Lyntha Posted March 12, 2012 Posted March 12, 2012 Gump: See attached. Picture 1 is your current gear simmed out with scaling calculated for Haste, Mastery and Crit. As you can see, Haste is clearly first with Mastery close behind. Crit is WAAAAY behind and is your worst stat. You can take those scaling values and plug them into Wowreforge to find out the best way to reforge your gear. Picture 2 is what would happen if you go from DTR to deathwing weapon with Dragonfire off-hand. You lose about 4k dps, which is around 10%. Yes, that's not a typo. DTR alone gives you more than 10% of your damage. It's that OP. You're never going to swap it for this entire xpac. The proc straight-up duplicates 10% of your casts, so that makes sense. Edit: According to EJ, Mastery is the weakest stat. Not sure what to make of that, some independent research is probably needed. http://elitistjerks.com/f75/t129638-4_3_3_fire_mage_compendium/#Combat_Ratings I think that Mastery in theory is a strong secondary stat but due to ignite munching and losing dps from playing less-than-perfectly makes crit jump ahead. Crit also greatly smooths out RNG.
