Trinket Recommendations for Augmentation Evoker

Augmentation Evoker currently prefers to wear passive trinkets, as the cooldown of Breath of Eons Icon Breath of Eons often does not line up with trinkets due to Cooldown Reduction effects. If you are using an on-use trinket, you can use them on Cooldown.

Currently the only standout trinket this tier is Gebbo's Bottomless Bag Icon Gebbo's Bottomless Bag as it performs excellently in all content and at all target counts. No other trinkets available this tier offer as much power or flexibility.

With so many valuable trinkets to choose from, we suggest taking a look at our trinket ranking chart below to get a better understanding of which trinkets are good.

Click for Augmentation Evoker Trinket Rankings

All trinkets are assumed to be Mythic item level unless a lower item level is specified for the sake of comparison. The idea is to compare trinkets at their maximum obtainable item level to give you an idea of where things are placed. We do not suggest using two on use trinkets even if the trinkets are ranked higher than passive trinkets on this list. For more accurate information on how trinkets perform relative to each other for your own character, please sim your character.

A "Tier" as defined by this list is around 0.5% DPS, meaning that S-Tier Trinkets are around 0.5% better than A-Tier Trinkets, and so on.

Ranking Raiding Mythic+
S Tier
  • Gebbo's Bottomless Bag Icon Gebbo's Bottomless Bag - Click for Details This is a very high budget stat trinket which provides a strong consistent DPS increase despite Augmentations poor secondary stat scaling. This trinket is very highly rated for AoE damage which makes up a significant portion of this raid.
  • Vaelgor's Final Stare Icon Vaelgor's Final Stare - Click for Details Despite being a trinket from Season 1 this is the best on use trinket for Augmentation this tier. If you do not have this trinket at 298 item level you will not be able to acquire it during this Season and will need to use another trinket.
  • Vexhul's Everflowing Gland Icon Vexhul's Everflowing Gland - Click for Details This is the best on use damage trinket available for this tier. This trinket will get some minor cooldown reduction on fights with adds which will help it do even more damage.
  • Mindpiercer's Sigil Icon Mindpiercer's Sigil - Click for Details This is passive trinket that has no stats on it whatsoever, instead having both a damage proc and a main stat proc. This is reasonably well tuned for Single Target but is slightly worse than stat trinkets for AoE.
  • Gebbo's Bottomless Bag Icon Gebbo's Bottomless Bag - Click for Details This is a very high budget stat trinket which provides a strong consistent DPS increase despite Augmentations poor secondary stat scaling. In Mythic+ Stat Trinkets relative to raid as the potent damage trinkets usually do not scale.
  • Fang of Umbral Malignance Icon Fang of Umbral Malignance - Click for Details This is a damage proc trinket leaves a stacking DoT on an enemy. This DoT does reasonable damage by itself but what makes it really powerful in Mythic+ is the extra effect on killing an enemy. These explosions do a lot of damage and heavily reward chainpulling monsters to let the DoT effects cascade onto enemies.
  • Vaelgor's Final Stare Icon Vaelgor's Final Stare - Click for Details Despite being a trinket from Season 1 this is the best on use trinket for Augmentation this tier. If you do not have this trinket at 298 item level you will not be able to acquire it during this Season and will need to use another trinket.
  • Mindpiercer's Sigil Icon Mindpiercer's Sigil - Click for Details This is passive trinket that has no stats on it whatsoever, instead having both a damage proc and a main stat proc. This is reasonably well tuned for Single Target but is slightly worse than stat trinkets for AoE.
A Tier
  • Lightspire Core Icon Lightspire Core - Click for Details This is a mastery proc trinket that provides a large boost to passive mastery, which is augmentations best stat. This trinket will proc a zone you have to stand in that provides even more mastery. This will always spawn on your head and is quite easy to see but you are not guaranteed to have 100% uptime.
  • Fang of Umbral Malignance Icon Fang of Umbral Malignance - Click for Details This is a damage proc trinket leaves a stacking DoT on an enemy. This DoT does reasonable damage by itself and is the bulk of the contribution in raid as you will not usually get much damage from the explosions.
  • Gaze of the Alnseer Icon Gaze of the Alnseer - Click for Details Despite being a trinket from Season 1 this trinket provides a considerable amount of passive stats and outcompetes a lot of other options. If you do not have this trinket at 298 item level you will not be able to acquire it during this Season and will need to use another trinket.
  • Freightrunner's Flask Icon Freightrunner's Flask - Click for Details This is the second best on use trinket available this season, behind Vaelgor's Final Stare Icon Vaelgor's Final Stare from Season 1. This trinket is good if you want to improve your burst damage on an encounter, especially for dealing with Adds or damage burns.
  • Drum of Renewed Bonds Icon Drum of Renewed Bonds (Hero) - Click for Details This is a Delve Trinket that can have its stats changed to proc any of the four types. For Augmentation Evoker, we want this trinket to proc Mastery. Use the trinket at the Jan'alai temple to get this stat. Note: Make sure to remove the trinket slot from any macros, as the on-use on this trinket will break your macros.
  • Lightspire Core Icon Lightspire Core - Click for Details This is a mastery proc trinket that provides a large boost to passive mastery, which is augmentations best stat. This trinket will proc a zone you have to stand in that provides even more mastery. This will always spawn on your head and is quite easy to see but you are not guaranteed to have 100% uptime.
  • Freightrunner's Flask Icon Freightrunner's Flask - Click for Details This is the second best on use trinket available this season, behind Vaelgor's Final Stare Icon Vaelgor's Final Stare from Season 1. This trinket is good if you want to improve your burst damage on an encounter, especially for dealing with Adds or damage burns.
  • Drum of Renewed Bonds Icon Drum of Renewed Bonds (Hero) - Click for Details This is a Delve Trinket that can have its stats changed to proc any of the four types. For Augmentation Evoker, we want this trinket to proc Mastery. Use the trinket at the Jan'alai temple to get this stat.

