Trinket Leaderboards

Best Trinkets in WoW Forever by Spec

MythicSim ranks every level 60 trinket in World of Warcraft: Forever by simmed DPS gain across 18 DPS and tank specs, refreshed on every build of the open-source wowsims Forever engine. 10,000 iterations per trinket, every trinket the engine knows, every spec it sims.

Ranked DPS deltas for every trinket a spec can equip, simmed alone against the engine's preset reference build with no trinkets worn, on a single level 60 target. Classic Era item stats until Blizzard publishes Forever's re-tuning. Numbers, not opinions.

What this is

Every level 60 trinket in the wowsims Foreverengine's item database that the spec can equip, simmed alone in the first trinket slot on the engine's preset build for the spec, ranked by mean DPS over a baseline wearing no trinkets. 10,000iterations per trinket. The delta is the trinket's contribution alone, with everything else held fixed.

The pool is the Classic one: dungeons, quests, professions, reputations and the original raids. On top of that Forever adds 7 named new dungeons (Hall of Thanes, Excavation Site, The Drowned City, Krol'dok Stronghold, Alcaz Island Prison, Blackmaw Hold, Shaper's Terrace) and two new raids (The Barrow Deeps, 10 player; Hyjal Summit, 20 player), none of which have published loot yet. Their trinkets join the boards when they reach the engine.

Refreshed on every wowsims Forever engine build MythicSim ships.

Frequently asked questions

How accurate are these Forever trinket rankings?

Each ranking is the mean of 10,000 wowsims Forever iterations on the engine's preset build for that spec, so the ordering is stable to within a few DPS. Two things make them directional rather than final: Forever's talent values are still being verified against the beta client, and item stats are Classic Era until Blizzard publishes the re-tuning. Both refresh through the engine build.

What gear is the baseline?

The wowsims Forever UI's Phase 1 preset for the spec at level 60, with both trinket slots empty. Talents, rotation, raid buffs, debuffs and consumables are the UI's defaults for the spec.

Are these Classic trinkets or Forever trinkets?

Classic Era items. Forever keeps original Azeroth and its dungeons, so the trinkets from Scholomance, Stratholme, the Blackrock dungeons, quests and professions carry over. Blizzard has said items are being re-tuned for Forever but has not published numbers, and the loot from the new dungeons and raids is not public. The boards refresh when either lands in the engine.

Why is there only one fight style?

The engine's default encounter is a single level 60 target for two minutes, which is the fight every Forever spec is tuned against today. A multi-target board follows once the engine's cleave encounters are verified.

How often are the leaderboards updated?

On every build of the wowsims Forever engine MythicSim ships. The engine build on each spec page is the reference.

Why isn't my spec listed?

All 18 DPS and tank specs the engine sims are listed. Healing specs follow once the engine's healer sims are worth publishing. Hunter and the Arms / Fury warrior board each cover their whole class, the way the engine sims them.

Can I sim my own character?

Yes. Paste your WoWSims Exporter character into the Forever Quick Sim and you get a DPS number on your actual gear and talents. Swap a trinket in game, export and sim again to compare two on your own character.

Methodology

Baseline profile

The wowsims ForeverUI's Phase 1 preset for the spec at level 60: gear, talents, rotation, raid buffs, debuffs and consumables as the UI applies them, with both trinket slots empty.

Iteration count

10,000 iterations per trinket, each candidate alone in the first slot. Enough to order trinkets a few DPS apart; anything closer is a tie.

Fight

The engine's default encounter: one level 60 target, two minutes with fifteen seconds of variation, no movement, no adds.

Engine build

Each spec page names the wowsims Forever build it ran on. The fork is verifying talent and item values against the beta client, so the boards re-run on every build MythicSim ships.

Not included

Forever's re-tuned item stats and the loot from its new dungeons and raids (neither published), multi-target fights, healer specs, and true paired sims. The pairings on each page are additive estimates from the solo deltas.

Sim your own Forever character

Paste your WoWSims Exporter character for a DPS number on your actual gear and talents. Swap a trinket in game, export and sim again to compare two on your own character.
