Ok mastery is again number 1 ? ... What is happening Blizzard ?!

I believe this was a change that just had a slight delay when updating. It looks like Mastery/Agility seem to swap fairly often.

Hi. I was wondering if I should prioritize mastery over agi at all times? Especially relevant when getting an way higher itemlevel piece that for instance will give me +130 agi but -866(!!!) mastery. Getting a bit confused about stat weights. Thanks!

I too am very confused with the stat priority. Early on it was Mastery Agy Haste... then it briefly changed to Agy Mastery haste as is usually the case when it comes to primary and secondary stats, and now with the 20 percent nerf to barrage it's now at Mastery, agy and haste.... lol???  I wonder if there is another slight delay that would indicate otherwise based on how frequent these stat priorities are changing I would love to know why its changing from Agy to Mastery / visa versa, do MM shots simply scale more with mastery and if so why was it that at some point Agy was number 1?... what has changed besides the 20 percent nerf? im so sketch about these stat priorities and im sure im not the only one who feels this way! o.0

Take mastery on every piece of gear, only soft cap would be for haste and fitting 3 aimed shots into a vulnerable window, once you have that i believe crit may be better

mastery > agil > haste > crit > vers

What is the value of haste for 3 aimed shots to be fired in that window  ?

I was wondering whether I should use the firebolts food or the mastery one as a pandaren. While the mastery food benefits from the increased stat buff passive, the firebolts food doesn't and, honestly, I don't know how to precissely calculate that myself so I'll be glad if someone could clarify it to me.

I believe, as a Panda, you should be using the Mastery food.

My result (Mcmeider EU Thrall) this morning was  Mastery > Haste ~= Agi ~= Crit ~= AP ~= Vers

( Pawn: v1: "Mcmeider": Agility=7.46, Ap=7.17, CritRating=7.34, HasteRating=7.46, MasteryRating=8.11, Versatility=7.09, Dps=25.25 )

Even Haste is equal to Agility? Sounds weird

I feel like this is a stupid question and I know the guide says to use barrage and WB on cd, I just want to make sure that means that regardless of what procs, save mark shot falling off in vulnerable window I have that I use them.

I don't think my dps is where it should be so just making sure I am doing things right.

Azortharion, can you please clarify the following?  Should I used Aimed Shot when Vunerable is up over Windburst, or use Windburst regardless (i.e. as soon as it's off CD)?

It's not really that weird, I get the same if I just run a sim with my char.

Does that mean the pawn-string is outdated, and I should set them to the weights poster mentioned? Agi is a lot better in the pawn-strings linked.

Hello Azorth,

 

Is it still barrage over windburst as stated in guide? Asking because seeing you and some other top hunters prioritizing windburst over barrage in fights from what i see in streams.

Also, can you give some information about vulnerable window and aimed shots? It says it will go like sw>as>ms>as in guide but people keep saying minimum of 1.5 as should be cast in every vuln window. Kinda confused on this.

 

Regards

One thing to consider re: replacing Barrage with Murder of Crows... namely the "Bullseye" trait on the bow.  Every time you damage a target, Crit chance goes up by 1% (up to a max of 30%) once the boss is below 20%.  Now, I have no idea if every crow that hits the boss is counted as one piece of damage, but even if it is, MoC has a 1 min CD (iirc).  However, Barrage has a 20 second CD.  If you time things right, or even if you don't, you'll more than likely be hitting Barrage much sooner after the boss hits 20% than MoC.  I guess what I'm saying is, with Barrage, you'll get your Crit chance up to 30% much quicker than if you use MoC.

I haven't run any maths on this - it just strikes me as something that's not been raised.

This should be answered in the more in-depth explanation of the ST rotation:

Every Crows tick applies a stack of Bullseye. Of course, it's not quite as fast as Barrage, but this is accounted for in the simulations that put Crows ~8-10k ahead of Barrage on a single target.

Thanks, good to know.  Does the sim assume that a MoC is saved until the boss hits 20%, or does it assume it's use on cooldown?  There could be situation where the boss goes down from 20 to 0% in less than a minute (particularly as people gear up), which could mean that MoC isn't even used in that period (or at least not until towards the end of the fight).  Anyway, I'll take your advice and stick to MoC - thanks Azorth.