  • Vile Vial of Volatile Venom Icon Vile Vial of Volatile Venom
  • Ruby Whelp Shell Icon Ruby Whelp Shell
  • Font of Venomous Rage Icon Font of Venomous Rage - Click for Details This is a channeled on use trinket that deals a large burst of damage upon being used. This trinket is currently undertuned and does not contribute enough damage to outweigh the fact that its a channeled trinket on a very long cooldown, even factoring in that it is available at 344 item level.

This trinket is the best performing Darkmoon Deck but like all the other Darkmoon Decks costs you an embellishment slot. The loss of an Embellishment is equivalent to losing ~1% DPS dropping this trinket from A tier to C tier.
  • Hex Lord's Dooming Idol Icon Hex Lord's Dooming Idol - Click for Details This is an interesting on use trinket that has a ramping negative main stat debuff. When you use the on-use it will remove the debuff and grant you a large on-use buff. This trinket is currently extremely undertuned despite being obtainable at 344 item level.

Nebulous Voidcores (Bonus Rolls)

The Nebulous Voidcore Icon Nebulous Voidcore Bonus Rolls added in Patch 12.0.5 have been continued for Patch 12.1. These can be used in dungeons or after killing a specific raid boss, and lets you gain a guaranteed piece of loot from that dungeon or raid boss. The item you get is random, but you can not get a duplicate item so using it again in a specific place will give you another chance on the remaining items.

Midnight's patch 12.0.5 introduces two systems inspired by systems from previous expansions.

3.1.

For Season 2 we recommend starting with a Ula'tek centric Bonus Roll Strategy. If you use a Nebulous Voidcore Icon Nebulous Voidcore on Heroic Ula'tek then you will acquire a 1/6 Myth item from the boss. This is incredibly powerful as those items are all cantrip items and are so strong that they are only outperformed by the Elevated versions from beating the Mythic encounter. Additionally, as an Augmentation Evoker we can loot spec Preservation to remove one of the outcomes from the bonus roll, giving us 100% chance to get an incredible item with each roll, as the DPS trinket is undesireable.

We will perform this strategy by taking Nebulous Voidcore Icon Nebulous Voidcores from your first three vaults after the season starts in place of the items inside the vaults. If you see a BiS item that would otherwise be time consuming to obtain, such as a Mythic+ item, then you can comfortably skip the Nebulous Voidcore Icon Nebulous Voidcore that week.

Additionally, even if you do not clear Ula'tek in the 2nd week of it being available you can hold onto your Nebulous Voidcore Icon Nebulous Voidcores for when you do beat it and reclear the fight three times, even while saved, and use your bonus rolls!

