Hi all,
Loving my Mistweaver alt. Just have a couple questions.
From my understanding (for M+), stat priority is Mastery > Haste >= Vers = Crit. Does this seem correct?
I see sites advertise the stat priority above and then recommend haste food / gems / enchants instead of mastery. Why is this? Should I be using Mastery instead?
Thanks all!
I actually use more crit than haste or vers. It tends to be somewhere around 15-1800 mastery, 1k crit, and then whatever i’m feeling into haste/vers. I can’t remember which top end m+ mw said it on stream (may have been the man vibezz himself, but im not 100% sure) but they said something along the lines of losing value out of our mana if we go with a haste/mastery build with low crit. It’s great and all if we can cast quickly, but if we’re running OoM and don’t get any meaningful crit heals out then our party is dead anyway. Having 25%+ crit with a solid 70-80% mastery will yield incredible heals while only having to react ~10% faster on certain pulls. If you’re consistently running keys, though, you should be able to prepare for incoming damage that you’ve already seen prior, making it easy to react to those high burst points.
That’s my 2c anyway. It’s worked out really well for me, but I generally don’t go above 12’s 13’s because I like to play a little more relaxed.
Makes sense to me. I appreciate the input!
Our stat weights in keys is pretty even, but like what was said above having a good amount of crit plus mastery gives your heals more oomph. I enjoy crit also because my dmg is better as well. Atm I have 24% crit 18% haste 77% mastery and 8% Vers.
For me personally I value mastery and crit over everything else. I’d rather have harder hitting heals I have to cast less often than have faster cast spells that are weak. It’s worked really well for me but I too only pushed keys between +10-13 for a more relaxed yet still challenging play. I did however skip this current season of m+ bc well life

I appreciate all the input. It does seem like there is a consensus that crit and mastery are go-to M+ stats. Thanks all!
