RAID & TIER SET
Raid Gear and Tier Set Planning
Wearing all five tier pieces is not the goal. Complete the four-piece effect reliably, then leave one slot open for a stronger non-tier item.
Choose four of the five slots from rank-one usage patterns
LOGMATE compares the leading choices for head, shoulders, chest, hands, and legs. Four slots favored by top players form the planned tier set, while one slot remains available for a non-tier item.
The selection is not based only on the four highest current item levels. Top-player composition, continuity of the tier bonus, direct drops, and Catalyst availability are considered together.
Use the free slot to correct secondary stats
The excluded tier slot can hold a highly ranked raid or Mythic+ item with a better secondary-stat combination. This helps correct excess Critical Strike, Haste, Mastery, or Versatility created by fixed tier pieces.
Secondary stats are evaluated as a complete distribution rather than one universally dominant number. Planned upgrades in other slots are part of that comparison.
BIS is shown only with strong evidence
Raid drops vary by difficulty, rarity, and unique effect. BIS is reserved for items whose effect and usage remain clearly ahead of realistic alternatives.
When the sample is small or several choices are close, LOGMATE presents ranked candidates instead. A non-BIS item can still be an excellent and practical upgrade.
