Trinkets: These are all chosen for the ability of regaining mana which allows you to continue to cast longer and harder. This is so due to the picks of gear in this guide that push you to heal harder and faster by sacrificing MP5.
While's it's extremely difficult to rank these trinkets, it's more of a list of trinkets to get for various encounters. For most encounters, starting at the top and working your way down will give you the best results.

FAQ:
Q). I don't have all the best gear. Does that make me a nub?
A). No it doesn't. It gives you something to work towards so you know where you are to be on top of your game.
Q). Is this gear the best for all situations.
A). No. There are situations where other gear options are prefered. What these options are is beyond the scope of this guide.
Q). What about the Set Bonuses?
A). It's a question of whether they're worth chasing. I say yes it is, but only marginally. There are people who say ignore the set bonus and go for the Chest and Legs drop that give you better thoroughput.
Q). Is there something I should know about these gear choices?
A). Yes. The healing style is for when you cast Holy Light, Holy Shock and Divine Plea a lot. If you're looking to use a Flash of Light Spamming style, look to hit the haste cap and then increase your spell power.
Q). Is going for Haste/Crit gear the best way to go?
A). Yes, I believe so. The other option is to go Haste/Mp5 so you can cast more Holy Light, faster. The thing with these gear choices is for you to realise that you have to be aggressive in gaining back your mana. You'll need to Divine Plea constantly and go in and Melee during small breaks with Seal of Wisdom active. While this style isn't for everyone, it's what I use and I advocate use of this style.
