I've got to the stage where I've upgraded much of my gear to Outland greens and the odd blue. I'm now beginning to get my second quest reward for some of the items, which influence my stats in different ways but one doesn't seem to be clearly better than another.
For example, I have two helms; Scout's Hood and Clefthoof Hide Mask. One gives me increased +agi, the other increased +sta but decreases the other stat. One increases my AP, the other my crit rating. I have gemmed up the Scout's Hood from the gem vendor, seeing no point in buying expensive stuff from the AH for stuff that will be replaced in a couple of levels.
I've looked over the forums and at the various spreadsheets, but they only really tell you how to compare items at level 70. Is there a formula I can apply to tell which would boost my DPS most? Or perhaps I should be concentrating on one stat at the expense of all others?
The advice on these forums has turned me from a total noob to a mouse turning, key bound bundle of kill, so further assistance would be gratefully received.
