Wondering if it would be worthwhile to spec everything into Haste and Versatility if I’m looking to build entirely for defensive Mythic+? (as opposed to high DPS) – or is Vers/Haste not the best?
Yep, Vers/haste with ilvl being priority are what you’re aiming for.
Vers = more defense and offense
Haste = faster generation of resources and cooldown reductions on your defensives
That’s why they’re the best.
Same as Havoc - verse is the main stat, secondary can be haste. It why I love this class
From what I understand, it’s haste ≥ verse >>> mastery >>> crit.
And the nice thing? Makes switching to havoc really easy, since it’s just about the same. Havoc has higher priority on crit than mastery, but that doesn’t matter that much.
I like vers= mastery then haste crit. Mastery increases armor on demon spikes and attack power. If you go demonic then even better
Mastery is considered a terrible stat precisely because it only affects demon spikes. It provides more mitigation when you already have mitigation active. Our problem is not the damage we take while DS is up, its the damage we take when DS is down. This is why Vers is much more useful, and haste is better because it increases DS uptime, as well as Fiery Brand uptime too due to the legendary. Mastery is just generally a really bad stat to invest into at all. It should be avoided whenever possible.

It increases attack power too. I use Darkglare and since I spend so much time in meta, when I’m out of meta I use the kyrian sigil and then 2x spikes. After those drop, fiery brand, spikes and then fel devestation all over.
I can see your point, but I disagree mastery is a waste with this leggo. Other Veng on which you don’t reset fel devestation then I can see why haste would be more important.
Every one of our stats provide damage, the same as mastery, so there’s no real benefit there. Running Darkglare is fine, if you don’t really care about pushing content, but the fact that its totally unreliable makes it distinctly worse than the Fiery Soul leggo for any real meaningful content. Mastery has always been a problematic stat for us, because its simply a ‘win-more’ stat. It provides more mitigation when you need it the least, and absolutely zero mitigation when you need it the most. Haste and Vers provide more reliable mitigation that works all the time, rather than simply while DS is up, which is why those two stats have always been our very best stats, and will continue to be until our Mastery is reworked to something else.
