Trinkets for Discipline Priests

The ranking system is as follows:

  1. S Tier: The strongest and most generally useful trinkets; these are always good choices.
  2. A Tier: These trinkets are slightly weaker than the S Tier traits but are still solid choices.
  3. B Tier: These trinkets are likely not worth wearing unless they are the best you have available at the time compared to S or A-tier trinkets.

Due to the large number of trinkets available, if you can not find a trinket in the list below, it is safe to assume that said trinket is worse than the available options on this list.

3.1.

S Tier

  • Spymaster's Web Icon Spymaster's Web - An extremely flexible and strong on-use trinket.
  • Treacherous Transmitter Icon Treacherous Transmitter - An alternative until you get Spymaster's Web
  • Gale of Shadows Icon Gale of Shadows
  • Ara-Kara Sacbrood Icon Ara-Kara Sacbrood
  • Unbound Changeling Icon Unbound Changeling - Set to Haste
3.2.

A Tier

  • Empowering Crystal of Anub'ikkaj Icon Empowering Crystal of Anub'ikkaj
  • Harvester's Edict Icon Harvester's Edict
  • Creeping Coagulum Icon Creeping Coagulum
  • Ovi'nax's Mercurial Egg Icon Ovi'nax's Mercurial Egg
3.3.

B Tier

  • Gruesome Syringe Icon Gruesome Syringe
  • Scrapsinger's Symphony Icon Scrapsinger's Symphony
  • Mereldar's Toll Icon Mereldar's Toll
  • Unstable Power Suit Core Icon Unstable Power Suit Core
  • Carved Blazikon Wax Icon Carved Blazikon Wax
  • Signet of the Priory Icon Signet of the Priory
3.3.1.

Spymaster's Web and Treacherous Transmitter

Spymaster's Web Icon Spymaster's Web is an incredibly powerful trinket for a variety of reasons. It provides a strong amount of passive intellect which ramps up in stacks over time to grant an incredible amount of intellect when you use it, depending on how long you let it ramp, up to a maximum of four minutes. The flexibility of this trinket is the largest positive. For Mythic+, feel free to hold it for dangerous packs/bosses where you are lacking in other output even if this requires holding it for an extended period. It's a fairly competitive trinket even just for holding stacks passively. For raid, you do not want to be macroing this to Evangelism Icon Evangelism or anything as there will be plenty of ramps during an encounter where spending your Spymaster's is not necessary if you can instead save it for a more dangerous/important moment of the encounter.

Treacherous Transmitter Icon Treacherous Transmitter, while not as good or flexible as Spymaster's, is a solid alternative for raid if you are struggling to get one. Keep in mind that utilizing Treacherous Transmitter requires you to play a sort of "mini game" when you use the trinket. You will receive an instruction to complete. You will either need to jump three times, run into a ball that is floating around you, or move to a specific location. Due to Discipline's high mobility during the ramp up window, we recommend you attempt to complete the instructions as close to the end of your single target Atonement Icon Atonement application casts as you can. In some cases depending on the instructions you receive, you can even delay the completion until the Evangelism Icon Evangelism GCD as well.

Crafted Gear and Embellishments for Discipline Priests

4.1.

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:

4.1.1.

Raid Content

  • Darkmoon Sigil: Ascension Icon Darkmoon Sigil: Ascension
  • Writhing Armor Banding Icon Writhing Armor Banding
4.1.2.

Mythic+ Content

  • Blessed Weapon Grip Icon Blessed Weapon Grip
  • Binding of Binding Icon Binding of Binding
4.2.

Crafting Strategy

Due to the increased cost of Enchanted Crests with The War Within, it is highly recommended to only use one Enchanted Gilded Harbinger Crest(Mythic) early on as they consume an entire week's worth of Mythic Crests to craft. As a result, we currently recommend using your first two Spark of Omens Icon Spark of Omens to craft Vagabond's Bounding Baton Icon Vagabond's Bounding Baton with Darkmoon Sigil: Ascension Icon Darkmoon Sigil: Ascension. For your third Spark, we recommend crafting Consecrated Cuffs Icon Consecrated Cuffs with Writhing Armor Banding Icon Writhing Armor Banding. Eventually, when Crests are no longer a limiting factor and you have access to a Mythic Main Hand, you can craft an offhand with Ascension.
