2.2. Statistics Priority

Strength is your primary statistic. You should look for it in all of your upgrades. It provides you with Attack Power, which determines the damage your abilities do.

Mastery ( Mastery: Hand of Light) increases all Holy damage done by our abilities. Note that this does not affect Racial Traits and trinket effects.

Haste increases your attack speed and lowers the global cooldown of all abilities. Additionally, it reduces the cooldown of your Holy Power generators Blade of Justice, Judgment, Hammer of Wrath, and Crusader Strike.

Critical Strike increases your chance to critically hit with all spells and abilities.

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