ok i used ask mrrobot in cataclysm for gear reforging my items now i use it for best in bag.
i have been doing dps lower than i should and i kept few item on my bag. askmrrobot is telling me i have equipped all my bis items but when i changed my items and put the ones i thought were right i did more dps by 1.7k on the dummy.
i have been relying on askmrrobot to calculate my states a lot lately and i think it’s time to move one since i am doing more dps by using what i think is the right item.
i am full heroic geared and some mythic ulder raid.
what do you guys suggest? im frost mage main and now i feel so stupid for using ask mr robot all those years i want to be good at the game.
Most specs run off highest ilvl gear so I wouldn’t worry about it.

my guild is about to replace mewith a mage 5 lower item level than me and doing 3k more dps
i let recount do the talking for me.
Get simulationcraft addon, type /simc, copy and paste into raidbots .com to sim, find stat weights, and best in bags gear.

AMR has yet to steer me wrong. It does, however, occasionally make mistakes.
AMR? That’s a name I haven’t heard in a while. 
Now you use raidbots to sim your toons and determine best gear combos.

You can do customs sims with AMR that simulate all the usuable pieces of gear in the game. AMR also does thousands of simulations to figure out what stat ratios will give the biggest DPS increase. AMR then uses this info to quickly give you best in bag suggestions. I hate the idea of simming my toon for every new piece of gear with Raidbots.

If your running high level stuff, then probably. If your not running high level stuff, then probably not.
I use both AMR and Simulationcraft and compare.
What I’m curious is - did Raidbot’s suggestion match the gear you felt it was more optimized for you?
i ran a simulation on askmrrobot and is giving em same results as raidbot but it’s suggesting to me to use the wrong items
So both addons are giving you the same results?
Reason I was curious is because on my warlock AMR tells me to use a 375 azerite piece that does not have Archive of the Titans (I rather would like one with Laser Matrix, but Zul hasn’t been kind to me) but to use the Honorbound 375 piece I got from Lion’s Roar. Simcraft says I should equip the one that has Archive of the Titans.
This is less important, but same with my bracers - AMR says to use a 370 Honorbound piece but Simcraft tells me to use a 370 bracers I got from Zek.
When I raid, I ignore what AMR tells me and equip what Simcraft suggests and my DPS is better.
Just my 2 cents.
wouldnt touch it with a ten foot pole. it has been wrong way too many times . Pawn and raidbots are much better.
edit: to make matters worse I have contacted AMR a few times with solid evidence and they refuse to listen , insisting they are right
I use Stateweightscore for my syats, and so it shows upgrades when a piece drops. It shows an arrow on the pieces icom, same if you are browsing gear in the journal, if you hover over a piece a boss drops it will tell you if its an upgrade. I redo my stats after every piece i equip.
I use Simulationcraft and type in /simc and then copy and paste my string into raidbots best in bag sim. I also pay their service, gives unlimited iterations. Also remember to check the Azerite traits you wish to check in each new piece. Then use the results to equipe the gear it suggests. Also check any gems and enchants you want compared that you want to include in your sim.
Hasnt been wrong yet. But remember that the results are usually with a 98%ish perfect rotation.
GL and enjoy.
thanks man this addon saved my career in wow <3 i am using it from now on. i will just delete askmrrobot
