What NEW Secondary Would You Want To Have?

[Deleted]

I'd like to see Versatility changed to work differently for each class, but then it'd just be a second "Mastery" stat :/

I don't think we need anything new. If only, I'd LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE to see Versatility removed. Useless junk stat.

I think Leech should be moved to secondary. It's a wonderful stat for farming older instances, and with enough of it, it can really help out the healer :-P It could replace bonus armor for tanks! That would be interesting to see.

Versatility is such an absolutely worthless stat to me. You have to stack a ridiculous amount of it to see any sort of value, and that's at the expense of other, more useful stats.

If they just multiplied Versatility x 1.25 in value. It would not be a worthless stat to any spec. It would be boring. But, who cares.

Area Damage? Critical Damage?

Area damages was discussed and in the beta prior to WoD and been abolished because it's to niche. A Area Damage gear piece is esentially useless in every singletarget situation.

Critical Damage doesn't make any sense because it is exactly the same as critical strike chance in terms of interaction, just that you must always try to keep them in perfect balance.

Regeneration. Just straight up increases your mana/energy/focus/rage/RP/whatever DHs use regen/generation.

[Aeluron Lightsong]

Only if they uncoupled that from haste though, otherwise it'd be broken as hell.

How would Regeneration as a Stat affect Holy Power? That's the only thing I wonder about.

Dunno, maybe for "combo point" classes it could give a chance to grant an additional point, and for rogues/monks it could have that and a lowered energy regen component.

I find extra stats pointless if we cannot manipulate stats.

This is why I said earlier that I can't really think of anything outside of crit/haste/mastery that is compelling enough to have in the game. And even if we had reforging back, what would be the point. We'd either all reforge out of a crap stat to our best stat or we have two bad choices to pick between. And when those choices come down to: do I want more damage? That's not choice, that's arbitrary numbers.

By comparison, the current balance of HP/MP vs. Crit vs. Haste vs. Mastery is about as compelling as you can get and it's too few to support reforging. It's a choice between more resource, bigger damage, faster damage, or a combination of the first three in a class specific way that impacts your rotation. That covers all possibilities.

Luck.

Increases proc chance of each class's procs like Fingers of Frost, Mongoose Bite, Arcane Missiles, trinket procs, etc.

I'd go with this, I've always likely the concept of a Luck stat in games, it makes for some interesting gameplay.

Get rid of everything and only have Versatility.

What, it's gonna happen anyway so why not embrace it?

[Kryos]

Cleave - % of dmg will cleave arround the target
Masochism - % of incoming dmg will be turned into a healing hot.
Sadism - % of healing will be turned into a 40 yard dmg blastwave every 10 seconds.

Greed: Increases the chance of drops and their rarity

I miss having defensive stats on my equipment for Tanking gear. I think making tank stats into Mastery, Bonus Armor, and Versatility was a step backwards in regards to class development.

[Damajin]

Versatility is a decent pvp stat for certain classes/specs and I don't mind it for that. They could really make it valuable by merging Speed into it rather than keep it separate.

Luck was a good suggestion, as was having Leech become a secondary.

It's not useless, it's just boring. It's a totally generic "every point makes you a little better" stat. It's got no flavor.
