Best Trinkets for Assassination Rogue in Midnight Season 2
Every current dungeon and raid trinket, simulated on the standard Assassination Rogue profile with SimulationCraft and ranked by single-target DPS across upgrade tracks. Refreshed weekly with the latest engine build.
As of September 2, 2026, Sapling of the Dawnroot (The Blinding Vale) leads Assassination Rogue single-target at Myth track (item level 334), 0.4% ahead of Voracious Heart of Ula'tek and 1.2% ahead of Lustrous Golden Plumage. 28 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).
Methodology
- Profile: the SimC project's canonical MID2 Assassination Rogue profile (MID2_Rogue_Assassination.simc), with both trinket slots emptied as baseline.
- Simulation: each trinket equipped alone in slot 1 at item levels 295, 308, 321, 334 — fight style Patchwerk, 300s fight, target error 0.4%.
- Engine: SimulationCraft, current Midnight Season 2 build; the identical engine runs in this site's in-browser simulator.
- Raw data: data.json for this page.
