… Better than ilevel 411 4-pc Tier Set?
Let say against ilevel 424 Veteran or Hero gear.
When is the new Catalyst due?
I am running out of slots to upgrade. Cant find a better ring and better trinkets yet for Crest upgrades.
that is a sim question

Depends on your tier set

most specs wont break 4pc until they can do 2pc of each. depends on your spec though. some its better to have 2pc/2pc until the ilvl makes having new 4pc worth it
so again, sim question

Anyone who has sim results with ilevel 424s non Tier pc better in DPS than 411 4pc tier set?
June 13th. And I would guess that a 13 ilvl difference would not be enough to break a tier set.

youll have to do it yourself i think
just get the simc addon, copy the string, and then do gear compare in raidbots
I don’t know but sims do. 
- Download the SimC addon.
- Type /simc and copy the string
- Go to Raidbots and select Top Gear
- Paste the string
- Select the gear you are trying to decide between for each slot
- Select the sim type, generally Light Movement (boss) or Dungeon Slice
- Run the sim
It’ll tell you if each combination gives you more or less DPS/healing.

Sim’d a 424 piece vs. 405 tier set for my monk. Same secondaries and the 405 had a socket.
Losing the socket and the 4 piece set bonus resulted in a net lose of 3k DPS for a 19 iLvl gain.
I’m sure results will vary depending on spec.
And I suspect some specs will be holding onto gear until they can do a full tier set replacement.
Nope! DPS loss.
I have the 424 tier chest sitting in my bag until it hopefully gets a friend on Tuesday. Breaking my 4pc parses about 5% lower DPS, despite my current chest only being 411. The consensus seems to be to not break up your 4 piece until you get two of the new set (as was mentioned above).
This. +1
