Methodology

Ranking

A dungeon ranks by the number of slots where its drop is the best-in-slot item (rings and trinkets count two), then by drops in the top five of any slot, then by summed score.

Item scoring

Stat items are scored by the spec's simmed stat weights at the Myth 6/6 ceiling; trinkets carry their simmed DPS gain from the weekly trinket leaderboard. See the Elemental best-in-slot board.

Not included

What you already own, on-use and proc effects outside the trinket slot, set bonuses, and vault versus end-of-dungeon item level differences. It is a map of where the upgrades are, not a droptimizer for your character.

How are the upgrades counted?

Should I raid instead?

The comparison block shows how many best-in-slot pieces the raid and crafted gear hold. Tier pieces always come from the raid, so it usually leads; the dungeon ranking is for the slots it does not cover.
