Do you guys have a favorite secondary stat that is no longer in the game? It doesn't matter if it was cool for the actual gameplay, nostalgia, fun, whatever.
Mine, now that I think about, was MP5 before Cata.

As someone who mained Warrior for a while I always liked Arpen. Once you got loads of it at the end of an expansion it was just so awesome.

I liked the idea of Armor Pen but I understand that it was a wonky stat with very much all or nothing properties based on how it worked for raiding.
I didn't play a healer but MP5 is something that I think made fights more interesting. If you know a fight is shorter with bouts of spikey damage you could replace your MP5 with crit or haste or something else. If you knew the fight was a 15 minute fight with constant but lower damage then you could put more MP5 on and conserve your mana.
I wish there was a way they could re-implement MP5 and resistances. Maybe making them something of a tertiary stat and making a system where you can modify your gear with any tertiary stat for a cost. Maybe bring back reforging but only for tertiary stats. Obviously they'd have to nerf leech, speed, and avoidance as they are right now if every piece of gear can be outfitted with it and not have it roll randomly but I think it would add a neat dynamic since you'd be able to actively swap your tertiary stats based on the type of content you're doing and from fight to fight in raiding.

this. So this. Multi strike on Ele Shaman was amazing. Nothing like proccing off your prices, or when you'd be over 100% mastery that also caused multi strike.... Originally Posted by Shedarion

I get the love for ArP, but it was only ever made that effective for LK. You could see the problem even in the beta.
I miss defense rating.
A lot of folks would just go to "uncrittable" but truth be told if you were a warrior or a paladin if you kept going until unhittable it was a huge reduction in all physical damage taken. For warriors it also synergized incredibly well with dodge for revenge and parry-hasting was a huge deal.

Multistrike, Armor Pen and Hit (Hit is mostly due to the fact that I missed having to do gear management).

Well, at one point they were different. For a long time we had what was called the five second rule, wherein our mana regen from spirit would completely cease for 5 seconds after we spent mana. So we'd cast spells in bursts, then rest to allow ourselves to regen. MP5 worked all the time, but we almost always have much less of it than regen from spirit. Originally Posted by ashblond

Hit.
I like the fact that I had to do some research into the optimal stats for the gear and then do better due to the research. Currently it's "OMG higher ilvlZ, EQUIP, EQUIP".

I liked spell/element power and elemental resistances/absorbs (phased out now), but fully understand why the game shifted away from them and wouldn't want them back now without other major changes being made.
I have fond memories of doing stuff like making a Holy Protection potion on the fly to fight groups of enemies that would otherwise kill me, or the joys of Prismatic Potion in PvP.
