Haste>crit for Enh?

[Shammtastic 0]

So i was reading the Reforging stats and priorities and i came across this point:

The stat priority for an Enhancement Shaman is:

• Agility;
• Hit Rating and Expertise Rating (until 7.5% caps);
• Mastery Rating and Haste Rating;
• Critical Strike Rating.

I play enhance and everything ive ever read has been haste is the stat u reforge out of. Can anyone explain why this changed in MoP?

These were simulation results from last week. Out of curiosity, I checked again today, with a newer version of simcraft and it now I get Mastery > Crit > Haste. It's always hard to properly define the stat priority when a patch is being released.

In any case, thank you for posting, as it enabled us to improve our guide a little. I'll deploy the fix soon ;)

glad to be of assistance, and btw, the guide is really damn helpful

I think the reason was that until a recent build, Flurry was broken for Enhance (I can't remember the details) thus making Haste artificially better for melee swings than previously (there may have been other factors) :)
