade your existing
Weapon's and Trinkets' item level. This is similar to previous season's
Turbo Boost item level upgrades, except this is limited to just weapons
and trinkets instead of a boost to every item.
For more information on how to aquire these new items, make sure you check out our dedicated guide below:
Recommended Nebulous Voidcore Usage
The recommendation for using
Nebulous Voidcore will change heavily
based on the gear you currently have through killing a boss or the Great Vault.
Additionally, if you don't expect to kill certain Mythic bosses, then this will
also impact your recommendations. Our general priority will be as follows:
Utilizing Ascendant Voidcores
Utilize your Ascendant Voidcores on your 2-handed weapon or main hand first. After that, if you are using a 1-handed weapon and offhand, upgrade your offhand after your main hand. After that, you can utilize these to upgrade your trinkets in any order.
Crafted Gear and Embellishments for Discipline Priests
If you want to find out more about professions, make sure to check out our Midnight Profession guide!
As your ability to craft early season is heavily time-gated by both your access to sparks and higher tier crests, you want to ensure your early crafts are high value. The largest slot budget wise is easily your weapon. As a result, your first four sparks should be going towards a 2-handed staff in the vast majority of cases.
Embellishments
Embellishments are special effects that are either found on crafted pieces by default or can be added to crafted pieces during the crafting process. A character can have two embellishments equipped at any time.
We are currently recommending crafting the following two embellishments for your eventual BiS setup:
Arcanoweave Lining on 2 different items. Early on you can throw
this on any piece of crafted gear that accepts it, but eventual BiS will
have these on low budget item slots like Bracers and Cloak.
Adding Sockets to Gear
You can add sockets to Helmets, Belts, and Bracers with
the
Radiant Jewelbinder consumable that you can get if you do not select any of the choices in
your Great Vault. Not picking a choice will grant you tokens, six of which can be
traded in for the
Radiant Jewelbinder item that allows you to add a socket to the above piece
of gear, if you acquired them in Season 1.
Crest Usage
Early into a season when you have limited access to crests, such as
Myth Dawncrest, it is very important to be spending them in an
efficient manner. This will allow you to optimize your early season power as
best as possible. The following is a general priority list of what slots
have the largest power budget and should be a the priority upgrades with your
crests.
