Hello,

I noticed that the new recommended gear feature released in patch 3.3 seems to be incorrect when comparing the two below items:

Code:
Item                 | iLvl | Req Lvl | Str/Rate
================================================
Square Ash Shield    | 17   | 17      | 8/28
Nightprowler's Targe | 17   | 15      | 10/35
Both items have identical bonuses save for the targe which as one extra (+1 Determination). So from a bonus point of view, the targe is better. From a strength rate point of view, it is better. They are both at the same level. Why does the Recommended Gear feature choose the "Square Ash Shield?"

All I can think of is that the gear feature will prefer required level over stats. That may be "by design" in which case this isn't really a bug; perhaps an enhancement request but it is acting as it should.

Anyway, figured to report it just in case. Likely does not matter, but I noticed this behavior as a thaumaturge.
