Mindpiercer's Sigil) as well as a good belt, helm and neck. - Murder Row: This has another good Mythic+ Trinket (

Trinket Recommendations for Augmentation Evoker
Augmentation Evoker currently prefers to wear passive trinkets, as the
cooldown of
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 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.

Nebulous Voidcores (Bonus Rolls)
The
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.
Recommended Nebulous Voidcore Usage for Augmentation Evoker
For Season 2 we recommend starting with a Ula'tek centric Bonus Roll
Strategy. If you use a
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 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 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 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 Voidcores on Ula'tek, another good
place to use your coins is Vashnik for the
Vile Alchemist's Band and
Serpentine Mixing Belt. You can go Preservation loot
spec here as well to avoid
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:
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!
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.

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,
Hunter's Ritual Stone,
Darkmoon Sigil: Hunt and
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 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 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 has a chance to summon a Mana
Wyrm that grants
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!
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
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 above one
target while approximately equivalent at one target.
Adding Sockets to Gear
You can add sockets to Helmets, Belts, and Bracers with the
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.
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 and
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.
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!
Evaluating Upgrades
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!
