WoW TWW Season 3 Trinket Tier List - Best DPS, Healer, Tank Trinkets (11.2)

Patch 11.2 brings a new batch of trinkets for The War Within Season 3, and early PTR testing has provided a first look at their performance. Some trinkets are brand new, while others are returning favorites from previous expansions. Here we've sorted out the WoW TWW 11.2 Trinket Tier List to highlight the best trinkets for DPS, tanks, and healers across raid, dungeon, and delve sources.

WoW TWW 11.2 Trinket Tier List - Best DPS, Healer, Tank Trinkets in WoW Season 3

Trinkets in WoW TWW Season 3 come from multiple content sources: raids, mythic+ dungeons, delves, and special set bonuses. There are returning favorites from earlier seasons, completely new designs, and a few trinkets yet to be implemented or tuned. Some trinkets are based on passive procs, others have on-use effects, and a few are part of powerful item sets like the Voidglass combination.

Delve trinkets such as the Void Touched Fragment, Essence Hunter's Eyeglass, and Soulbreaker Sigil provide early usability with effects tied to secondary stat boosts or single-target damage with conditional procs. While not top-tier, they offer decent value early in the season. Meanwhile, raid trinkets like Perfidious Projector, Diamantine Voidcore, and Aras’s Ritual Forge stand out for their performance and synergy with cooldown windows.

Best DPS Trinkets Ranked in WoW TWW Season 3

DPS players have a wide range of powerful options this season, particularly from the raid:

• Araz's Ritual Forge (S Tier)

  Araz’s Ritual Forge is a powerful on-use trinket that grants up to 45,000 intellect over 30 seconds, decaying gradually. It costs 15% of your max health, but this drawback is minimal compared to the massive stat gain. The key strength of this trinket lies in its synergy with other cooldown-based trinkets or class abilities. You can activate this early and overlap it with another on-use trinket in the final 10 seconds, which works exceptionally well for burst-focused specs. Widely used in testing and described as “really good,” it comfortably sits in the S tier.

• Perfidious Projector (S Tier)

  Perfidious Projector is a hard-hitting on-use damage trinket that summons a squad to deal 8.5 million cosmic damage, split between targets. This damage scales up by 30% for each additional enemy hit, up to 150%. In testing, it dealt over 11 million damage without a single crit and up to 23 million when all five hits crit. It performs extremely well in both single-target and AoE scenarios and benefits from damage amp mechanics in several raid encounters. It’s considered one of the strongest burst trinkets available and is placed in S tier.

• Ara-Kara Sackbrood (S Tier)

  Ara-Kara Sackbrood offers a combination of stacking intellect and a damage effect, making it a highly reliable and effective trinket. It was already strong in Season 1 and performs well again in Season 3. This trinket is especially valuable in Mythic+ due to its consistent output and ease of access. It’s been described as a “solid intellect trinket, solid damage trinket,” and remains one of the top options early and throughout the season. It earns a spot in the S tier.

• Diamantine Voidcore (A Tier)

  Diamantine Voidcore becomes far more potent when paired with the Voidglass weapon set. The trinket grants intellect when empowered, and during this buff, it increases the damage of Voidglass Shards by 200%. Testing showed a 30–45% uptime on the intellect buff, and the additional shield and shard damage added both offense and survivability. While not as explosive as some on-use trinkets, its high uptime and synergy potential make it a strong A-tier choice, and possibly S-tier with the full set bonus.

• Astral Antenna (A Tier)

  Spawns orbs that grant crit when touched. Orbs stack using ironfur logic, giving high uptime. It’s a passive trinket with strong value and flexibility, especially in sustained combat.

• Screams of a Forgotten Sky (A Tier)
  Deals damage with a stacking gravity mechanic. It contributed 3–3.5% of total damage in testing. It scales better in AoE and longer fights. While not explosive, it’s consistent and could be buffed later.

• So'leah's Secret Technique (A Tier)
  Shares your highest secondary stat with an ally while giving you a larger amount of the same stat. This passive trinket is helpful in group content and performs well across specs that value secondary stats.

• Void-Touched Fragment (B Tier)
  Grants 30,000 mastery after collecting 15 void fragments. The effect continues to build while active, allowing faster reactivation. It’s best for mastery-heavy specs and is a solid early option.

• Soulbreaker's Sigil (B Tier)
  Deals passive damage and grants versatility when a target dies. It performed well in Mythic+ or cleave settings, contributing around 3% of total damage.

• Miniscule Mailemental in an Envelope (B Tier)
  Returning from Tazavesh, this trinket offers decent damage. It was described as probably okay damage-wise, and lands in lower B tier.

• Harvester's Edict (B Tier)
  This trinket has a damage effect and was described as sort of mediocre. It’s usable but not outstanding, placing it in low B tier.

• Empowering Crystal of Anub'ikkaj (B Tier)
  This trinket offers flat secondary stats and stamina. It’s a solid choice if you like all stats, but it doesn’t stand out. It’s ranked in B tier.

