Best Primordial Stones combinations in WoW Dragonflight

Added in Dragonflight Patch 10.0.7, Primordial Stones are a new catch-up system designed to kill time until Patch 10.1 and help players who still didn’t fully experience the high-end content to do so. Paired with Onyx Annulet and obtained in the Zskera Vaults, Primordial Stones will start at level 411 and can be upgraded up to level 424.

Although ideal Primordial Stone combinations will vary from role to role and from spec to spec, there are still top Primordial Stones combinations that you can use on almost every spec and still top the charts. Bear in mind that the Onyx Annulet and Primordial Stones won’t pay off until you obtain your best-in-slot stones.

So, here are the best Primordial Stones that will be a throughput increase to all specs in Dragonflight.

Best Primordial Stone combinations for DPS, healers, and tanks in WoW Dragonflight

• Single-target DPS: Freezing Ice Stone, Desirous Blood Stone, Prophetic Twilight Stone
• Multi-target (AoE) DPS: Storm Infused Stone, Desirous Blood Stone, Prophetic Twilight Stone
• Tanking: Indomitable Earth Stone, Shining Obsidian Stone, Cold Frost Stone
• Healing: Deluging Water Stone, Exuding Steam Stone, Wild Spirit Stone

Keep in mind that these combinations are the current strongest options for each role and are subject to change depending on alterations and evolutions within the WoW meta. While certain stones are at their peak when combined with others, you may still slot in replacements as you see fit. For instance, if your group needs more damage, you can always replace a durability-focused Primordial Stone with a damaging one, for example.

Best overall Primordial Stone build in WoW Dragonflight

Damage dealers will want to always run some form of the “blue-red-purple” build that’s prevalent in the WoW meta right now, regardless of the content they’re running. This build focuses on the Storm Infused Stone, Desirous Blood Stone, and Prophetic Twilight Stone as your three Primordial Stone options. In single-target encounters, you’ll want to swap out the Storm Infused Stone for a Freezing Ice Stone, as its focused damage is stronger than that of the Storm Infused Stone’s split AoE damage. 

Healers and Tanks will want to stick with the builds listed in the above section under nearly all circumstances.

Best DPS Primordial Stones combinations for Mythic+ in WoW Dragonflight

Although some Primordial Stones for raiding might overlap with the stones you’ll be using in your Mythic+ runs, you’ll still have to spend a lot of time in the Zskera Vaults farming and arming yourself to teeth.
