Thank you for the response; this is helpful. I suspected that is how the scoring worked but I wasn’t sure. Also, I wasn’t sure if this particular system for scoring was used across other addons because of the import option.
I tried decreasing the weight for mastery and it recommended another piece of gear with higher strength even though I would lose some mastery. I’ll continue tweaking based on what I think is better mix.
Were the original weights based on some sim or modeling?