After using your Nebulous Voidcore Icon Nebulous Voidcores on Ula'tek, another good place to use your coins is Vashnik for the Vile Alchemist's Band Icon Vile Alchemist's Band and Serpentine Mixing Belt Icon Serpentine Mixing Belt. You can go Preservation loot spec here as well to avoid Fang of Umbral Malignance Icon Fang of Umbral Malignance if you already have good trinkets for Raid. If you are mainly gearing up for Mythic+ then we suggest staying on DPS lootspec as the trinket is BiS for Mythic+.

After this we suggest using your coins to hunt for the remaining BiS list items that you still need.

Here is a short summary of the above strategy:

Voidcore (Bonus Roll) Priority
  1. Three rolls on Ula'tek on Preservation Loot Spec to get all three Cantrip Items
  2. Roll on Vashnik as many times as it takes to acquire Vile Alchemist's Band Icon Vile Alchemist's Band and Serpentine Mixing Belt Icon Serpentine Mixing Belt.
  3. Optionally, roll on Vashnik while DPS Loot Spec for Fang of Umbral Malignance Icon Fang of Umbral Malignance if Mythic+ oriented.
  4. Remaining BiS List items

Best Crafted Items for Augmentation Evoker

Profession gear is extremely useful for Augmentation Evoker in Midnight Season 2. Augmentation currently prioritises Mastery above all of its other stats so being able to select the perfect stats on crafted pieces is incredibly good. Additionally, you can use up to two embellishments in total between your crafted pieces which further augment your DPS!

4.1.

Best Crafted Items for Augmentation Evoker

This section focuses on crafting items in the most optimal order to gain immediate, efficient and effective power gains. Some of the items you make here will not be a part of your final Best-in-Slot gear list in the endgame and will need to be replaced. We will be crafting them anyway though as they are an incredibly effective way to get DPS from your Sparks and Mistcrests.

Augmentation Crafted Gear Priority
  • Aln'hara Lantern Icon Aln'hara Lantern with Hunter's Ritual Stone Icon Hunter's Ritual Stone. This will be BiS all season.
  • If you do not manage to coin Jan'thrazet, the Soul Fang Icon Jan'thrazet, the Soul Fang immediately then you can opt to craft Magister's Ritual Knife Icon Magister's Ritual Knife with Hunter's Ritual Stone Icon Hunter's Ritual Stone. You should only do this if you need power early, as your weapon slot is the single largest power increase possible. You will continue to use this until you obtain Jan'thrazet, the Soul Fang Icon Jan'thrazet, the Soul Fang at equal or higher item level and have another free spark to create an Armour Piece with Arcanoweave Lining Icon Arcanoweave Lining.
  • Highest upgrade Armour Slot with Arcanoweave Lining Icon Arcanoweave Lining.
  • Farstrider's Plated Bracers Icon Farstrider's Plated Bracers with Arcanoweave Lining Icon Arcanoweave Lining, removing the Embellishment from your weapon if you are still using a crafted weapon.
  • Engineering Crafts like Aetherlume Vision Shroud Icon Aetherlume Vision Shroud and Aetherlume Clonkers Icon Aetherlume Clonkers.
  • Any item you do not have on Myth track yet.
FAQWhy Craft an Off Hand First if Main Hand or Staff is higher budget?
We are opting to Craft an Off Hand first as we are assuming you are following the Ula'tek Bonus Roll strategy outlined in the Nebulous Voidcore Section. We do not want to immediately craft a Main Hand if we have a chance to acquire a better weapon the following week, and an offhand is the next highest budget craft available. If you do not plan on following this strategy you could craft a Main Hand first or even a staff.
FAQWhy Should Augmentation Use Arcanoweave Lining Icon Arcanoweave Lining?
We opt to use Arcanoweave Lining Icon Arcanoweave Lining as it is currently one of the highest budget embellishments when including the Primary Stat granted to an ally.
FAQAny Slots to Avoid Crafting For?
With the changes in how the Catalyst works with Tier pieces there are no slots to avoid crafting in, although you should still be somewhat careful over crafting in Tier Piece slots.
4.2.

Best Embellishments for Augmentation Evoker

Embellished Items are more powerful than other items of the same item level. This means that, despite not being the highest item level, they are used as a part of our Best-in-Slot list.

