Linaori 0 Report post Posted June 5, 2019 Using the calculator, the new traits are arguably worse but I also read that a +15 ilvl is usually worth it. I'm personally not a fan of the new traits at all and I feel like the lower ilvl item has far better traits that seem to outweigh the ilvl difference. The full list of options on this piece: Chaotic Transformation vs Seething power Revolving Blades vs Secrets of the Deep Elemental whirl vs Azerite Globules Burning Soul vs Bulwark of the Masses Should I use the new one or the old one?

That's always the best way to compare two pieces of gear in context of your talent choices and the rest of your equipment. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Linaori 0 Report post Posted June 6, 2019 I've looked it up and it seems to be exactly the same DPS ?, did I do something wrong? Here's the output: https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/hX2Zyxbt5cGpKk6oH5PLW4 If DPS is the same, I'll just stick with my 405, as I don't have to rely on an extra mechanic from demonic transformation.

I ran some more sims with different variables for movement and fight length. both shoulders are very close, 0.5% at most in favor of the 420 spaulders. the difference is negligible. if you prefer the traits on the 405 piece, go with that one.
