Season 4 of the popular game has some exciting updates on the horizon! WowCarry has recently datamined some trinket tuning changes coming in Patch 10.2.7 PTR, and it looks like there are some significant adjustments being made to popular trinkets. While these changes aren't live just yet, they are expected to be implemented before Season 4 officially begins.
Trinket Nerfs
A number of trinkets will now have a 1-second Global Cooldown (GCD). This change will affect the following trinkets: Manic Grieftorch, Algeth'ar Puzzle Box, Beacon to the Beyond, and Belor'relos, the Suncaller. Players will need to adjust their gameplay strategies accordingly with this new GCD constraint.
Additionally, there will be primary stat reductions for two trinkets. Neltharion's Call to Chaos will have its primary stat decreased by 6.4%, while Neltharion's Call to Dominance will see a larger reduction of 15%. These adjustments will impact player performance with these trinkets, so it's important to keep that in mind when planning your character's gear.
Players who rely on Conjured Chillglobe will need to adapt to some significant changes. The mana scaling with item level has been decreased by 44%, and the mana restored has been reduced to 8317 (from 25139) at item level 528. These alterations may impact your character's mana management, so be prepared to adjust your gameplay accordingly.
Trinket Buffs
On the other hand, there are some trinkets receiving buffs in this update. Manic Grieftorch will see a damage increase of 1.25% and will now be castable while moving. This change will provide players with more flexibility and options during combat.
Rashok's Molten Heart is also experiencing some adjustments. The mana scaling with item level has been reduced by 44%, while the Versatility scaling has been decreased by 10%. Additionally, the mana restored has been reduced to 2250 (from 6790) at item level 528, and the Versatility given is now 588 (previously 653) at item level 528.
Lastly, let's take a look at Fyrakk's Tainted Rageheart and Storm-Eater's Boon.
