Greetings!

Has anyone created a Best in Slot guide for current level 120 content (NOS)? Would really love to see a BiS list for Non-Raid and Raid gear. Anyone have anything they can share?
 
Do you know if they score/weight the items in some noticeable way? Trying to see if there is a big value jump between certain items...
What are you trying to do? You sort by whatever criteria you want… hdex, hsta, hp/mana, ac, etc.

At 120 is just a basic formula now

Group Tier 1 drops
Group Tier 2 drops
Group Tier 3 tradeskill gear (ore)
Raid tier 1 drops
Raid tier 2 tradeskill (ore)

Blood soaked is between tier 3 group and raid tier 1

For example: rogue daggers. When looking at NOS group daggers, there are like 3-4 that rogues can use. And if you sort by ratio, the rogue specific dagger isn't one of the top ratio daggers, but not sure how it would parse compared to the other daggers that have a slightly higher ratio. I'd like to think the higher BS damage and procs of the rogue only dagger make it better, even though it has a slightly worse ratio.
 
All other gear is pretty easy to choose. Weapons are up to your play style. Below are the group daggers. if you see, they don't have a better ratio, but the rogue only has 1 more point of damage as poison damage.

I was looking at the group Tradeskill daggers. The ratio varies for those slightly.
 
I'm sure that was an error in their copy and paste from the past seven expansions. That's the only one that isn't the same plus 1.

The gear is so homogeneous that there is no reason to analyze the options to this degree. This is a big divergence from early era EQ where there was actual choice in your itemization. Always be upgrading to the highest tier available. Like has already been mentioned, there are 3 tiers of group gear and 2 tiers of raid gear. Since you ask about rogues, rogues will not use a class specific dagger of a lower tier when they can get the general use 1HP of a higher tier. So when you're dual wielding, you'll take the class spec of the highest tier in main hand and the general use of the same tier in off-hand. For the off-hand, pick which proc you like, neither is more powerful than the other.
