Use Trinkets Are Annoying

Please make every Trinket able to be a Use or Passive. I absolutely hate Use trinkets, yet you put so many in the game, and we’ve already got dozens of abilities. Just make them “If trinket is set to use it will do this…” or “If trinket is set to passive it will do this…”

Yeah no thanks, I like to have control over one trinket usually for burst. Though, that depends on what other trinkets are available too. The sporeling trinket from Dragonflight was my favorite on use trinket.

You can always macro it to your other cooldowns.

All you ever do with them is macro them to CDs (besides the PvP trinket) anyway. Truly unique on use trinkets have been exceptionally rare since like TBC.

Active trinkets are usually off the global cooldown. You can macro them to one of your burst cooldowns.

Creeping coagulum and smoldering seedling say hello.

Finding a couple exceptions over the span of expansions doesn’t really help the case that they are in general way more boring now, but yes, I will admit I was wrong to make it sound like the no longer existed at all. I will fix the post.

I mean, most classic on use trinkets just increased stats too. I don’t think the ratio is much different. The new noggenfogger trinket summons a pirate reminiscent of the barov peasant caller.

Have you tried not being a demon hunter?
I have 3 buttons :slight_smile:

How to deal with this in 2 seconds flat.
Make macro that looks like this
#showtooltip
/cast [@cursor] Metamorphosis
/cast [racial if yours is like orc/troll]
/use 13 (This is ur top slotted trinket)
/use 14 (This is your bottom slotted trinket)
Obviously only do either use 13 or use 14 as you’re never gonna be running double on use.
Now replace your existing bind (meta in this case) with the macro.

Hope this saves you the hassle of adding another button to your already existing rows of buttons

Does Blizzard know how you feel? Maybe after this post they will fix it.

I have 50 toons, so yes, but I prefer the DH play style over all others.

What about class specific trinkets that trigger whenever we use a certain spell or ability? Have we gotten something like that already?

I want to say I’ve seen something like that but I’m absolutely not certain. That would basically be like a tier set bonus so it would be very cool and powerful, but unfortunately we’re also not likely to see many items like that because they wouldn’t be universal.

Part of me thinks Legion had them but I don’t recall any being specific on spells, armor items sure but trinkets idk.

I have garbagemancer, which isn’t bis or anything but it is fun to throw my trash bombs on enemies atm.

I am going to be so sad when I have to replace Mad Queen’s Mandate on my Pally…

I just macro such trinkets to my main abilities. If however they are trinkets that require ground targeting or are on the main GCD which prevents me from macroing them, then they get immediately vendored. Those ones can go die in fire :fire:.

Yup, we already have enough buttons to press; we don’t need more. I ain’t writing new macros each time I get new trinkets.

I remember wanting the ZG trinket from the heart of Hakkar because the On Use
would make my backstab so strong. After using it for a while I eventually switched back to Blackhand and Hand of Justice. I’ve always preferred passive trinkets … just imo.
