Here is a link to my armory page.

The problem is that when I open AtlaslootEnhanced and browse the loot for Lord Jaraxxus, RhadaTip tells me that the Firestorm Ring he drops is a dps loss for me. This is a problem because of my current rings is Sinner's Confession which has lower stats in every area except stamina.

What the tooltip shows is an Item DPS value of 309.66 for Sinner's Confession and Item DPS value of 348.7 for Firestorm Ring. However, the tooltip for Firestorm Ring also shows Current Total Gear DPS of 6560.36 and New DPS of 6518.36 - a 42 dps loss (in red).

If the stats of the Firestorm Ring are higher than Sinner's Confession and the DPS value of Firestorm Ring is higher, obviously the new total gear DPS value should be higher as well. Is there a bug?

I've completed the fix to this ring issue. Would you (or anybody else with the same situation available) be able to test it if I send you a mirror? It took quite some code change to core methods, I'd rather not upload a buggy file you know!

Hello Rhada excellent tool thanks for taking the time out to do this for us who hate doing our own napkin maths

. I have been using this for my DK and I was just wondering if you were going to put in an option to set the expertise cap?

I would also be happy to help test any new versions.

Absolutely, I've rewritten some of the core functions for 2.1.5 (almost) just to be able to add the expertise cap more easily in an uncoming version.

2.1.5 is now up, here is the changelog:

Rings and trinkets comparisons should now be always accurate, regardless of hit rings currently worn by the player.
Added tier9 pre-saved scaling values.
Fixed a bug caused by One-Hand weapons that sometimes prevented the gear optimizer from working.
Added the following gems: Sovereign Dreadstone and Nightmare Tear.
Added the 3 Darkmoon Fairie: Greatness cards that had been left out of the previous releases.
Added russian localized tier set names (fixing the 2.1.4 known bug with the ruRU locale).
Added a message that shows how many gear combinations the gear optimizer is about to test (as a reference, on my pc 14400 combinations took 182 seconds to be fully evaluated).
Fixed a bug that was sometimes causing the gear optimizer to equip the wrong rings or trinkets.
The gear optimizer now factors in the 12 hit ratings from the enchantment Icewalker toward the evaluation of the excessive hit over the user specified gear hit cap.
The gear optimizer now supports shields properly.
Fixed an issue caused by mana per 5 socketbonuses in the deDE locale.
Rewritten many core functions to speed the addon up and make future additions (ie the expertise cap) easier to implement.
Updated the french locale.

Is there anyone that could help me to test the upcoming version? If you have low fps, the better

I'd be willing to help.

2 problems I was having with the mod:

1) No direct support for Battlemaster's Ruination. =( Please add.
2) When I had 4pcT9 via ilvl 232 shoulders, it would often come up with gearsets that included my ilvl 245 Pauldrons of Revered Mortality. Strangely enough, if I moused over the ilvl 232 T9 shoulders it would say that equipping those shoulders would be a dps upgrade. As soon as I actually used the optimizer it would get swapped back out again. My T9 set bonuses were set to 2pc=100 & 4pc=130.

Sure, I'll add that trinket with the next major update, coming out soon. The problem with trinkets (and gems) is that I have to model and add them one by one, therefore I tend to skip stuff that I deem not so worthy, and postpone it until someone asks for it (gems with stamina as one of the two stats are another example).
That is weird. Is the shoulder slot the only one that would be swapped? I can only think of a couple reasons, one being an equip bug caused by having too many jewelcrafting's only gems. That can't be if the only difference between the list that the optimizer comes out with is the shoulder item. Ah, one more thing, you are using version 2.1.5b?

[Battlemaster's Ruination] should be easy to model, because it's just a flat +150 sp. The proc addes health, not stam. I haven't had any luck picking up trinket upgrades since I've just been doing ToC and was stuck with [Abyssal Rune] and the [Sundial of the Exiled]. Lootrank seems to think the Battlemaster's is better for me (I'm meta/ruin spec), so it would be nice not to have Rhadatip swapping it out. Lootrank also thinks [Talisman of Resurgence] is better than the Battlemaster, but Simcraft didn't agree the last time I tried modelling it.

I confirmed that I am running 2.1.5b. I'm also a tailor/alchemist so JC only gems should not affect me. Does it matter if I use Fel Armor or flask?

I think the shoulder slot is the only one that would be swapped because that's the only slot where the non-set piece was better than my set piece on an individual basis (excluding set bonuses).
