[Question] 4-set bonus vs Higher iLvl

[Haeckel 1]

Hi Guys,

 

Currently I'm using demonology with 4-set bonus (2-685ilvl and 2-670ilvl)

 

But I have some mythic non-tier items, so I was wondering, if it will be better to drop the two tier pieces for the higher item level items?

 

Shadow Council's Hood (670) for M WF Vilebreath Mask (691)

 

and

 

Socket Shadow Council's Robes(670) for Mythic Woundsear Robes (700)

 

 

Probably the 4-set bonus will be better in fights like operator or maidens, but in general which is the better combination?

 

Thanks in advance!.

I saw a post here asking how much the 4-set bonus is worth, but it really did not helped me to choose.

For single target the higher ilvl pieces likely win out, but you should still run a quick sim to see. If the difference is negligible then the 4pc can likely swing higher DPS with favourable RNG, but again it's best to run a quick sim even if it's not the most accurate reading.

 

For multi target, 4pc likely trumps.

Thanks Liquidsteel,

 

I will do the sims to verify this.
