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:
- Loa Worshiper's Band if you have a colored gem
- Spellbreaker's Bracers with Devouring Banding
- Spellbreaker's Girdle with Devouring Banding
AoE:
- Spellbreaker's Bracers with Arcanoweave Lining / Devouring Banding
- Spellbreaker's Girdle with Arcanoweave Lining / Devouring Banding
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.
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.
