This Trinket Tier List is for trinkets that are used for Single Target/Raiding Purposes.

• Eye of Kezan is the best trinket for all content you will be doing in Season 2. It will give you stacking amounts of Strength and once it reaches max stacks it will deal damage instead of gaining more stacks.

• Mister Lock-N-Stalk this trinket deals high amounts of single target damage which is great for a majority of raid encounters.
• Improvised Seaforium Pacemaker synergises with Templar as you will trigger a lot of effects which in turn means the effect will extend a lot of times. Having this effect at a 50% uptime makes this trinket very potent.
• House of Cards provides a large amount of Mastery on use and can quite powerful for increasing the effectiveness of your Consecration or simply giving a short burst of additional Attack Power. This increases in power on longer encounters as the minimum effect increases per cast.
• Signet of the Priory increases your highest secondary stat significantly on a 2 minute cooldown. This also buffs nearby players who also have the trinket equipped.

Zee's Thug Hotline will passively summon adds which deal damage to your target. When you have Bloodlust active multiple adds will spawn.

Reverb Radio gives you a stacking Haste buff. At 5 stacks the effect will be doubled for 15 seconds and then reset.

• Ravenous Honey Buzzer this trinket does great damage but has a downside for tanks. It will fly into your nearest target which can be to the side. This will rotate your chracter (this means you will not be able to block/parry/dodge attacks from enemies behind you). In Raiding Scenarios this is unlikely to happen as typically the boss will be your closest target.
• Remnant of Darkness has no stats on the trinket but it will passively increase your primary stat when it triggers. On average this trinket will give you more Strength than other trinkets, however the strength bonus will reset once it reaches 5 stacks (and deals AoE damage).

• Vexie's Pit Whistle is a 1.5 minute on use trinket which deals AoE damage to enemies nearby and increases the threat you generate. Threat typically is not an issue in raiding and trinkets which deal more damage would be more effective at solving this issue.
• Geargrinder's Spare Keys - AoE damage on a 2 minute cooldown.

• Chromebustible Bomb Suit is both a Haste stat stick and a powerful on use trinket. This will be used in scenarios where you need more defensive cooldown frequency than just Ardent Defender.

Tome of Light's Devotion will gain stacks when you are attacked. Each stack gives you additional armor and a magic absorb shield, once you reach 50 stacks it will change to giving you Critical Strike rating and allowing your abilities to deal Holy Damage. A great hybrid trinket option.

• Scrapfield 9001 is a kind of cheat death trinket. It triggers at 60% HP which will happen fairly rotationally but also has a 30 second cooldown. With this in mind it becomes an almost 50% uptime absorb trinket, however due to the nature of raid tanking you will have prolonged periods of not taking any damage. This is offset partially by the secondary effect of the trinket which is when you don't trigger the effect for 20 seconds you will gain Haste.
• Cinderbrew Stein will give you and nearby players a primary stat buff at aproximately 50% uptime, however the trinket itself does not offer any primary stat. This gives it value in the support space where you can buff other DPS players. When this effect triggers you will gain an absorb shield. You will also trigger this effect on yourself if you fall below 50% HP (1 minute cooldown).

This Trinket Tier List is for trinkets that are used for AoE Purposes in M+/Delves/Raiding.

• Vexie's Pit Whistle is a 1.5 minute on use trinket which deals AoE damage to enemies nearby and increases the threat you generate. While threat can be an issue in Mythic+ other trinkets will deal more damage and generate similar amounts of threat.
• Remnant of Darkness has no stats on the trinket but it will passively increase your primary stat when it triggers. On average this trinket will give you more Strength than other trinkets, however the strength bonus will reset once it reaches 5 stacks (and deals AoE damage).

With this in mind it becomes an almost 50% uptime absorb trinket. When you don't trigger the effect you will gain Haste however in M+ this will not happen that often.

This gives it value in the support space where you can buff other DPS players. When this effect triggers you will gain an absorb shield.
