Need some Help (Heroic Gear Transition)

[relentless92]

Hey there guys,

I need some help.
I'm atm at 497 ilevel with 4/5 Normal Set Parts. I've got every slot but the Chest, where i got a 510-Heroic Mode Piece.

So i switched guilds lately and i'm now at 9/16hc and got 3 heroic pieces today. the problem is that i'm not sure if the 4-piece bonus is better than my 2 items i could switch.

Atm i got: http://www.wowhead.com/item=85294
and: http://www.wowhead.com/item=85295

and i could change them into:

http://www.wowhead.com/item=86978
http://www.wowhead.com/item=89830

Ive simmed that in femaledwarf.com and it says that i should be around 400 dps higher with the heroic items. but i'm not sure because of the awesomeness of the 4p for BM. anyone got some help here?

If the dps difference is just that its barely noticeble any gear you use... dont stress too much about it

Well, there is some math behind it. For BM you'd be getting 10% more damage for you and 20% for your pet for 6 additional seconds. Which maps out to roughly a ~1.5% damage increase if used on CD. Using femaledwarf 320 agi is just a tad above a 1.2% damage gain.


The off tier pieces have 317 more agility and with better itemized stats. Basically trading haste/hit for mastery/crit. Femaledwarf also averages all your abilities so let's say you use your pre pot and a trinket procs at the start that would make your burst way greater than ~400 dps, but in the sim it's being averaged into all your other abilities devaluing the proc and BW. I'd say keep the 4 piece.

All right thank you, that sounds legit.
