Of the unique-equipped Diamonds, the Powerful Eversong Diamond can be slightly stronger when using gems of multiple colors, though this can be difficult to juggle during early gearing when sockets are limited. The Indecipherable Eversong Diamond may therefore be a simpler option.

Critical Strike and Haste are generally the best stats for Arms Warriors, so Flawless Quick Garnet or Flawless Deadly Peridot should be filled into every other slot. When using multiple colors to increase the Powerful Diamond bonus, use one Garnet, Peridot, and Amethyst, but avoid the Lapsis, since Versatility is not highly valued.

In addition to enchants, players can also apply temporary augments to their weapons, two-hour long buffs that increase their damage or statistics. While they last through death, these bonuses are not permanent and must be reapplied. Thalassian Phoenix Oil should be used for more secondary stats.

Several enchants present a choice between prioritizing Leech, Speed, or Avoidance enchantments, which largely comes down to personal preference, as all three provide only minor and largely interchangeable benefits.

Gear Information

Best in Slot Gear and Where to Get It

Before applying gems and enchants to your equipment, make sure to check whether there might be an easy-to-get item that is better than the one you're currently wearing!

Gear

• Best Flask: Flask of the Blood Knights or Flask of the Shattered Sun
• Best Combat Potion: Potion of Recklessness is the best combat potion, though it requires very careful allocation of stats to ensure Critical Strike is highest and Versatility is minimized, making Light's Potential much simpler to use.
• Best Healing Potion: Concentrated Silvermoon Health Potion should be used for healing.
• Best Foods: Harandar Celebration is the best feast. Personal food such as Royal Roast provides the same offensive benefit, but lacks bonus stamina.
• Augment Rune: Void-Touched Augment Rune is the best and only augment rune currently available in Midnight.

The Void-Touched Augment Rune is the best and only augment rune currently available in Midnight.
