Recommended Trinkets
Note: It is important to be wearing 2 PvP trinkets. This will give you an Agility and Stamina boost that will increase your damage and survivability.
Crimson Gladiator's Medallion is a mandatory trinket to have
equipped at all times. This allows you to remove any crowd control on yourself.
You will normally use this when you are stuck in crowd control and a teammate
is at low health.
Crimson Gladiator's Insignia of Alacrity increases your Haste and has
a chance to proc your primary stat. This is an overall strong trinket, as the
stat will proc often throughout an arena match.
Crimson Gladiator's Badge of Ferocity gives you Haste and has a
1-minute cooldown that increases your primary stat. This is great to use right
before you activate a powerful cooldown.
Crimson Gladiator's Emblem increases your maximum health when used.
This gives you an additional defensive when you think a team will be focusing
you.
