Versatility

Hi warriors, could someone let me in on the %stat you should be reaching in pve with versatility? I’ve been using Pawn, but it just tells me if somethings an upgrade or not. I’m currently sitting at 6% versatility and wondering if going any lower would actually be detrimental.

The problem with pawn is your stat weights are constantly fluctuating, and haste/crit/mastery can frequently swap places. Vers will always be your worst dps stat though.

I wouldn’t bother with Vers for PvE.

Quick and dirty reply: Stop using pawn, and start using sims via Top gear on Raidbots.

More detailed version:
All stats are good for warriors. As mentioned above, this causes Pawn to flip flop a ton. Basically meaning that every time you get new gear your Pawn string is going to change when you equip it. Maybe it won’t change by much, but it will change. If left unchecked will lead you astray.
Next, your stats will change in priority a bit depending on what spec we’re talking about. Vers and Haste are insanely good for Prot warrior. Haste and Mastery are big for Fury. Lastly, Crit, Haste, Mastery are all good for Arms. So in order to remove a lot of the confusion, it’s best to just sim yourself with the Raidbots Topgear.

I am primarily a M+ player. on the cusp of 2.5K rating (2498). I only have the 2 piece set and my ilvl is 409.5 equipped. I use raidbots and sim using dungeon slice. Currently I am sitting at the following and my stat weights are now nearly identical with vers being more favored:

Crit: 2,758
Haste: 3,150
Vers: 725
Mastery: 4,011

I am using the Algethar puzzel box trinket and the embellished plate pants that grant haste. Do with this information what you will, but as others have suggested sims > stat weights.

Yessss i knew i needed those pants, i just cant find a bs to make 5 star. Thanks for the tip. When you meant 2 piece set, are you talking about the raid set or the primal infused that increases secondary stat? Thanks for the information from everybody btw.

Raid set. It is the worst raid set in the game pretty much for DPS increase, but it is still worth it as long as you aren’t dropping more than a few ilvls to take it. I kinda lucked out though and have 415 and 418 pieces from my M+ vault rows. If it helps, I was also using that 2 piece from the world storms that increases the secondary tat for some time when I was in low M+, it sims well. Eventually it is replaced though as it can’t increase in ilvl.

Versatility is not typically a prioritized stat for DPS warriors.

You usually want haste to ~20%+, and after that Mastery > Crit = Haste > Vers. Something like that. But as they said, simming your top gear (of what you currently have) is better.
