Currently both Chronowarden and Scalecommander have similar stat priorities with both heavily investing into Mastery and playing Motes of Possibility along with Clairvoyant. As a Chronowarden Crit is very slightly better than Haste but they are extremely close. As a Scalecommander they are equivalent. Versatility is awful for both Hero Talents.

Item level is by far the most important aspect of gearing for non jewellery slots. On jewellery it can be worth dropping a small amount of item level for better stats, as Augmentation does not scale very well with secondary stats.

Currently Mastery is significantly ahead of any other stat until you get close to the Second Stat DR around 1840 Mastery. At that point it is approximately equal to Haste and Critical Strike Chance. Prior to that you would prioritise it trying to get as much as possible, ideally having Critical Strike Chance or Haste as the second stat on the item.

As a Chronowarden with Double-time, you gain the ability to critically strike with Ebon Might and Prescience, increasing the power of those buffs by 50% on Critical Strike. This improves the power of Critical Strike above that of Haste making it Augmentations second best stat.

Intellect is your primary stat. You should look for this stat in all of your upgrades. It provides you with Spell Power, which increases the damage of your spells.

Mastery ( Mastery: Timewalker) causes empower spells you cast to give a DPS Shifting Sands which grants Versatility to another ally for 10 seconds. Additionally, it increases the duration of Shifting Sands, Breath of Eons, Ebon Might, and other helpful Auras.

Critical Strike increases your chance for your abilities to deal 200% damage. Sands of Time means your Ebon Might extension effects can Critically Strike, increasing the amount of extension granted by 50%.

Haste increases your spell casting speed (including Empowered Spells) and the tick rate of your periodic effects.

Versatility increases all your damage and healing done, and decreases all damage taken.

Every stat has a limit where they will begin to offer less increase per point gained, which are known as the points of diminishing return. Once you have reached these amounts, stats will become progressively less valuable and may fall behind other options. The current breakpoints are:
