Trinket Talk

Trinkets seems to be a big deal for everyone. Probably because they are so hard to come by. For each tier of raids, there are only a few trinkets to choose from, and there are a lot of people gunning for the upgrade, where as with other pieces of gear, there are usually alternatives that are, if not perfect, nearly as good.

So I thought it would be a good idea to compile a list of the most common trinkets, and my thoughts on them. I have excluded certain trinkets, those from Naxx and those dropping from the later parts of Ulduar, simply because these instances aren’t really that popular anymore, or because most random groups seem to crumble before you reach the boss that drops them. If you are still raiding Naxxramas and Ulduar on a regular basis, then no problem, but then your choice in trinkets is quite limited anyways.

While they have spirit instead of haste, they are nearly as good as the Plague Scientist’s Boots.

An upgrade is an upgrade, so don’t go tunnelvision against these items in particular. If you an upgrade your stats with a nearly-as-good item, you should.