For Augmentation Evoker there are only a few good Embellishments: Arcanoweave Lining Icon Arcanoweave Lining, Hunter's Ritual Stone Icon Hunter's Ritual Stone, Darkmoon Sigil: Hunt Icon Darkmoon Sigil: Hunt and Prismatic Focusing Iris Icon Prismatic Focusing Iris. You will want to use these on your crafted items while filling out the gaps in your gear.

Hunter's Ritual Stone Icon Hunter's Ritual Stone is a new Embellishment added in Patch 12.1. This Embellishment can proc any secondary stat buff with an equal chance. This is a very powerful Embellishment as it grants a large amount of stats. This can only be crafted on Weapons and Offhands.

All of these Embellishment effects stack. Having two of the same effect will double the effectiveness of the procs!

Darkmoon Sigil: Hunt Icon Darkmoon Sigil: Hunt grants a temporary secondary stat buff when your spells or abilities trigger it. The stat granted depends on the type of creature you are fighting:

  • Haste: Elemental, Aberration, Demon
  • Critical Strike: Beast, Mechanical
  • Mastery: Humanoid, Dragonkin
  • Versatility: Undead, Giant, Other

For Augmentation Evoker, this embellishment is powerful because it has a very high uptime. This effect is completely passive and does not require you to play around it.

Important Notes:

  • The stat gained is determined by the enemy creature type, meaning its value can vary depending on the dungeon or raid encounter making this embellishment better or worse.
  • Many raid bosses and dungeon enemies fall into the Humanoid or Demon categories, which often results in Mastery or Haste. Haste is an extremely good stat for Augmentation Evoker while Mastery is worse so this Embellishment can swing quite wildly in power depending on the boss.
  • We recommend removing this embellishment as soon as you can create your third Crafted Item due to the inconsistency in which stat you will receive.

Arcanoweave Lining Icon Arcanoweave Lining has a chance to summon a Mana Wyrm that grants Arcanoweave Insight Icon Arcanoweave Insight to you and a nearby ally. This effect increases the Primary Stat of both players for a short duration.

This is Augmentation Evoker's best embellishment providing close to 1% DPS increase. Augmentation Evoker scales far better with Primary Stat compared to Secondary Stats as it affects almost all of your damage output, even Ebon Might Icon Ebon Might!

Prismatic Focusing Iris Icon Prismatic Focusing Iris is a single target damage proc embellishment that can only be crafted on jewellery slots.

This can be added to one of the two items:

  • Masterwork Sin'dorei Band Icon Masterwork Sin'dorei Band
  • Masterwork Sin'dorei Amulet Icon Masterwork Sin'dorei Amulet

Important Notes:

  • The damage of this Embellishment scales with the total types of gems you have equipped (Which Main Stat). Despite this, the increase is so small so we do not suggest equipping gems for Versatility or Mastery. You will want to use at least one of each Haste and Crit gems though!
  • The effect performs best in single target encounters, as it only damages one enemy.
  • This Embellishment is worse than Arcanoweave Lining Icon Arcanoweave Lining above one target while approximately equivalent at one target.
4.3.

Adding Sockets to Gear

You can add sockets to Helmets, Belts, and Bracers with the Miasmic Jewelbinder Icon Miasmic Jewelbinder consumable. You can get this item from the Vendor near the Great Vault for the tokens you receive when not choosing an item. You will need to hand in six to get a Miasmic Jewelbinder Icon Miasmic Jewelbinder.

5.

Crest Usage

Early on in the season, your access to crests is restricted by the weekly cap. During this period you will want to be efficient with your use of Myth Mistcrest Icon Myth Mistcrest and Hero Mistcrest Icon Hero Mistcrest. You can use these currencies to upgrade gear to higher item levels. We suggest only upgrading items that you will be using for a long time or in order of the greatest upgrade.

Augmentation Evoker Upgrade Priority WeaponTrinketsHelmet/Chest/LegsShoulders/Gloves/Belt/Boots

You will ideally upgrade all of your items to their maximum upgrades possible but it is very important early on to be efficient with the use of crests to keep yourself from falling behind your peers and remaining competitive!

Throughout this page and elsewhere in our guide, we regularly refer to the importance of simming yourself on Raidbots. This is because every character is unique, and each gear piece you have access to can change what is best right now for you.

While we do offer recommendations for gear and trinkets, these are not complete replacements for simming yourself. The only way to truly optimize your character to that degree is by making use of the tools available!
