Timestrike is one of the newer stats in WoW Dragonflight, launched alongside Demonbane, Scourgebane, and Spirit. All of these stats have a unique effect that are useful in combat.

While it’s too early to say whether they will be a dominant force in the endgame, we’re certain they will come in handy in numerous situations.

What is the Timestrike stat in WoW Dragonflight?

Timestrike is a stat found on weapons looted via the Dawn of the Infinite megadungeon. The items with this stat have a chance on ability and spell use to leave an Echo on the target. That Echo is guaranteed to deal damage to the target within three seconds of being placed. The higher the Timestrike, the higher the damage.

Timestrike is essentially a statistic that is an AoE damage effect, launching randomly when you use a different spell or an ability on the enemy target. In theory, while the chance to actually land a Timestrike on your enemies when attacking them is low, it’s always something, and it’s better to have some of it stacked on your gear rather than not.
