I know they talked about it but why is it just an issue now? Issue was present 100% throughout wod too.

they were even cheaper in WoD. i usually just spend the gold on them, gold doesn't really matter at this point in the game other than to enchant new gear or buy pots.
what world boss is up this week, and does anyone have a copy of the class changes? I cant access any game forums other than this one while at work =/

Just sent out a mission for 1k resources that looks like it has a bonus loot drop off a mob in nightmare + a bonus reroll as the extra and I had a 197% chance of success on it so good bang for the buck reroll wise.

So I did this.
Pawn comes with its own weights, which are strikingly different from what SimCraft suggests. I'm assuming I should go with what SimCraft recommends? See below?
( Pawn: v1: "Quesjîn_Active": Agility=0.32, Stamina=0.01, Ap=0.01, CritRating=0.53, HasteRating=0.42, MasteryRating=0.52, Versatility=0.79, Armor=6.54, BonusArmor=3.26, Dps=-0.02 )

Once your weights are in, look through your journal and see what gear is out there for you. Pawn gives you the weights on the bottom of each gear piece. Then open your journal log, find the 850 version of what you're using - remember its weight, and then sift through other pieces of gears weight and compare. There are obviously BIS, which you can find pretty easily - but Relics, Trinkets, Rings and Necks that have procs are something you'll have to research.
That route just gives you a good idea of what mythics you should want to run over the others. My gear is a collection of everything. But with the legendaries I have, its pants on head retarded for me to run Maw of Souls for example, for any reason outside of trying to increase my max dungeon difficulty for the weekly chest. Being a good sport and friend is one thing, but grinding it is stupid.

I just use pawn for a platform. I have a little more faith in Simcraft than I do for the Pawn team. Plus, with simcraft - you can tailor it to your playstyle, and the amount of movement.
It is insane that somebody needs to run simulationcraft in order to figure out what is an upgrade.

You should definitely spend 5 minutes looking over the action list simcraft uses for your spec. Ask yourself "do/can I even play this way?". For instance, if you're an arms warrior, the action list is heavily skewed by the assumption of focused rage, the possession of a few legendaries, and some artifact traits. So much so to the detriment of non focused rage builds will get incorrect dps scores and potentially bad weights.
You might find it worth your time to simplify the action lists like I have for fury and arms. It's a few hours. Or, at least, it was for me because I'm easily distracted and playing around with numbers like this is probably more fun the playing the game itself. But it pays off in the end to have confidence in the tool that's telling you which piece of gear to pick. Make simcraft is playing the way you play.

Blizz should be embarrassed for shipping Mythic Xavius in its current state.
They really fucked up power creep in the initial tier, underestimating (as usual) the shit players and guilds do to gear up. Their laughable legendary system only exacerbated the issue - if you got the right one (or two!), you're looking at a 20-30% advantage over the poor luckless asshole who looted Sephuz's.

For a decent amount of specs and also based on your current gear, your stat weights are going to swing a decent amount. Pawn has a very general set of stat weights but you definitely want to be simmimg yourself regularly as you get chunks of new gear to keep those weights accurate.

Yes, I agree. However, my secondary stats are so spread out. According to Icy Veins, two of my items are Best in Slot pre-raiding, which is a miracle, but my some of my other items have secondary stats that don't really apply to tanking. What sucks is I had a trinket that was BIS, but got rid of it because it didn't have any Stamina or Agility, just Haste and a proc, which I see now, would have been the shit.
I too simcraft for upgrades because things just are not clear in some/many cases. It is just that they jacked up the stats so badly this expansion that I need an external tool. Somebody doing 50+% more damage than another person could simply be because they are running an external tool like simcraft. Its crazy. 8-10 years ago I would have eaten this level of computation needed up. I guess I am just old.