• Lily of the Eternal Weave (B Tier)
  This trinket gives 8,200 mastery for 15 seconds on a 90-second cooldown. It’s a passive intellect trinket with an average stat boost. It’s not amazing, but not bad, and fits into the higher end of B tier.

• Essence-Hunter's Eyeglass (C Tier)
  Once extremely strong, this trinket was nerfed heavily. It now gives 932 crit per stack with an 8-second duration. It can stack quickly and refresh, but the overall impact is lower than it used to be. It’s now considered C tier.

• Incorporeal Essence-Gorger (C Tier)
  This on-use trinket grants 8,200 of your lowest secondary stat and deals a small amount of damage. The damage was about 1%, and the stat gain didn’t compare well to other trinkets. It’s placed in C tier.

• Sunblood Amethyst (C Tier)
  This trinket creates a zone that boosts intellect while you stand in it. The issue is that the mechanic is clunky, especially in fights with movement. It was described as “not horrendous, not amazing,” and is placed in C tier.

• Naazindhri’s Mystic Lash (D Tier)
  This trinket is either bugged or severely undertuned. In testing, the damage was less than 1% of total output. It’s working but not tuned properly and sits in D tier.

• Depleted K’sareshi Battery (Unknown)
  Currently not implemented in the game. It goes in the NYI column, and its effects are unknown.

• Azhiccaran Parapodia (Unknown)
  This trinket was not available for testing. It may function like Sackbrood, but without data or live behavior, it remains in the unknown category.

Best Healer Trinkets in WoW TWW Season 3

Healer trinkets in Season 3 feature a mix of shielding effects, stat buffs, and utility:

• So'leah's Secret Technique (A Tier)

  So'leah's Secret Technique is a passive trinket that lets you select an ally to receive a secondary stat while giving yourself a larger amount of the same stat. It’s been praised for its reliability and synergy in group content. Especially beneficial for specs that scale well with secondary stats, it offers strong passive value. While not flashy, it’s highly efficient and fits well in the A tier.

• King Saladar’s Oathbound Relic (B Tier)
  This intellect trinket provides a static mastery bonus. The intellect value is normal, and the oathbound effect is just extra mastery. If you’re a healer who values mastery, this might be a good option, but it’s not a standout. It’s ranked in B tier due to its simplicity and lack of active utility.

• Lily of the Eternal Weave (B Tier)

  Lily of the Eternal Weave provides a burst of 8,200 mastery on a 90-second cooldown. It’s a passive intellect trinket with a straightforward on-use effect. While the stat value is solid, the shorter cooldown compared to 2-minute trinkets slightly limits its synergy with some class cooldowns. Still, it’s a decent option and lands in the higher end of B tier.

• Healer Shield Trinket (C Tier)
  This trinket shields you and four allies for 4.7 million damage. However, it doesn’t prevent lethal damage. If you’re at 1 HP and use it, you can still die. It has limited value in high-damage encounters and is considered underwhelming. It lands in C tier.

• Cheat Death Trinket (D Tier)
  The cheat death trinket from the final raid boss performs poorly. It restores only 10% health and reconstitutes you as unstable void for 6 seconds, during which you must be healed to 75% or die again. It doesn’t grant immunity, and a single melee hit can kill you again. It’s described as the worst cheat death trinket ever and is firmly in D tier.

Best Tank Trinkets in WoW TWW Season 3

Tank trinket options in the raid are currently underwhelming:

• Codex of the First Technique (S Tier)
  This trinket provides stamina, 10% damage reduction, and deals a good amount of damage. It’s very likely to be equipped by every tank. It’s a reliable choice for all content and sits at the top of S tier.

• Pacemaker (S Tier)
  Pacemaker is extremely strong, offering overbudget crit and stamina. It’s ideal for strength and agility tanks that benefit from crit scaling. It will likely be among the highest-played trinkets for Season 3 tanks. It’s ranked in S tier.

• Ara-Kara Sacbrood (S Tier)
  Though often viewed as a DPS trinket, it’s also effective for tanks. It provides a stacking intellect effect and consistent damage output. It’s a great option for Mythic+ and is easy to farm. It’s placed in S tier for tanks as well.

• Empowering Crystal of Anub’ikkaj (B Tier)
  This trinket offers flat secondary stats and stamina. It’s usable for agility users and works fine if you’re looking for base stats. It’s categorized in B tier as a serviceable but unremarkable option.

• Raid Absorb Trinket (C Tier)
  One raid trinket provides a 4.5 million absorb shield, but that’s less than what Season 2 dungeon trinkets provided at lower item levels. It’s a disappointing option and sits in C tier.

• Eye of Kazan-style Shield Trinket (D Tier)
  This trinket builds up to 15 stacks and, at full stacks, gives a 100k absorb every 15 seconds. The output is extremely low, and even if it started at full stacks, it would still be bad. It requires effort to maintain stacks and offers very little value. It’s down in D tier.
