Mage best in slot
Each slot's pick from the raids' loot, by the sim: against a boss, a boss and its add, trash, or all three.
The pack's sims work each list out: stat values measured on the raid's gear, items picked by them, then the close calls and set bonuses checked in full sims (200 fights each). Overall weighs the fights by a raid's time: 40% on a boss alone, 15% with an add beside it, 45% on trash. The spec's starter build, no raid buffs, and the raid's loot alone: no crafted, dungeon or world items. Procs and on-use effects aren't simmed yet.
