Best artifact per class
From the official tier guide quest descriptions:
| Class | Tier IV recommendation |
|---|---|
| Tank | Sapphire Armor + Fyr'alath |
| Warrior (2H DPS) | Frostmourne or A'zhar |
| Rogue (haste DPS) | Souldancer set + Fist of Fury (Monk) |
| Ranger | Orion artifact bow (only bow artifact) |
| Mage | Ekavar staff (evolves to 5 elemental forms) |
| Healer | Ekavar evolved → holy form |
| Spellblade | A'zhar (fire), Frostmourne (frost), Ash'edar (Fire+Arcane), Supernova (Astral) |
Ekavar — the universal mage staff
"An ancient Artifact forged using materials from far away stars. When infused with power, it can evolve to greater versions. Evolves to one of 5 stronger versions for Arcane, Fire, Frost, Holy or Astral mages."
The Arcane evolution = Ad'anel, Secret of Ain (per quest text).
Per-artifact talent tree
Each artifact has its own talent tree at config/puffish_skills/categories/<artifact_name>/. Categories observed:

Each unlocks when you forge the corresponding artifact. Extra points to spend = extra power on top of the 32-point main tree.
The Skillet meme
"The Legendary One and Only, Granny's Pan"
Don't sleep on it. Hidden joke item often has stupid stats in Prominence-style packs. Worth a check in JEI once you can forge.
