Stat Priorities

Stat Ranking

Single Target: Haste > Crit > Versa > Mastery

AoE: Haste > Crit >  Versa > Mastery

Stat Outline

Haste: Increases your auto attack speed and increases your focus regeneration while also reducing your global cooldown. It also reduces the cooldown of Kill Command, Wildfire Bomb, and Butchery, and also increases the DoT damage of Serpent Sting.

Crit: Increases the chance for all your attacks to deal double damage.

Versatility: Increases the damage of all your spells and abilities and reduces incoming damage.

Mastery: Increases the effect of Mastery: Spirit Bond, which increases the damage of both yours and your pet's focus spending abilities. Unfortunately, it does not increase the damage of Wildfire Bomb, which is our primary damage ability in AoE.

The best way to calculate stat priorities for your character is to "sim" your character. Method Raider Jaerv has written a series of Metafy articles to help!
