AMR chooses more complete azerite armor over DPS gain

Hi everyone,

I recently picked up a large item level upgrade on a helmet that had the same outer ring trait as the one I’m currently wearing.

From what I’ve seen so far, AMR attempts to choose the most fleshed out azerite piece. It’s also doing it in this case:

285 Outer ring (Unbound Chaos) and middle ring (Vampiric Speed)

over

340 Outer ring (Unbound Chaos) and no other traits unlocked

By default, I leave my modification threshold at 1%. Even at 2%, it still makes this same decision. Thanks for reading - any help is greatly appreciated and welcomed.

Screenshot of the 340 helm, since I can only include one in my post: https://i.imgur.com/J9ne4Ix.png

What gearing strategy and blender setting are you using? When I try this it suggests to leave the 340 helmet on. Maybe there is some combination setting causing the issue.

The gearing strategy I’m using is Multi-Target: https://i.imgur.com/ub0jiU7.png

Since this is for Havoc (DPS), I don’t think there is a blender setting?

Edit:
Here’s the export from the AMR add-on that I plug in to get that result:

I don’t even see Cowl of the Champion in your bag using that addon export. I’m not sure how it would pick the lower level item for you… wonder if something is cached.

Well, I did just realize that I accidentally scrapped the helm right before I sent you the export string… So I guess that’s one problem solved.

Here’s the send to addon string, since I haven’t saved a new export string from the add-on yet. I’m not sure if that helps or works.

Doesn’t let me recreate it, unfortunately, but I’ll keep an eye out for this if it pops up again.
