Blizzard are coming in with another tuning pass, this time for trinkets. However, these changes aren’t for this week, but rather for the reset after this one. Blizzard also mentioned that these would be the last big changes to trinkets for the season.
We’re getting buffs across the board, with the exception of a few Season 1 trinkets that are getting nerfs, as they’re still being used by certain specs.
Players can expect this to be the final round of raid and dungeon trinket adjustments for Season 2 when making loot-related decisions, barring any unexpected outliers that may arise. This pass is primarily intended to promote a more viable niche for single-target healing effect options with a few more miscellaneous minor buffs as well.
In addition, several trinkets from Season 1 remain more desirable than we would like due to a combination of aggressive initial tuning and lack of direct Season 2 trinket competition in a particular niche (in this case, Mastery on use).
Given the later-than-usual timing of this tuning, we are announcing these changes a full week ahead of their implementation to inform player decisions and allow for feedback.
