I've had the opportunity to start Mythic raiding as dps, and because of the Glad performance difference, I had to do my trial as fury/arms. These are sad times, but things are looking upward in Hellfire Citadel.
I'm going to be updating this post again ( like I did in T17 ) and please expect the first revision of this gear to change. It's also possible that blizzard might make another change to either our set bonuses or (hopefully) our class trinket. I will provide a trinket comparison by the end of next week. And finally I will update with a Gear Progression from T17 to T18 post. As there are different Ilvl items within HFC. The new Dev Watercooler covers these changes.
First off I have a Best in Slot list which you can copy/paste into a SimulationCraft profile.

If you've managed to determine a better combination of gear, please let me know in the comments. I purposefully left out gem slots and warforged to make the testing flat.
Battlegear of the Iron Wrath
2 Piece
While in Gladiator Stance, the damage bonus from being Enraged is increased by 20%.
4 Piece
Your Shield Charge also causes you to Enrage.
Trinket Comparisons Placeholder. Still coming! I've been basically begging blizz to buff our class trinket.
Gear Progression, Per Slot Placeholder.
Stat Weights, these were covered at 695 and BIS gear levels in the latest Gladiator's Resolve post here:

Thanks,

Hello Cyclonus, good to see your blog is active :>
ReplyDeleteSo, will Gladiator still be way behind arms/fury even with the 30% mastery bonus?
Not sure yet. It looks like we're going to be ahead of arms for single target, but behind fury still. Expect tuning passes to come over the next few weeks as 6.2 approaches and we'll know better :)
DeleteHey! :) Will Stat-Weights change in because of mastery-buff? Also I'd like to learn using simcraft, are there custom fight-options you are testing with?
ReplyDeleteI will definitely be providing stat weights.
DeleteHey cyclonus! I was using your sat weights that AskMrRobot provides and it is telling me that t17 gear is my BiS. I thought maybe i just had an incorrect setting or something but I didn't! This can't be right can it? I am having a real hard time believing that t17 is better than the ilvl 730 t18 gear.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure. Maybe an AskMrRobot bug.
DeleteI know too you can set weighting for the sets themselves. Maybe that will help. T17 is not better than t18.
I ran the BIS list off AskMrRobot on my toon, with my stat weights and got this:
