Tier Set Discussion:
The biggest impact of these tier sets is for Shado-Pan you won’t need to take the Communion With Wind talent to align your casts with your cooldowns but otherwise it is not very impactful.

Trinkets
Recommended On Use Trinkets:
- Best: Algeth'ar Puzzle Box
- Good: Light Company Guidon, Emberwing Feather
Recommended Passive Trinkets:
- Best: Gaze Of The Alnseer
- Good: Radiant Plume, Heart Of Wind
Embellishments
Recommended Embellishments:
- Craft Bloomforged Claw or any other one-handed Agility weapon Monks can use with Darkmoon Sigil: Hunt (put highest item level weapon in Main Hand slot).
- Craft Bloomforged Claw or any other one-handed Agility weapon Monks can use with Darkmoon Sigil: Hunt (potentially worth crafting for Off-Hand) OR craft Loa Worshiper's Band. The decision of which one you craft is based on the gear you’ve acquired up to this point. These two options are within 300 DPS of each other so either choice is valid.
Voidcores
Bonus Rolls
You can get up 2 Nebulous Voidcores per week in exchange for a choice of 5,000 Gold, 2,000 Voidlight Marl, or 80 Veteran Dawncrests.
The total number of Nebulous Voidcores available increases by two per week for the rest of the season.
Keep in mind that bonus rolls use whatever loot spec you currently are so there could be opportunities to switch to tank or healer loot spec if it would increase the chance you would get the piece you would want.
My recommendation for using these bonus rolls is as follows:
- 2-Handed Weapon: If you already have 2 Myth 1-handed weapons then you can delay this step, but you should eventually get one.
- Tier Slots: If you don’t have 4 piece, then you can go for this next, but you should be able to get this with the catalyst while getting other things first.
- Top Trinkets: Algeth'ar Puzzle Box and Gaze Of The Alnseer in particular should be your next targets.
- Other Gear: Once you’ve gotten all of the above then just focus on replacing any non Myth-track pieces you have.
Gear Upgrades
Once Ascendant Voidcore are available, you’ll use them to upgrade your weapon and trinkets. You should aim for your Weapon first if it’s Myth-track and then sim what trinkets you have that should be upgraded next.
