Tier Sets

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.

On-use Suggestion: Seed Of The Devouring Wild

Passive Suggestion: Sapling Of The Dawnroot

Alternatively you can play Resonant Bellowstone or Vessel Of Tortured Souls


Here are some other trinkets that are not strong enough to be farmed, but are notable enough that you should not feel unhappy about taking them into the first week of Season 1.

Embellishments

Recommendations are subject to change and you should sim your character accordingly.

If you do not get a Myth-Track weapon in the time it takes to unlock 2 Sparks, craft:

Otherwise, Craft:

  1. Spellbreaker's Bracers with Devouring Banding
  2. Spellbreaker's Girdle with Devouring Banding

Prismatic Focusing Iris and Stabilizing Gemstone Bandolier provide more Single Target damage, but you should avoid crafting items without primary stat early into the season.
