T14 2pc, how big of a deal is it?

[Deafyx]

I looted the Heroic Helm off Jin'Rokh tonight, but I have been using Gloves/Legs T15, and Helm/Shoulders T14.

Now putting all my changes into Shadowcraft which would be Heroic Helm (535), Heroic Shoulders (502), and a Thunderforged Chest (528), and I gained a little over 3K dps increase according to Shadowcraft.

Now my question is, Does Shadowcraft include the Tier bonuses when calculating DPS? I am not quite sure dropping the T14 2set for 2 ToT pieces will actually benefit me over using off pieces until 4PC T15.

Any ideas? Should I just follow what Shadowcraft is telling me as far as gear goes?

Shadowcraft does indeed factor in set bonuses. Follow its suggestions and you're dandy.

Look on the left side under stat weights. It will tell you the value of set bonuses as well as them being factored in by default.
