I just upgraded a fourth piece of Mythic gear to Heroic Mythic gear using Catalyst. Up to this point, upgrade finder for valor has been working just fine.
I like how it allows me to decide which valor upgrades are worth it. Since converting the 4th piece, the Valor upgrade list seems broken. Gear I already have equipped shows as a downgrade if I upgrade, including all of catalyst converted gear. Note, I usually use it 1 level above my existing valor level for decision making.
Thanks for the post – there is definitely something weird going on here… I have narrowed it down to a strange interaction between the secondary stat customization and a particular set item in a particular slot (shoulder in this case) leading the optimizer down a dead end where it can’t find the correct solution.
(If you disable the secondary stat customization, then it works fine – that stat customization feature makes the optimization extremely tricky to code. I think something might be going on with the 2-piece raging tempests set bonus which gives a dynamic secondary stat, thus making it hard to balance the stats according to a custom ratio. Another way to avoid the problem while I try to fix it would be to exclude your two raging tempests set items and re-optimize.)
edit: another way to avoid the problem is to set the upgrade level to 9/13. This issue is very specific… it’s not just the particular items, it’s a very specific combination of stats causing the issue.
Thx for the reply. FYI my particular gear is the Haunted Frostbrood Remains. No issues until getting 4 equipped. I did notice that if I set the valor cap up a bit more things look normal. Not sure how to disable secondary stat customization, but will look. Really like AMR, thx again for getting back with me.
