I wish I found this site sooner. Cooleow approves it. What it does, is optimize your gear.
You have two choices.
1. Keep your current gear, but get it gemmed/enchanted/reforged.
2. Get new gear that it picks, and get it gemmed/enchanted/reforged.
This thing tells you what enchants benefit you, what gems to get, and what values to use when reforging. And it bases those figures from your current gear, and your spec and talents.
I actually never heard of this site, but most of my friends do. And Cooleow was going to suggest it, just with my negative attitude of gear, he didn’t. How I found out about this website is, I decided to ask the Curse forums if there’s an addon better than Pawn, that would do the thinking for me in getting geared. I knew it was going to be flamed. Being told I’m lazy and crap.
Fortunately, it wasn’t. Instead, this guy posted a link that does what I need, and said no addon could do that. So I checked out the site. It took me awhile to figure out what it was trying to tell me.
This isn’t just for Benie; all of my chars can be optimized to get better gear. As you get the gear it suggests is recommended for your class, level, and spec, it puts a checkmark behind the gear piece to indicate you got it. It’s still up to you to get the items gemmed, enchanted, and reforged as it shows to do them.
Currently, I got Benie’s ilevel up to 315, two numbers below my previous “record” of 317 (before the 4.2 patch hit). After the 4.2 patch, I had 309. So I’m not doing that bad. Still, I should be having 350+ by now and doing a shitload of DPS.
I just hope this site doesn’t steer me in the wrong direction.
