WORLD OF WARCRAFT ARMORY UPGRADE
Or I got a choice between a 30 ilvl chest increase or a 30 ilvl ring increase at the start of 9.1 and just took the chest because A) my new legendary slot is my ring, so I know I’m not replacing that slot this tier, B) rings are super common because they drop for everyone and are tradable across class, c) rings don’t give Str/Int/Agi so the upgrade is less valuable on paper as well.Īnd finally, for every class secondary stats are pretty close together, and whichever one would be best is dependent on your current stats.

Like I got a 220 Scale on my paladin in S1 from the vault and didn’t even look at the other options because I knew that trinket was best in slot (BiS) and I wasn’t going to see anything better that tier. Copying someone else’s stat weights is missing 90% of the information you are supposed to digest for “optimal” gearing decisions.īasically just sim your shit and pick whatever is the biggest dps increase, but think about “will I easily replace that item?” In SoD I’m not sure if that trend holds.īut yeah. For example as a plate wearer shoulders were less valuable than other slots because like 3 or 4 Castle Nathria bosses drop shoulders. On top of that you also have to ask how likely you are to get a replacement later. Weapon > trinkets > head, shoulders, chest, legs > wrist, hands, feet > rings, necks, cloaks a 10 ilvl weapon upgrade may outshine a 15 ilvl shoulder upgrade, and that may surpass a 15 ilvl cloak upgrade because cloaks are very common drop, tradable across armor classes, and have less stats per ilvl than shoulders.ĭon’t quote me but stat wise the weight is The other important consideration for the Vault that top players care about is how replaceable the slot is and how stat valuable the slot is. Raidbots has a mode to sim all of your great vault options. To find the biggest upgrade, sim your options. When presented with a choice of gear, pick the biggest upgrade. Regular tertiary stats are typically not worth ilvl unless it’s leech and you’re a healer. Icy Veins lists what legendaries are best for each spec for each type of content, domination sockets have to be simmed. Wowhead has a guide, I believe.įor picking a legendary or deciding if a tertiary stat (speed, leech, avoidance, etc.) or socket is worth losing ilvl for, you have to sim or just use your gut.
WORLD OF WARCRAFT ARMORY HOW TO
Download the simulationcraft addon, go to, and figure out how to sim your drops. Any other method is the wrong way to pick gear.

Make sure what you’re wearing works for your spec.įor trinkets and jewelry, you have to sim the item to know if its good for your character. On most gear, agility or strength becomes intellect, depending on what spec you are. Make sure your weapons’ primary stat is good for your spec. Just wear whatever is higher ilvl and appropriate for your class/spec. Outside of jewelry (neck, rings, trinkets) ilvl is superior. Your best bet for deciding what gear to wear is: What are you trying to accomplish by doing so? I wouldn’t try to copy another players “build”, the game doesn’t work like that.
