Best Trinkets for Unholy Death Knight in Midnight Season 2

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

As of November 4, 2026, Voracious Heart of Ula'tek (The Venomous Abyss) leads Unholy Death Knight single-target at Myth track (item level 334), 3.3% ahead of Zul'jin's Guillotine Technique and 3.3% ahead of Keeper's Seething Core. 27 trinkets from current dungeons and raids were simulated at 4 item levels each.
