What is Mastery?

Mastery in game is basically Dexterity? Which improves class abilities or “technique”?

It’s different for every spec you have to read what it does. It’s a skill your spec has mastered over others

Yes if only the game would stop dropping me so much gear with mastery on it, troll stat on my spec

Each spec has a unique Mastery passive that unlocks at level 10 that usually grants percentage buffs to a crucial part of how the spec plays. Those percentages scale with your Mastery stat, with diminishing returns.

Some specs have better Mastery passives than others, which is why it isn’t a BIS stat for all specs.

Mastery is a lazy stat Blizzard came up with that means nothing so they can customize it to each class. Each class has their own things that mastery improves, there’s nearly nothing in common with how it works between classes or even specs.

For example, here’s all the warlock masteries:

https://www.wowhead.com/spell=77219/mastery-master-demonologist

As you can see, each spec has its own mastery and they are completely unrelated. They all increase damage but in different ways with different spells.

the fact that they make it do different things for all different specs is the polar opposite of lazy >.>