For the trinkets, what iLvl is "world quest mastery"? Also, where does 835 bloodthirsty instinct stand?

835 Instinct is not in the sims, but considering 850 Instinct is about 2.7k dps behind the 865 one, it's safe to assume that an 835 Instinct is gonna be about 2.7k dps behind an 850 one, maybe slightly more because of how ilvl scaling works.

      Due to a bug introduced with the War Within pre-patch, some players are receiving item level 250 gear from the weekly cache.
      We've seen numerous reports on Reddit and the official forums that the Last Hurrah weekly quest on live servers drop low-level gear for some players. Apparently, the bug was first introduced with the War Within pre-patch two weeks ago and still hasn't been fixed.
      Here's an example of a low item level drop from the Cache of Awakened Treasures by Omnifox.

      Week 2 brings quite a few changes, as Hunters in particular rise up, while Shadow has a really bad time. The top 3 remains the same and very consistent, so let's jump in and see what's going on.
      Warcraft Logs Points
      The below logs are based on POINTS, and not actual damage or healing, meaning they log the timed completion for the specs, with higher keys getting more points, obviously. The time in which the dungeon is completed is also a factor, but a much, much smaller one, as it grants very few points if you do it significantly faster than just any in-time completion. We're also using the Normalized Aggregate Scores numbers, for clarity, meaning the top spec is marked as 100 and then the rest are ranked in relation to that peak point.
      All Keys
      95th percentile DPS
      The top 3 remains quite stable with the Evoker-Paladin-Warrior trio reigning supreme. We see the first change of the week right after that though, as Frost DK continues its upward march in dungeons as well as in raids, taking 4th from Elemental. Both DKs are on the rise, as Unholy also moves a spot up, taking advantage of Shadow's precipitous 5-spot fall to the bottom of the top 10. Arms remains stable as two Hunters burst in, Beast Mastery taking 8th and Marksmanship 9th, as Frost Mage disappears down towards the bottom. Speaking of the bottom, Devastation gets some new roommates there, as Outlaw and Destruction fall and give Enhancement and Feral a break.

      Mythic+ All Keys 95th Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      All Percentiles
      As with the top percentiles, the top 3 remains solid, but 4th is immediately changed, thanks to Shadow's massive drop in performance this week. The Priest loses even more ground here, falling 9 spots into 13th, opening 4th up for Arms. Beast Mastery moves even higher here, grabbing 5th and moving in front of Elemental and Frost DK, as Marksmanship brings up the rear and completes the Hunter sandwich in 8th. Affliction breaks into the top 10, just ahead of Unholy which dropped to the final spot.

      Mythic+ All Keys All Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      Raw DPS U.GG DPS Rankings
      U.gg's rankings are based on actual DPS taken from Warcraft Logs data, focusing on the top players and span the past two weeks.
      Frost DK finds itself on top in the raw DPS rankings, as Augmentation isn't calculated properly here. Fury and Arms grab the next two spots, moving ahead of Ret, and the Fyr'alath wins continue in 5th, where Unholy finished the legendary axe streak. Even Survival joins the Hunter good times in 8th, where all three specs gather, just ahead of Balance who closes out the top 10.
      Mythic+ All Keystone DPS rankings by u.gg.
       
       
      For even more in-depth data for each individual key head on over to Warcraft Logs. And if you're interested in more info on the specs themselves you can always check out our class guides (updated for the pre-patch), as well as our Mythic+ guides and Mythic+ tier list.

      MoP Remix characters that will transfer over to retail will receive a gear boost!
      With Patch 11.0.2 now live on Public Test Realms, you can copy over MoP Remix characters from retail! It appears all MoP Remix characters will receive a character boost so you can dive straight into action when the War Within expansion launches.

      We can't unfortunately log in to the game with the MoP Remix char on the PTR so we can't confirm the Item Level of gear for max level characters. However, keep in mind that the gear boost will scale with your level, so if you're below max cap, you will receive gear appropriate to your current level.
      When Can We Expect MoP Remix Characters to Transfer to Retail?
      MoP Remix ends on August 19, so we assume the characters will need to be transferred to retail by August 22 when Early Access begins.
