Thinking about testing full Mastery arms PVP after the Bleed Buffs coming this Tuesday. What is everyone thoughts on the viability of this build since were being forced to be a bleed class.
Hi there.
Arms mastery increases the amount of damage dealt to targets affected by Deep Wounds, not the damage of Deep Wounds itself. For PvP our stats will probably continue to be Haste/Mastery>Vers>Crit for damage output.

Mastery makes you do more damage to targets affected by deep wounds, it has no interaction with how much damage the dot does itself, but I’m playing mastery right now and it’s very fun, I suggest you try it if you like big numbers.
I mean, the damage taken increase does apply to deep wounds itself, so mastery does increase the damage of deep wounds, ableit indirectly.
Yeah, to a basically insignificant degree. This used to pop up all the time in the Warrior Discord where people seem to think that by putting a bunch of mastery gems/enchants on that it’d double the damage of wounds or something.
Still, looks like a more reliable stat than crit.
