Personally, I'd stick with what you currently have equipped. Bloodthirsty Instinct is one of your BiS trinkets atm.

Anyone have a good idea about stat weights to put into Pawn?  I know they change so maybe it'd be nice to break them down into a leveling weight and what to use while gearing from, say, 810-840.  Generalized, of course.  I am not finding any real deep discussion about what stats to go for.  The general consensus is agi > crit > vers > hast > mast.  However, when I look on simcraft I see that their 'ideal' gear setup has about 4 times more haste than versatility.  Is versatility gear hard to come by so they went for other gear?

Actually Haste and Versa are controversed. This leads to get both stats balanced.

I have 44% crit, 9% haste, 9% versa.

The best way to get weights is with Simcraft and simming your own character. We have general weights in the guide:

Quote
  • Agility: 1
  • Critical Strike: 0.79
  • Versatility: 0.73
  • Haste: 0.7
  • Mastery: 0.58

Just keep in mind that they are not perfect. They are not "correct" for your character, instead they are correct for a general Havoc DH.

Maybe I'm being dumb but...  where are these in the guide?  I see them listed as priorities but nothing with numbers.  Also, these are much closer to each other than I would've expected, so I'm glad I asked.

They're in the BiS section at the moment. You'll find them under Best in Slot > Evaluating Upgrades

I mean on mmo-champ official thread we put haste first. This leads to a balacing of both stats and difference between both is so marginal that you want to balance them on your gear as much as possible.

Hey Wordup and Blainie,

Thanks for your work on the guide. It's fantastic as a primer on how to think about DH builds and a quick go-to guide for builds. It's helped me experiment with different builds and talents and feel a lot more comfortable about how to cope with the recent patch changes.

That's entirely dependant on your current situation with stats. If I flatten stats down to 4500 of each secondary, the output is the following:

ss+(2016-09-28+at+01.03.55).png

Now, with Haste there are some points were it can eek out Vers, and obviously at very high Crit, Vers can outscale even that. With how close the DH stats tend to be in gear that you actually aim for, it's actually quite difficult to put a hard number on it.

Also just noting here, since they've removed the overwhelming majority of the significant changes from the Hotfix that happened today, things are virtually unchanged, outside of the damage hit that you will be taking from the FR/Fury/BL number changes. Other than that though, it's still the same choices and playstyle.

I know this is a weird question as I am blatantly not 100% focused on minmaxing my dps... BUT...

I use Fel Barrage in ST encounters - simply because I like the ability and think Chaos Blades to be quite the boring cd - and I'm sometimes using Eye Beam even in ST situations to generate more stacks of Fel Barrage. Is that a good idea or is it not worth using just for that? Is it maybe possible to sim a "rotation" like that? Would like to hear some opinions. :)

The difference between using FB vs. CB is about 2-5% in DPS in a simulated environment. You will be using Eye Beam in ST anyway, so that's not an issue.

The entry that's in the rotation is: 

Quote
  1. Cast Eye Beam Icon Eye Beam if you have the  Icon Anguish of the Deceiver trait.

Just follow that and you should be fine. The note about not using Eye Beam in single target is if you have an opportunity to use it on multiple targets later, such as an add phase coming soon etc.

From the guide:

Quote

1.1. Opening Rotation

  1. Use Potion of the Old War Icon Potion of the Old War just before the pull.
  2. Cast Metamorphosis Icon Metamorphosis to engage
  3. Cast Fel Rush Icon Fel Rush to activate Momentum Icon Momentum.
  4. Cast Chaos Blades Icon Chaos Blades if taken.
  5. Immediately cast Throw Glaive Icon Throw Glaive after activating Chaos Blades Icon Chaos Blades.
  6. Cast Fel Barrage Icon Fel Barrage if taken.
  7. Cast Fury of the Illidari Icon Fury of the Illidari.
  8. Cast Vengeful Retreat Icon Vengeful Retreat to trigger Momentum Icon Momentum again.
  9. Cast Throw Glaive Icon Throw Glaive.
  10. Cast Annihilation Icon Annihilation.
  11. Continue with Single Target Rotation.

That's generally the best way of doing it.

How much percentage of each stat should we have for Havoc?

There isn't really a meaningful %-figure that I can give you here. The best way of knowing when a stat starts falling off for your character in value is via SimCraft. You just sim your character and it gives you up-to-date weights on what stat is/is not beneficial for you at that point.

If you're looking for an exact breakpoint for each stat, it just isn't really there.

      We have another triple entry in the hotfix ledger, as Radiant Echoes gets more improvements in retail, while Season of Discovery and Cata Classic get additional class changes.
       August 7  (Source)
      Player-characters
      Steady Flight should no longer be removed after entering an Arena. Quests
      We tuned up the Prototype Shredder MK-03 so that “Eye for an Eye” can be completed. Radiant Echoes Event
      Increased Flightstone and upgrade Crest drop rates in the event. Reduced the HP scaling on all event bosses so that they should be killable in a more-reasonable timeframe. Developers’ notes: This includes both ‘minibosses’ (e.g. Hogger, Thorim) and final bosses (e.g. Remembered Onyxia, Ragnaros). Season of Discovery
      Hunter Heart of the Lion once again has a 100 yard range. Warrior The Focused Rage rune will now correctly reduce the cost of Meathook by 3. Cataclysm Classic
      Fixed an issue where Faerie Fire did not deal intended amounts of threat when used on NPCs targeting another unit.

      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.
