Reading stat values the right way

Every spec has a stat priority that shifts based on content. A fire mage in single-target raid mostly wants crit. The same fire mage in M+ trash mostly wants haste. The exact weights are different and the gear that's best in raid often isn't best in keys, even for the same spec.

This tool gives you the rough values for each stat in each content type so you can make gear and enchant decisions without running 4 separate sims. Use the values as relative importance, not exact DPS-per-rating numbers. The differences between stats matter more than the absolute numbers.

What you can decide with this

  • Enchant priority. Two enchant options with different stats. Pick the one your spec values more in the content you mostly do.
  • Gem choices. Three-stat versus single-stat gems. The math here tells you whether the small gain from concentrating one stat beats the flexibility of spreading three.
  • Reforge or re-craft calls. Crafted gear with stat freedom is worth optimizing. The values guide you toward the right secondaries before you spend the resources.
  • Spec-by-content swaps. If a spec values stats very differently in M+ vs raid, you might want two gear sets. The tool makes that visible at a glance.

Limitations

Stat weights are averages. Real performance has variance based on procs, trinket effects, talent choices, and how you actually play. A weight saying "haste is 1.0 and mastery is 0.85" doesn't mean a haste piece is automatically better than a mastery piece. It means haste is the safer bet when other things are equal. For high-stakes decisions (a new BiS, a tier set change), confirm with a sim.

Disclaimer: Approximation. Real WoW performance depends on talents, spec mechanics, procs, encounter effects, and more.
