Gearing
We will talk about our stat priority and what pieces of gear you should prioritize obtaining. Gearing this season is very straightforward. When it comes to trinkets, especially, there are only a few good options.
Stat Priority
You want to prioritize your stats as the following: Versatility > Critical Strike > Mastery >> Haste.
Versatility
You want a high percentage of Versatility because it increases your damage and healing, while also decreasing all damage that you take. This is especially helpful against magic damage, as we can't dodge it and our stagger has reduced effectiveness against it.
Tier Set
Our tier set this season is very good. It gives us a solid damage increase and causes us to randomly proc Fortifying Brew. With Master of Harmony being stronger this season, too, this tier set is only made better.
Equipment
We will discuss what pieces of gear that you want to try and obtain for each slot, along with why. Keep in mind that item level is always the most important thing outside of necks, rings, and trinkets.
Trinkets
Signet of the Priory
This trinket is an on-use that increases your highest secondary stat by a lot, which is great for your Weapons of Order window. This should always be ran.
Embellishments
You should run Adrenal Surge Clasp + Crafted Gloves/Shoulders with Writhing Armor Banding until you get 639 gloves/shoulders. Then, you should move the Writhing Armor Banding to crafted wrists.
Adrenal Surge Clasp
This embellishment causes our abilities to grant us a large increase in Agility and slightly decreases our Mastery. This is very good and should be the first embellishment you make.
Enchantments & Consumables
Enchantments and consumables are very important for your character. We will discuss what enchants and consumables that you want, along with why. Certain enchants and consumables may vary based on your stats.
Gems
The gems that you socket into your gear depends on your own stats. Keep in mind that necks and rings can now be double socketed.
Unique Gem
Culminating Blasphemite
Increase Agility by 181 and increases Critical Strike damage by 0.15% per unique Algari gem color. You can only have one of this gem.
Regular Gems
Masterful Sapphire
Increases Versatility by 147 and Mastery by 49. Run this if you want more Versatility than Critical Strike.
