Fury Spec - Haste to Mastery changes

[Nisador 0]

Hello everyone,

First topic on Icy! (English is not my native language so sorry about the mistakes :D)

I am very curious about the massive stat revamp I can observe from 7.1 deployment. I gave a look at several top DPS fury and I saw they prefer now mastery over haste. Can someone explain to me what justify the changes?

Is that only due to the +8% dmg (on BT, RB, Rampage) we got with the patch?

In case if you're interested to "optimize" me (I read this morning a lot of your advices), please find armory and logs (6/7Hm last wednesday - I have looted 5 pieces of gear during the raid)!

Some examples:

• http://eu.battle.net/wow/fr/character/Drak'thul/Qadesh/advanced (1st score on Warcraftlogs but not easy to see he's changing)
• http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/character/the-maelstrom/Aristides/simple (2nd score on Warcraftlogs)
• http://us.battle.net/wow/en/character/malganis/Tidalsurge/advanced (3rd score on Warcraftlogs)
• http://us.battle.net/wow/en/character/mannoroth/Archimtiros/advanced

You can navigate here, you see that most of the Fury warriors are revamping to Mastery.

I don't think that they're stacking mastery over haste, just that mastery is our best stat after haste & str, and a lot of the high-end gear has mastery on it. No one is socketing or enchanting for mastery either, most everyone is still doing the Saber's Eye of Strength and Quick Dawnlights, along with the typical haste/str enchants.

I'm at ilvl 856 with just under 32% mastery without even trying (26.15% haste).

If it's only that, my bad then :p

So it's not really necessary to reach 30% haste anymore ? (soft cap?)

Thank you for your time!

The goal for the haste 'soft cap' is ~24-26%, as that allows an extra GCD during Enrage. Haste continues to be extremely potent beyond that 24-26%, so I consider that the bare minimum goal.

I'm kinda agreeing with OP as well. Here is my armory : http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/character/ysondre/Blastwaar/advanced 

I really focused on haste since everyone was claiming that it was the go to stat for fury. So here i am, sitting with over 12k haste. My mastery kinda went down and my crit is abyssimal. What I see from top raiders is that they are aiming for balanced stats now (ie 6kcrit 8khaste 8k mastery) and their dps is up the roof. Since I got Ceann-Ar charger my enrage uptime is about 75%. I'm wondering if dropping some haste for some mastery and some crit would be better than what I have now. 

 

For the record I'm doing the same Dps on dummies (315k) as I was doing with way lower ilvl but much more mastery.
