Trinket Buffs - March 21, 2025

On Friday, March 21 at 3:00 p.m. PDT, we implemented hotfixes to improve many Season 2 trinkets. Most of these were cases where damage effects have not kept up with their stat competition as we intended them to.

Items and Rewards

• Increased the damage effects of most Season 2 trinkets by 20%.
  
  • This increase was applied to Junkmaestro’s Mega Magnet, Flarendo’s Pilot Light, Geargrinder’s Spare Keys, Mister Lock-N-Stalk, Zee’s Thug Hotline, Torq’s Big Red Button, Vexie’s Pit Whistle, and Chromebustible Bomb Suit.
  • This increase was applied to Candle Confidant, Siphoning Lightbrand, Blastmaster3000, Ratfang Toxin, Noggenfogger Ultimate Deluxe, Turbo-Drain 5000, Papa’s Prized Putter, Bashful Book, Ominous Oil Residue, and Goo-blin Grenade.
  • This increase was applied to Ravenous Honey Buzzer, Conductor’s Wax Whistle, Remnant of Darkness, Bursting Lightshard, Voltaic Stormcaller, Charged Stormrook Plume, Sigil of Algari Concordance, Ringing Ritual Mud, Gigazap’s Zap-Cap, Grim Codex, Viscera of Coalesced Hatred, K.U.-J.O.'s Flame Vents, and Razdunk’s Big Red Button.
• Mister Pick-Me-Up healing reduced by 10%.
• Tome of Light’s Devotion damage effect no longer triggers for non-tank specializations.
• Viscera of Coalesced Hatred damage now reduced for tank specializations.

Our goal with these changes is to increase the number of viable options across the trinket pool for the season. You’ll find them listed, along with other changes, in our next Hotfixes Update.

these are nice buffs, atleast speaking for havoc there are about a dozen trinkets that sim within .5% of the 2 best options , even at 665 max for the delve trinkets. so you have a lot of good options that are very close in terms of power

Once again, carrot on a stick gets forgotten. UNREAL.

This honestly was a shit job done here. It completely changed trinket sims for my class/specialization. Some of the trinkets I've been vying for are no longer worth the grind. Meanwhile, some trinkets that I swear I've had in the past but can no longer find on my item restoration page are some of my best trinkets.

Quit being dramatic. If you have trinkets that were BIS before, they are still within 1% overall damage now.

This change was good, since damage proc trinkets scale pretty bad, because the are only affected by versa. And sometimes haste, but that's rare nowadays.

This is why I never vendor anything until the next tier is started.

This was a thing in Season 1 aswell, i mean. Instead of being salty about, go test it on PTR before release - They have more data now when the patch has been live for a bit, hence the tunings.

To be honest, the balance team "could" just make a dozen or so preset characters and sim the new trinkets out so they don't have to do a magical 1.2x on most of their newly released items. So they either don't want to bother, or releasing them in that state is intentional. Doubt even doubling the amount of testers would change anything here.

It's the standard WoW thing of the PTR seemingly not resulting in much. It's easy to get salty about stuff that feels like it should have been fixed when people using the 'test crap and tell us what's wrong' service told them.

But it's also a small issue in the long run, equipment replacements come fast enough these days that's it's a minor annoyance in the grand scheme of the game.

Aren't there trinkets that don't even work for many classes. Like that Noggenfogger Deluxe one.

Noggenfogger's Ultimate Deluxe was nerfed.
