It’s too powerful to the point where it’s driving all sorts of bad behavior in LFG. It desperately needs to be brought in line with the other dungeon trinkets.
Wait until you see the Spymaster’s Web and Unbound Changeling lmao.
Spymaster’s gives almost 40,000 main stat, which is probably more than your character even has right now. It’s BiS for like 30 specs, and it sims about 120,000 DPS higher than anything else.
LOL if you think Sacbrood is a problem.

conductor’s wax whistle is about just as good and nobody even talks about it… it’s also on the first boss of a dungeon.
idk why the sacbrood gets all the attention heh
because someone that did sims told them to think a different way.
I bet you these fansites if they gave out false information and told them the most garbage item to collect they would still gobble it up like pacman eating pellets.

Thing with spymasters is that it is a ramp trinket that takes a minimum of 4 minutes to build up that massive on-use effect. Changeling is also good but since the Sacbrood is also in the M+ rotation, it is a consolation prize.
Why nerf? Hunting for loot it’s half the fun.

Lol I’ve vendored like 4 of them so far, I just queue random dungeon and continue to get them.
Don’t need it or want 'em really, just do the dungeons for quests and valorstones.
I’m in PvP gear, need those two PvP trinkets for my bonus.
Signet of the Priory is also getting slept on.
2min CD giving you like 3400 of your BEST secondary stat? That lines up insanely well for most 2min CD specs. And even the 1.5min CD specs, like Arcane, seem to be simming extremely well with it.
But Sacbrood is giving me about 3000-4000 main stat on my dummy tests AND the 1400 haste (by far my best secondary). It’s just absurdly strong. It’s not just “tier list makers” indicating it’s the best trinket. It is objectively the best trinket.

Right? The tier sets next season are so boring for me at least let me keep my op trinkets

I’ve looted like 10 Sac Broods. I always hold them until the end of the run and DE them. That’s because everyone leaves instead of finishing the run and /rolling 
I don’t tell people I trade at the end, instead I reward the few who aren’t ditching.

Sort of like this chaotic neutral take. Like a loot trickster demon.

They probs will adjust it
By the time they adjust it, it will no longer matter. Sacbrood is outclassed by several raid and Mythic+ trinkets. Spymasters / Changeling will likely sim better for most specs. Also, there’s a siege of boralus trinket that sims substantially better on AoE (will be the M+ trinket of choice).
If Blizzard nerfs it three weeks from now, most people that care enough will have already moved on. There was a window when this was a relevant problem, and that window closes on Tuesday.

Cool character name/class/race combo but it bothers me irrationally that you have black hair and not light brown.
Sacbrood’s fine, nerf it and the next one on the list just becomes the grab, it’s not an egregiously strong trinket in the sims I looked at for Enh.
eh, but its also not part of the rotation so people don’t really care

Not to mention Spymasters is getting a huge buff soon.
Loot councils everywhere are terrified.

No it isn’t that powerful. It’s just the best trinket that’s available this week.

Isn’t it only DPS and only for Intellect classes? That’s not 30 specs…
Remember healers will take an effect penalty for using DPS trinkets, unless the Web isn’t tagged as such?
