Darkmoon Deck: Immortality, Writhing Heart of Darkness, Unstable Arcanocrystal, Grotesque Statuette are all excellent defensively. 

I got an Arcanocrystal that proc'd 870 and with leech last time Jimmy was up, and I love it.

It's an absolutely amazing trinket, regardless of what spec you get it with. I've got it on both of my tanks and love it

is Darkmoon Deck: ImmortalityDarkmoon Deck: Immortality still strong enough to pick over higher ilvl trinkets? whats the tierlist of trinkets right now?

It's still very strong, yeah. I'd take it over most ToS trinkets at 900 defensively, but you don't really need it anymore. You can very easily run double DPS trinkets until Antorus.

Even though I don't need to I'm currently running a 930 Feverish CarapaceFeverish Carapace (which replaced the Darkmoon deck) and a 935 Shifting Cosmic SliverShifting Cosmic Sliver for my Druid.  But if I had like a 930+ Arcanocrystal I'd probably run that instead.

So, these are essentially there to not only rank the traits, but to help you with understanding how to compare different relics that have both been through the Netherlight. So if you are thinking of replacing a relic with a new one, but don't know if it is better when comparing the trait value, as well as crucible trait value, then you can use there item level markers.

Yeah, your setup is likely better as long as you can efficiently use SCS. It'll depend on fight length etc., if you can't use it properly, DD:I becomes better than SCS. 

You're running a very defensive setup, though.

very true, and a lot of times that SCS gives me that one extra Survival Instincts I need to get through the fight,  Also I'm starting to look at offensive stats/legendaries so I can put out more damage as well.

Yeah, as soon as you can properly get that extra SI, you're in good hands with SCS. It's just those fights when it doesn't actually change anything and you're basically just using a super weak stat stick :p

Ah ok. But why are there no defensive traits listed? Are they to weak compared to the offensive ones or am i missing somethig?

Defensive traits mean nothing for the item level of the weapon. They contribute nothing to the DPS, so they aren't listed. The buff ones are listed because they are still something you want, despite not just giving flat DPS increases.

Hey love the guide! Are you planning on making guardian dps guide? What stats are the best right now? And should I run with dps gear (not just trinkets) on mythic (non progress bosses) TOS?

AFAIK you stack Haste and Crit for DPS.

But do mythic guilds require tanks to go offensive or should they stay defensive?

Depends entirely on the guild. Are you farming? Progressing? Do your DPS parse well? Do they parse poorly? Are your healers able to keep you alive if you go offensive? Do you have a higher number of healers for your group number?

There's a lot of factors that go into this.

Why no info at all for best trinkets for Guardian?

I'll ask why and let you know - for actual trinket choices, look for the following:

These are all solid choices to look for if you need defensive trinkets. For DPS ones, you can just sim it.

...Sorry, what? I'm new to this but what do traits have to do with ilvls? (other than the first +5 ilvl traits of a relic) How are the ilvls in parantheses determined?

The effectiveness of the trait adds a certain level of survivability or damage to your character. The trait's net worth in numbers is calculated and compared to a set increase in item level of your weapon, meaning bonus main stat, stamina, two secondaries and weapon damage. This is then added in brackets.

Oh, so it's just kind of a rating; not like picking up a trait actually boosts your artifact's ilvl by some amount. I think I understand better now, thank you.

Exactly. It's just intended as a way to rank things when comparing different relics to see which is best :)

I wonder why there is no mention about moonkin shoulders legendary. It comes as the second best both in terms of dps and survivability on any cleave fights due to bonus 8 rage galactic guardian provides when it procs at 2+ targets with this piece of gear.

      Players in Dark Heart can embark on a short quest in Valdrakken that rewards a Personal Tabard  that is account-wide, but the design you create is character-specific.
      After completing the quest, you can customize your Personal Tabard at tabard designers in any capital city. Thanks to MrGM for the screenshots.

      In a recent Reddit thread, players shared their regrettable experiences with the game's infamous Black Market Auction House (BMAH).
      The highest bids often come with stories of disappointment and frustration, as highlighted by these popular comments:
      Reddit user MadsenAn regretted spending a whopping 700,000 gold on a Tabard of Brilliance, only to receive it from a Twitch drop the same day, calling the coincidence "personal."
      Redditor DM_ME_KUL_TIRAN_FEET shared a tale of woe about spending 180,000 gold on a BMAH mystery box, which contained a Goblin Weather Machine that they had already received from a Twitch drop just a day earlier.
      Sammywitchdr recounted how they spent over 1 million gold on a Swift Zulian Panther thinking it was the rare ZG Tiger from vanilla WoW, only to realize they already owned the panther from a previous expansion.
      Thoms689 was duped into bidding 1.2 million gold for a Tabard of Frost by a friend who was secretly outbidding him to inflate the price, a betrayal that cost him both gold and a friendship.
      Vitchman shared a frustrating experience with a 600,000 gold bid for what turned out to be an Ordos drop that was unsuitable for his character class, illustrating the risks associated with the mysterious contents of BMAH boxes.
      Caronry discussed a close call with bidding 5 million gold on an Arcanite Ripper, thankful to have been outbid, which potentially saved them from later regret.
      Sigilweavers told a comedic yet painful tale of bidding 900,000 gold for a Firelands mount only to discover they already owned it after winning the auction. This story serves as a cautionary reminder to double-check what you already have before entering a bidding war.
      MattyIce8998 recounted an almost regrettable bid of 800,000 gold on Frostfire shoulders, narrowly avoided by being outbid. They eventually acquired the item when it became craftable, much cheaper.
      These stories encapsulate the high-risk, high-reward nature of the Black Market Auction House, where players' fortunes can swing dramatically with each bid and the lengths to which gamers will go for the rarities WoW has to offer.
      Do you have any interesting BMAH story for us? Don't forget to share it in the comments!

      We'd like to introduce you to a game-changing nameplate addon for Season 4 that's essential for excelling in Mythic+ dungeons.
      Tracking every mob and their abilities in Mythic+ can be overwhelming, but this addon excels by replacing standard mob nameplates and cast bars to enhance your gameplay.
      Once installed, mobs with critical interrupts will display a thick orange cast bar, while less crucial ones will show a thinner yellow bar.

      Mobs with less crucial interrupts will have a thinner yellow cast bar.

      Additionally, any mobs that inflict heavy frontal cone damage are marked with an arrow and feature orange cast bars. A voice alert will also prompt you to move by announcing "front."

      The addon further assists by indicating non-interruptible spells that require crowd control with a purple cast bar and a vocal "cc" alert.

      For tanks, if you're not holding aggro, the nameplates of the mobs will turn red, quickly showing you which ones to target.

      There's also a handy visual cue on the cast bar, surrounded by a green border, signaling when you can interrupt an ability and your interrupt skill is off cooldown.

      Ready to try it out?
      You can download Quazii Plater here.
      For setup assistance, watch Quazii's comprehensive video guide.
      Quazii has also created a Mythic+ cheatsheet that details all critical abilities for Season 4 dungeons, available in a text format.

      Players are currently unable to catalyze gear from the Black Temple Timewalking cache into class set piece.
      It's unclear whether this limitation is a bug or an intended feature, but the gear obtained from completing this week's Black Temple Timewalking quest cannot be converted into a set piece using the Revival Catalyst, as reported on Reddit.
      I personally checked this at Antuka and can confirm that gear from the weekly quest cache cannot be catalyzed. I received the Grips of Damnation from the Essence boss yesterday, and found that the item was ineligible for conversion at the Catalyst.
