Use Raidbots to Find Your Best Great Vault DPS Upgrade in The War Within Season 1

If you're already familiar with Raidbots and have the SimulationCraft addon installed, all you need to do upon logging in after the weekly reset is open the vault, type /simc into the chat box, and copy/paste all of the information into Raidbots Top Gear setting.
