I just crafted my 2nd armor piece which is BIS in accordance to many sources, with a good weapon to support it, but now when im simming, its apparently saying im losing a good 7.3% dps for doing this change

The weapon embellishment is doing more for you than the cloak embellishment, and you have no other wrists to replace that embellishment instead. To me it looks like AMR thinks the new crafted cloak IS better, you just don’t have enough gear to work around the embellishment cap for optimal gearing.

That being said, it looks like it might still want to use the crafted weapon even if you had other wrists.

So a couple things:

  1. You have a custom secondary stat ratio specified. That’s fine, but it can make the absolute value of changes in the score less meaningful. We should probably change the UI to longer label it as an estimated “DPS” change once you have a custom stat ratio, as it is more like “estimation of similarity to your custom stat target.”

  2. As ekstren noted, you now have 3 items with crafted embellishments, so the optimizer is picking the 2 it thinks are best.
