Primal Ritual Shell Trinket - Spec Swap - Change needed

The Primal Ritual Shell trinket is a really great trinket. It lets you choose between 4 buffs - air, fire, water, and earth. You can only do this at a specific spot in the Waking Shores. Air gives a proc increasing mastery, earth a proc giving you a big absorb shield, fire a proc to deal extra fire damage, and water a proc to heal yourself or an ally when healing.

The problem arises when you want to swap specs. The trinket does not allow you to have different buffs chosen for different specs. Any time you want to change specs you have to fly to the little spot on the map to change buffs.

Blizzard has done a lot of late to make it really quick and painless to swap between specs on the fly. It seems really counter to that theory of design they have embraced to required you to fly to an out of the way spot on the map any time you want to change specs if you use this trinket.

Please consider either letting you summon the turtles anywhere to change buffs or letting you set the buff for each spec.

It’s a similar feature to the Ruby Whelp shell trinket, as well as the Zanda racial.

I don’t think it’s a big deal personally, there’s a lot of 350 trinkets you can get from world content, and you’re almost certainly going to replace it soon anyways.

It is a really neat trinket though.

Why would you want to swap it from the damage proc? It’s nearly impossible to die as a tank currently, and you typically don’t want a long cooldowns random large heal proc. Switch to fire and forget the others exist.

It’s one of the low-key highlights of the expansion for me so far :slight_smile:

This trinket dropped at 389 for me, the mastery proc is 1455 mastery. Thats a huge boost to my damage.

The shell can drop up to 392 that I’ve seen so far.

You can try other buffs, until you realize the healing Proc is making up 10%+ of a healers Total healing in M+ with a smart heal that acts as a mini-cheat death and is the only answer <3
