Got nothing but Crit and Mastery gear, and its generally how I always preferred to build. Am I losing out too much on the Haste scaling?
Right now Haste is our biggest stat, so if you’re going out of your way to ignore it then the spec won’t feel the way it’s designed to.
Feel is roughly the same since the GCD is always 1s regardless of Haste, since WW Monk is an Energy class. Although it does suck to run out of Energy if you spam Tiger Palm too much at low Haste.
The main reason you need Haste is because Fists of Fury double-dips on it due to Momentum Boost (reduced channel + more damage).
in addition, you have the bottom right capstone following the SotWL line. it is INCREDIBLY useful in single target considering our tier set and i expect it to be a must take for WW going into the raid. this is yet another reason haste is so vital to the spec now.
my rough read on the stats are:
haste >>> vers ≥ crit/mas
