Normal Shin'ka (2/2 upgrade) vs. LFR GS of Frozen Hells

[Rumblecrush]

Is there a site with reliable stat weights to compare these two? You've got the haste of the sword and free expertise (if human) against the 2 ilevels of the axe and the sha gem/socket

[Banzubie]

Don't forget that you can throw the extra socket on all new 5.2 weapons.

There won't never be a site with reliable stat weights.

It will depends on fights, scale factors and class fixes in 5.2.

At the moment is impossible to determine what's the best weapon between the two.

Not impossible for me o_o;

I don't know why I wrote my statement, probably I was drunk or something.

The one with higher weapon damage

You can get the stat +/- between the two, but stat weights that you may have for your character now will adjust in 5.2. Attack speed goes up for frost, makes weapon damage worth even more, etc.

Still, if the only gain on the other weapon is some haste at the expense of all that other stuff, then there's no way it's better :P Which is weird, cause I am pretty sure normal mode Throne weapons are better than heroic Sha weapons.

Yes, because normal mode is 522/528. LFR is only 502.

Honestly, I wouldn't stress too much about the weapons. Their ilvl's are almost identical (504 v. 502) so weapon damage differences are minimal. 2/2 normal Shin'ka probably wins out because of raw attack power gains.

It's not even a contest, 2/2 Shin'ka is significantly better.

Answered your own question.

GSFH drops from trash though, right? So just do trash runs in normal mode and get the 522 version which will blow Shin'ka away.
