You know your gear is optimized horribly when..

Hey, don't worry too much. 570 is just 35 points above the cap, and it'll make it easier for you to sidegrade into BiS later on. Things might be silly if you had over 600 though

Yeah but that's 35 wasted stat
Actually, since I'm not in fcob yet, (or scob for that matter, rip) it's more than just 35

I've been playing since ps4 launch I came directly from WoW where you could change half of a stat to something else on your gear, it was called reforging.
For example. Say you have 50 accuracy on your chest piece, you could reforge the accuracy into something else but only half of it.
So you could turn 50 accuracy into 25 acc+25crit.

I raided and PvP'd hardcore and had my stats at an exact point of where they needed to be.
Exactly at accuracy cap, exactly at my haste breakpoint, rest mastery/crit

So playing this where I have tons of wasted stats and hand me down CT gear (I call CT the equivalent of LFR) makes me sad

Hopefully I can manage to get a static so I can start getting good gear and not have this accuracy be wasted.

wow removed reforge u know :P

but yeah i feel your pain....i would love see reforge here , but i will prefer if stats werent wasted like S.Speed and how SE loves to put it on every piece of gear (weapons for jobs that despise it for example)

I heard they did. Kind of silly but that's WoW for ya. I quit before WoD launched so I have no experience with that expansion.

I think they removed snapshotting too and for someone who mained an affliction warlock that hit me right in the feels

They also removed all the stats people used Reforge for (Hit Expertise etc.)

That's not the only thing I reforged for. I reforged to hit certain haste breakpoints and to change crit to mastery or haste to mastery, etc

Bit yeah, the hit cap I didn't mind seeing go. Although as I said above, I didn't play the xpac to see how it went.

Again, don't worry too much. Secondary Stats are nearly meaningless in this game. They only even think about surpassing Main Stats if you put absurd amounts of them on meldable gear. Those 35 points of secondaries amount to a mere 7-8 Strength.

Note: To preempt the "but 35 Determination is 12 Strength!" argument, it's necessary to note that you can't compare 35 Accuracy to 35 Determination. Determination is weighted higher than accuracy on gear, so you're actually comparing 35 Accuracy to 24-25 Determination.

Well no wonder then. There's not a lot of room to optimize if you only have access to tomestone/ct gear.

5 acc above flank cap for T13.
Better get hunting.
