Monkrim 0 Report post Posted April 7, 2013 Hello i am a windwalker monk who is a bit confused about the stats change. I have an haste rating of 8000+ Is my haste rating too low or to high. If so when it is to high to which stat should i converted it too? Mastery or crit? And would it be an dps increase or not? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Krazyito 521 Report post Posted April 7, 2013 Stat priority 5.2 gives us a lot more freedom in what stats to go for, as all stats can be good depending on the situation and your gear. I'd first like to address the haste soft-cap. While this was at 4K in 5.1, the change to mastery means that Combo Breaker will proc a lot less often. This means that it will take more haste to be able to fill every GCD. Good values to go for now are between 6 and 8k, depending on what setbonuses you have, how comfortable you are with your rotation, your latency, etc. Personally I like to stay just below 7k. After reaching the haste soft-cap, there's 3 recommended ways to gem and reforge: 1. No T15 4set bonus and no Rune of Re-Origination trinket: hit/exp caps > haste softcap > agility > crit > mastery > haste beyond softcap > hit beyond softcap Red sockets: pure agility Yellow sockets: agility + crit Blue sockets: agility + hit 2. You got the T15 4set bonus and good gear, but no Rune of Re-Origination: hit/exp caps > haste softcap > agility > mastery >= crit > haste beyond softcap > hit beyond softcap Red sockets: pure agility Yellow sockets: agility + mastery Blue sockets: agility + hit 3 Rune of Re-Origination: hit/exp caps > enough mastery to make it your highest secondary stat (without raidbuff) > haste softcap > crit > haste beyond the softcap > more mastery than is needed to make it your highest stat > agility > hit beyond the softcap Red sockets: expertise/agility + haste/mastery/crit (expertise gems will give you more secondary stats to play with, but take care to not go over the expertise cap) Yellow sockets: pure haste/mastery/crit Blue sockets: hit + haste/mastery/crit What gems to use will vary a lot, and it's not weird to use 5 different kinds of gems in different parts of your gear. Ideally your stats will look something like this: haste: 6.5k (softcap) mastery: 6.6k (just above haste) crit: 5.5k (rest into crit as long as it stays below mastery) As you gain better gear, all 3 of your secondary stats should stay very close to each other, with mastery being slightly ahead of the other two This is quoted from MMO-C windwalker monk guide, which i think is a very good and detailed guide. Take this and decide how you want to gem/gear. It seems though haste to cap, then mastery then crit. But they should all be very close in value.
