Simcraft's stat weights

[Carsten 0]

Hello everyone !

With our stat weights depending on our gear I wanted to check out how close haste and crit were.

SC kind of shocked me with the following stat weights :

Crit : 2,9232

Mastery: 1,9852

Haste : 1.6447

I did 50000 iterations with a 450 sec Patchwerk fight.

Then I reforged as the stat weights told me and did another SC with the same options, obtaining :

Crit : 2,8957

Mastery : 2,0057

Haste : 1,5687

I never heard about fire mages preferring mastery over haste, so I want to ask you guys if I should follow these stat weights or go with the traditional crit>haste>mastery ?

If you have the Tier 13 4-piece bonus, it could be explained by the fact that you get to cast Combustion a lot more frequently, thus increasing the amount of damage you do with DoTs, and in turn, increasing the benefits you get from your Mastery.

I understand that, though all high end raiding mages have the 4T13 and they still avoid mastery as much as possible.

Do you think I should reforge to mastery or haste after crit ?

I think you should go for Critical Strike Rating and then for Haste Rating. There has to be something wrong with the simulation results.

Will do, thank's for your very late help ;)
