Trinket: Quagmirran’s Eye
- This trinket is one of the only items available in Phase 1 that increases your haste rating

Note: The two-piece set bonus for our Tier 5 set has roughly 6% chance to proc, while the four-piece set bonus has a reported a proc rate of 40%; if you are interested in obtaining those benefits, you may wish to choose a minimum of four pieces. Keep in mind, that depending on what gear you will replace with Tier 5, your Spell Hit Rating may exceed 16%
