So, every guide I’ve found had stated that Haste = Mastery in terms of priority. Which is better tho? Which should I prioritize? I can get my mastery close to 80% and that drops my haste down to about 28%. During lust phase I’ll comfortably sit over 100k.
If I swap to a haste priority utilizing the Expedient pieces I have, swapping gems/chants, I can bump my haste up to 35% (if I get rid of claw or psych shredder for Vita Charged, I can bump that up to about 39% base) but my mastery drops down to the mid to lower 60s. But I feel like my dots take a large hit by dropping 10-20% mastery, even if I’m chugging away quicker.
To the afflocks out there, what are you doing? I mean, I guess I could just swap to destro. But destro is so boring imo. 
And Demo feels clunky (even tho demo is why he wanted to play a lock in the first place).
Help me master warlocks! You’re my only hope!
In what content? Haste is typically king for single target fights, but the best answer is to sim yourself and see what stats it’s telling you are best.
I’m waiting for the thing to update my gear after logging out, lol, cause I’m too lazy to manually change each piece to match what I’m using.
But I primarily do mythic plus (I know, 1⁰000% not the ideal spec for it) and mostly casual PvP (with the occasional arena matches when I’m bored and my buddy is online). I typically run with the same people every time I do a dungeon on this toon (the healer us usually what we pug in). We have a blood DK who pukes twilight dev, a havoc DH who pukes twilight Dev, and an assassination rogue (who also doubles as a hunter some keys). They designated me as their boss damage, lol, cause they all puke TD on all the trash mobs (and I only seem to get stat corruptions and the 1 rank 1 tentacle and R2 IS).
I really prefer mastery for M+ while still trying to keep a decent amount of haste, but if you really are purely there to kill bosses then haste may be your better bet.
I try to be competitive on trash damage, but it usually doesn’t work. I usually do 50-60k while everyone else is doing 120+ stupid twilight dev.
It can be hard to keep up on trash until you’re up in the 18-19+ range. I run triple sudden onset and it helps a lot to push numbers when trash actually lives long enough.
I’d recommend using vile taint over phantom if you’re trying to stand up on trash. I also run visions of perfection to get more darkglares going on larger trash pulls.
