Could mastery work for affliction? I understand the benefits of haste, but itd be nice to actually chase a different stat for once and make dots hit harder.
I think it could. I chased mastery and crit with demo and like it quite a bit. I’d probably change that in the future to mastery and haste, but mastery has been rewarding to me. You could always start off with the honor sets and experiment first. Pretty easy to get a dual set with a short amount of grinding.
Absolutely not, for some reason people try to theory craft stats that are just bad. At low rating anything works but unless you’re able to juke and cast you won’t do damage…
Demo with a little mastery is fine but stacking it is awful. Casters need Haste.
Most importantly the GCD being miserably long and unable to spam fears is wild.
There’s no way a Mastery or Crit stacking Lock will succeed over a Haste stacking Lock of all specs.
Logic Question:
2 + 2 =
Answer for Stacking Haste: 4
Answer for Stacking Mastery or Crit: Apple
i’m not theorycrafting anything, i’m asking a very simple question
you dont think its lame that every single season is just chasing haste year after year? thats insanely boring imo
It is lame but that’s all casters pretty much. It’s honestly the easiests stat to balance around.
If Crit or Mastery are the go to stat for a caster, they’re probably globaling people.
I feel like mastery is not what to gear for with aff. Yes it makes dots hits harder but im sitting at like 20% mastery with no mastery gear. Just haste/vers.
I bought 4 pieces of mastery conquest, boots/ring/bracers/gloves. I tried as Affliction and Demo, I swear I’m doing 40 to 50% less damage in the shuffles. I lost like 300 rating trying it lol
That seems very exaggerated, 4 pieces isnt going to halve your damage.
