Midnight Season 1 Tier Set Bonuses:
- (2) Set Bonus: Your Blood Boil deals 8% increased damage and generates 3 Runic Power.
- (4) Set Bonus: Death Strike deals 8% increased damage and has a 10% chance to grant a charge of Blood Boil.
Tier Set Discussion:
Due to the (4) Set Bonus giving us bonus charges of Blood Boil, we should aim to stay below 1 charge, to not waste any casts across encounters.

Trinkets
The general recommendation for trinkets is to take one trinket that pairs well with our main cooldown Dancing Rune Weapon, and a strong passive trinket.
S Tier Trinkets
Gaze Of The Alnseer - This trinket provides more mainstat across a fight compared to other trinkets of a similar item level.
Light Company Guidon - Particularly good for San’layn, macroing it in with your Dancing Rune Weapon is optimal.
A Tier Trinkets
Umbral Plume - Provides gradually increasing crit or mastery, this ramps with your first Dancing Rune Weapon, and every other; making it a solid choice for a passive trinket.
Heart Of Ancient Hunger - A passive crit proc on a generally high uptime, completely passive.
Solarflare Prism - A passive crit and damage proc, the damage of which increases with each % of missing health of the target. In Mythic+ it can target higher HP targets, making it weaker.
Heart Of Wind - An easily farmable haste trinket, with a high uptime. This makes it desirable for San’layn specifically.
I have only ranked S to A-Tier trinkets here, as the B Tier trinkets and below underperform compared to their farmable alternatives.
Embellishments
When judging embellishments, you should always sim your character accordingly.
If you lack a Myth-Track weapon, and you have 4x Spark Of Radiance, craft the Blood Knight's Warblade with Darkmoon Sigil: Void / Darkmoon Sigil: Hunt.
Otherwise, Craft the following for Single Target and AoE.
Single Target:
- Spellbreaker's Bracers with Primal Spore Binding
- Spellbreaker's Girdle with Primal Spore Binding
- Loa Worshiper's Band if you have a colored gem, remove #1’s Embellishment
AoE:
- Spellbreaker's Bracers with Arcanoweave Lining / Devouring Banding
- Spellbreaker's Girdle with Arcanoweave Lining / Devouring Banding
- Signet Of Azerothian Blessings, remove #1’s Embellishment
Keep in mind that you can only wear 2 Embellished crafted items at once.
Arcanoweave Lining has been recommended for AoE, as it provides more group value than Devouring Banding.
Primal Spore Binding is damage-only, so it is a good all-rounder option.
Prismatic Focusing Iris and Stabilizing Gemstone Bandolier may provide more Single Target damage, but you should avoid crafting items without primary stat early into the season.
