Bad Gear Recommendation?

[jebarber]

I'm not all that knowledgeable about gear selection, which is one reason why I use Zygor, but this clearly seems to be recommending the wrong piece.

According to the report you are a Restoration druid and for that spec the Springrain Cloak of Destruction is the better choice. Why do you think this is a bad choice?

[jebarber]

Like I said, I'm no expert, The only stat that it has less of is Haste, I figured the additional Int alone would make it worth it. But, If you say the math is sound I'll go with it. I'm just coming back to the game after not playing for the last 5 years or so, so I feel like I'm learning all over again.

Does the Cloak of Martayl Oceanstrider have Int on it because in that bug report it's not showing as having Int, just Agi?

[jebarber]

Yeah, here is a screenshot of the two.

I'm guessing what happened was there was some lag when the gear system was getting the item information from the game server causing the gear system to still see that cloak only having the Agility on it. If you see something like this again try reloading the UI (/re in the chat window) and see if it then gives the proper suggestion after it asks the server again what the stats are.

[jebarber]

I did a /reloadui and it seems to be working now. I have logged on and off several times before, shouldn't that have cleared it up?
It does seem to be working now though, so I guess we can call it a glitch.

I was right though, Cloak of Martayl Oceanstrider is clearly the better choice, correct?

[ZG Support 1]

Yes, the only reason the gear suggestion didn't suggest it was because it didn't see the Int.

[myrroddin]

Zygor, don't forget that any gear with a primary stat (Int, Agil, Str) will all be equal, and swap depending on talent spec. 103 Int will show up for Balance and Resto, and will show as 103 Agil for Feral Druids.

If the item in question is not showing as Int, it probably is showing as Agil because the OP is not Balance anymore. He's gone Feral.

I see the item info you have linked OP, and your upgraded cloak says 312 Agility compared to your equipped 103 Int. You are Balance currently. When you mouse over the upgrade item, is the 312 Agil greyed out? It should be, and 312 Int should be highlighted.

If you switch to Feral, the Int line should be greyed out, and Agil will highlight.
