Confused about stats

Community General Discussion
1

I have always been confused about the stats in the game. Please tell me if I am correct.

Haste, decrease cooldown and cast time.

Crit, increases crit damage and increase crit chance.

Mastery, depends on the class.

Versatility, increase damage, increase healing and decrease damage taken.

That’s correct generally speaking.

Then you go to Bloodmallet and find out what’s an upgrade and what not. Solved.

Or use raidbots to sim yourself.

Most classes have a rough guideline of what stats are good for them and the priority.

They’ve also added diminishing returns on stats for SL

4

Only for some specs (like prot paladin bread and butter abilities) does it reduce cooldowns. But, for most/all specs it reduces the global cooldown, which is the time you have to wait between using two abilities.

And you can combine with askmrrobot best in bags feature.

Lord, that button saved me hundreds of hours of napkin math.

You know raidbots can see what is in your bags too if you use simc addon in game and paste your string into raidbots :wink:

It can also tell you what upgrades you don’t have yet are most optimal to target.

7

Yeah I Yard that feature too, for some reason I find myself gravitating towards AMR.

Does raidbot import create gear sets as well?

8

I’m not really sure, I just sim for different content and have gear sets saved accordingly in game.

9

I see. I’m lazy so I just copy/paste and have different sets already made by the addon part.

I really wish they’d make the game simpler, having to sim everything is just… tiresome. And it takes away form the magic of earning loot since, well, it sims 10% less so garbage it is.

Or put Pawn addon(or similar ) , u will get a small green arrow indicates what is an upgrade based on your specialization .

This totally!! As Hexelyion said, it saves ages doing the maths

12

It is ironic that they had a dig at how the playerbase ‘obsessively sims’ when they created the problem.

13

I saw that too and I abstained from commenting.

I would’ve gotten a very long forum vacation if I spoke my mind.

I wish they could integrate pawn.

15

Or any gear guide to be fair.

Pawn relies on you simming and updating your string all the time though

At best it’s a guideline.

I know, simming is just tiresome. I like that it tells me if something is an upgrade in the tooltip.

Generaly speaking:

  • Crit increases only chance to land critical hit
  • Haste decreases spell cast times, time between HoT and DoT ticks, cooldown on some abilities (those with green cooldown text) and global cooldown
  • Mastery works differently for each spec
  • Versatility increases damage and healing DONE; and also gives half as much reduction of damage taken

Crit and haste have also additional functionality for some classes. For example, destro warlock’s Chaos Bolt always crit and crit stat increases damage done by Chaos Bolt. Haste increases frequency of some procs (can’t name any right now, but I’m 100% sure) - I mean, if some passive triggers 3 times per minute haste can increase amount of procs to 4 times per minute.
