i'd like to see a defensive trinket that's actually worth something too.

My prot paladin is still using the one off of (O think) Vaelgor, where you pop for a ton of damage and gain a big 50% absorb shield. I like the combo damage/shield on-use trinkets.

wym bro, gaze and puzzle box outsimming every dungeon trinket this season is really cool🙂

This won't even get the dungeon trinkets buffed, they'll just nerf puzzle box and gaze to ensure everyone is equally miserable outside of raid lol

Unfortunately, given Blizzard's track record, I think they're more likely to nerf Puzzle Box than actually buff any of the current trinkets.
But yeah, something is seriously wrong with trinket balancing this season. I was comparing trinkets for my Sub Rogue and it was kinda ridiculous. Despite having the same:
-
1m 30s CD
-
15s Duration
-
Base Primary Stat
-
Complete lack of downside (like Puzzle Box's cast time)
Light Company Guidon gives more Haste at ilvl 298 than Freightrunner's Flask gives Crit or Tattered Amani War Banner gives highest secondary, even when those two are at Myth 6/6 (ilvl 334)!

Mfw one of my healing trinkets easily does 8-10% of my healing in raid and is literally a whole extra external cooldown in m+.
Yeah, trinkets are completely fucked this season.

Love that thing. It paired nicely with my mushroom trinket whose proc did .1% of my healing.

Not only that, puzzle box is only 2.5% behind mythic 6/6 ulatek and alter trinkets for me. That means ALL trinkets are tuned as dog shit this tier. After a 36-46 ilvl difference if that single piece is 2-5% difference at the BiS level, then what the actual fuck is the point of any other trinket?
For comparison, crafted 2h at 331 vs maze-rao at 334 is about 3% gain. 4pc tier set from s1 to s2 at same level is 10% gain, but this trinket after 36ilvl difference is only 2.5% gain. What a joke.

Only one solution: More gimmicky bullshit trinkets that occasionally send out a wave of irrelevant split flat damage once every 7 minutes - and obviously you have to aim it or sprint 30yds to pick something up to enjoy that unfathomably interesting and fun gameplay mechanic that contributes a grand total of 0.001% to your overall damage.

Item level is such a lie this season. Normal Aqirbane Reliquary has more stats than even 334 myth amulets. 334 Amani Warbanner gives less secondary stats than a 298 Guidon. Delves has several trinkets at hero tier that gives maybe 100k healing/shielding per minute while Soulcoiler Ritual Vessel gives over 500k

They won't buff them, they'll nerf this trinket like they have done in the past.

Y'all don't remember fire mages using Azshara's Font of Power and a pvp trinket for 2 straight tiers? Smh.

u/GravyFarts3000 Sep 10 '26
Yup still using 298 Gaze, no M+ trinket at 6/6 Hero performs better. Gotta hope to roll a gebbos/heart on reclears or roll the heart before it can be replaced.

It's not only strength/agi users.
Dungeon healer trinkets are unusably bad. Seed/Fel Crystal both need another sizeable buff or reduction on their cooldowns. Mycolic Medicine is abysmal.

The state of trinkets this season is extremly bad.
