I haven't been seeing anything similar. If you could pastebin the profile I'd take a look, but I have yet to see a profile that doesn't weight Mastery unless you are extremely close to a small breakpoint beak that over-values it for some particular reason.

from what youve seen so far would you say the priority is still mas-vers-haste or has it changed to mas-haste-vers?

I would assume Mas > Vers > Haste, since that's the priority listed in the guide.

I see some variance depending on gear that can, in some cases, swing it to Mast > Haste > Vers, but those tend to be in weighted gear scenarios. The weights I work with are usually normalised to 4500~ per stat to give equal footing for players in regular gear. Further than that it's generally best to sim your own char and see how much the different gear affects weights and act accordingly.

A lot of false information being spread in the comment section here. Here are some facts regarding stats.

How much haste do I need?

It is not currently advised to build for haste to the exclusion of mastery. There exists a haste breakpoint of significant DPS increase @ 20% haste, however it is very difficult to itemize for, and the lost mastery if you don’t get to the haste breakpoint will hurt your DPS significantly.

Furthermore, the 20% haste breakpoint is based on getting a 5th GCD into Battle Cry, which is effected by lag. Therefore, the breakpoint may actually closer to 23-25% haste, depending on your latency.

What is my stat priority?

Mastery > Strength > Versatility > Crit, with haste either being ahead of Mastery, or ahead of Versatility, depending on how close to the 20% haste breakpoint you are.

Wait, haste over versatility?

Yep. Here’s a chart giving some explanation as to why

I can't really give an answer for this. It's likely that they did 1 sim, took that result and posted it as the best stat priority.

I'll take a look through some plots over the weekend and see, as I have been seeing the trend to haste a bit recently. I'll try and get the main page updated in the next couple of days to reflect that, thanks for giving the heads up :)

hey fellas, today done a HoV mythic eventho I changed my lootspec at odyn to get the trinket called gift of radiance, and I have a question for you! Which trinket now I should use? I have an ilvl 835 str+mastery WQ trinket, Gift of Radiance ilvl840, Natures Call ilvl 850 and Terrorbound nexus ilvl840, I used the last two and managed like 300k dps to hold on bosses like ursoc. Best in slot section suggests the wq mastery trinket, but I'm a bit sceptic since I saw noone equipping those trinkets?!

The best way to figure this out with varying item levels will be SimCraft for sure. Simply sim each trinket combo to see which works best!

Question regarding the Artifact relic trait. I know item level is what essentially matters. However should we ultimately be aiming to have 3 relics all with the same trait or 1 of each?

How are u guys handling rotation now? For me stacking FR x 3 seems like a bit wrong to go with... Any suggestions on how rotation should go, whether to use Slam or completely ignoring it?

Hello,

 In execute phase -20%. Say you have the shattered defense buff up and + 40 rage, do you prio execute over mortal strike ? Because of the extra dmge if you consume up to 30 more rage with execute, at this point execute should hit harder then CS.

Also if so does this countnfor both normal build and FR build?

The guide clearly states this:

  1. Cast Mortal Strike Icon Mortal Strike (regardless of Focused Rage Icon Focused Rage stacks) above 20%.

I do know that, but with MS on cd rage should be spent on slam?

If you can find 3 relics that all have the highest item level possible and have EtW, go for it!

Only if you are already at 3 stacks of FR, at least that's what the guide eludes to, or if you are in BC.

Hey, anyone know's what's the cap of mastery?

There isn't really a "cap" I can give you. Instead, consider stat weights as a fluid motion of numbers. When one moves, another will. When that other ones move, another will move and so on. Your cap on mastery will change depending on how much of the other stats you have.

According to simcraft rotation rules simc uses slam if MS is on cooldown and FR only in Deadly Calm Phase. I changed simcraft rules to slam at 3 stacks of FR and to use FR if not at 3 stacks and get a 15k drop in results. Can anyone confirm that with Arms nerf Slam is the new replacement to spam instead of FR? If yes, please update this guide.

I'll get @wordup on checking this. Thanks for looking into it and coming back with further analysis/results. I'm not super up-to-date with the Arms stuff, so I'll leave Wordup to the more complex help.

      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.

    • By Starym
      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.
