These trinket changes will occur on the next weekly reset, on September 22nd. The buffs are for Season 2 healing trinkets, but there are nerfs to 3 of the most powerful trinkets from Season 1 that people are using across all roles.
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.
The following changes will be applied with the September 22 weekly maintenance:
Preternatural Antivenom – Healing increased by 75%.
Seed of Radiant Hope – Cooldown reduced to 1 min (was 1.5 mins). Healing increased by 40%.
Mycolic Medicine – Effect frequency increased by 33%. Healing increased by 58%.
Unstable Felheart Crystal - Cooldown reduced to 1.5 mins (was 2 mins). Healing increased by 58%.
Ruby Whelp Shell – Frequency of all effects increased by 100%. All damage reduced by 42%. Single target healing effect increased by 37%. Multi-target healing increased by 5%. Stat effects reduced by 50%.
Gaze of the Alnseer – Primary stat reduced by 10%.
Vaelgor’s Final Stare – Mastery reduced by 10%.
Algeth’ar Puzzle Box – Mastery reduced by 25%.
