Ovi'nax 's Mercurial Egg trinket

Wasn’t this supposed to be buffed by 5% this week? It has the same stats as last week. Perhaps the tooltip is not updated?

Anyway this trinket needs a lot more buff than 5%. If you stack up to 30 the intellect provides like 3.5k or so which is the equivalent of any trinket’s implicit stat by default plus they have the procs like 4k haste or something. This trinket is never going to work with these low stats. On movement heavy fights you are giving up all the main stats makes it absolutely not worth using.

The game has like 20 trinkets and everyone needs spymaster. Why is the balancing this bad? It just renders every other trinket useless. I don’t understand this kind of design.

All the trinkets that do like 100k dmg can just be deleted. They are awful when you do 5 million aoe pulls.

Where are the tradicional trinkets like crit implicit intellect proc/onuse. haste/mastery implicit main stat proc/on use. main stat implicit secondary stack. These are the only trinkets the game needs. (I know there is like one of this but give all variation).

What does the USE function even do, to suspend it…? Keep the primary stat buff while moving?

Wowhead has zero comments on the trinket.

It locks your current buffs for 20 seconds, regardless of moving or standing still. It won’t shift between INT and haste and you keep that 20 seconds. When you stand still, you gain INT, but lose haste. When you move, you gain haste, but lose INT. It divides those 30 stacks between the two stats. Using the trinket locks that shifting for 20 seconds.

Small correction: moving buff isn’t just haste, it’s your highest stat

Just got this as it simmed well for me but it feels underwhelming and adds yet another thing to micro manage :triumph:

In high movement fights it just a huge loss based on how much primary stat is worth over secondary….

I think it needs a stock chunk of primary stat AS WELL as the micro management bit tbh
