It is essential to note that all of these items have Versatility on them.

I recommend trying Rated Solo Shuffle as Devastation has a high amount of initial burst damage, which is well suited for this game mode.

I'd recommend simming the trinkets listed here when you acquire them as it will not be an ironclad rule of what is BiS in every situation.

1. Spymaster's Web This trinket functions as an incredibly strong stat stick with an on use which should be paired with your final Dragonrage cast of an encounter, this is the correct way to use this trinket other than situations where damage amplification effects come into play on encounters such as the Silken Court.
2. Aberrant Spellforge Another trinket that functions as a very strong stat stick but with a little added flavour, the easiest way to use this trinket is to macro its usage into Shattering Star as the on use is off the gcd but has a very short cast time.
3. Mad Queen's Mandate Your bread and butter on use nuke trinket, passive crit with a 1 second cast for a very large hit, this is especially potent on any encounter with a damage aplification effect.
4. Ara-Kara Sacbrood Another trinket that is essentially a stat stick but with also a little added damage, strong in all situations and easy to attain at a high item level due to being farmable via Mythic+.
5. Gale of Shadows A Haste and Intellect stat stick, it will stack quickly and be maintained permanently just from the Fire Breath DoT effect alone.
6. Treacherous Transmitter A large on use Intellect gain trinket, has the downsides of being unable to guarantee which tasks it gives you, with some being far more detrimental than others, it is also a 90 second cooldown which essentially makes it a 2 minute cooldown for us as you would wish to sync it with Dragonrage.

Once you have obtained a piece of gear containing a prismatic socket or needing to be enchanted, you will need to know how to modify it. Details about these tweaks can be found on our dedicated gems, enchants, and consumables page.
