Best Trinkets for Affliction Warlock in Midnight Season 2

Every current dungeon and raid trinket, simulated on the standard Affliction Warlock profile with SimulationCraft and ranked by single-target DPS across upgrade tracks. Refreshed weekly with the latest engine build.

As of November 4, 2026, Stormbound Emblem of Dazar (Kings' Rest) leads Affliction Warlock single-target at Myth track (item level 334), 0.7% ahead of Sethraliss' Defiled Relic and 0.9% ahead of Vexhul's Everflowing Gland. 26 trinkets from current dungeons and raids were simulated at 4 item levels each.

These are template-character averages. Your talents, tier pieces and second trinket change the ranking — sometimes a lot. For a decision about your character, run the free Droptimizer on your own profile; it takes about a minute.

DPS gain bar: trinket's contribution over an empty trinket slot at Myth track (334). Differences within ~0.4% are statistical noise — treat close trinkets as tied (what target error means).
