Correct me if I'm wrong, but barrage does same amount of hits regardless of haste, yes? Just slightly less channel time? I would assume by that logic that barrage output doesn't scale with haste at all.
Also someone please explain to me why BM stat prioritization is so up in the air. I regularly see Crit > Haste > Mastery, other people say Haste > Mastery > Crit, others say Haste > Mastery >= Crit. I'd like an answer other than "because the sim told me so". Aren't some sims (simcraft, femdwarf) notorious for overvaluing haste anyway? Besides, anyone who offspecs SV wouldn't want a garbage stat spread of haste > mastery > crit anyway.

Explosive shot does not "refresh".... the damage just keeps rolling over, so a change in your stats (agi, AP, crit, etc...) does not affect anything that happened previously. It only affects what happens after the change.
is where I got that info from. I think he's saying that because the agi multiplier isn't rolling over, you're losing crit on your refreshing explosive shots, and subsequently doing less damage.
