Upgrade Finder - Secondary Spec - Valor Stones/Crests % higher than should be

b6228434b2af45fd868e08e3716c103f

I have two specs under Best Bags section, Beast Mastery is primary, Marksmanship secondary.

With primary spec (Beast Mastery) selected, if I use Valorstones/Crests under Upgrade Finder, it shows the following

However, if I select Marksmanship as my secondary, then use Valorstones/Crests it shows

If I then move Marksmanship as my primary and select it, and use the same Valorstones/Crests option I get

So I don’t understand why it’s saying a similar 619 weapon is 2.50% greater for Marksmanship when it’s my secondary, however it’s not an upgrade at all when Marksmanship is my primary.

My deduction is that the Gold-Plated Rifle is a better MM upgrade than it is a BM upgrade… probably due to the stat. spend on the item. Given that AMR doesn’t use a fixed stat. spend when considering upgrades, I have no way to know what the core bets secondary stat. is for each spec.

I believe that a MM Hunter has a more Weapon-centric focus that a BM (Pet-centric), so maybe that plays a part… it may well be that there’s a optimum Weapon for each spec., & they’re not the same; only @yellowfive &/or @Swol - whichever has the deeper knowledge bowl for Hunters - would know, but it would make perfect sense if that WAS to be the case.

You may want to - for experimentation purposes - run a Best-in-Slot for each spec. alone to see if there is a stat. weighting difference in play & see how the gear set you have favours each of the spec’s you’re using.

Hope that^^^ helps…

I’ll take a look… something seems to be going on with the enchant filter and how it is interacting with the upgrade finder. I thought that I had fixed all such cases, but this seems to be another case where it is having trouble.

In the meantime, set your enchant filter to All on both of your setups in Best in Bags. That should give you better results. Tier 1 enchants are pretty cheap on most servers, so usually there isn’t much reason to not use at least the lower tier enchants.

Thanks, changing enchants to All seems to have fixed it.

An update on this: we have a website update planned for later today that should fix this so that any combination of gem/enchant settings will give consistent upgrade finder results for all search types. It’s possible this fix might go into Tuesday or Wednesday’s update instead, but right now it is planned for tonight.
