Can anyone tell me why haste is simming so high for me?

I simmed using Skullflower's profile (summonstone.com/2015/03/simulationcraft/) and instructions (including 10000 iterations)

Everything I see is saying haste is our worst stat, and I understand if it sims a little higher than that, but it being higher than mastery seems insane. Is this right?

What sorcery is this? I'll spare you the 'you probably screwed up', but short of that my only guess for these results would be to attribute it to voodoo.

Plague Leech drastically reduces the value of haste so if you are simming with any other T1 talent, you are going to see haste's value increase. Try redoing your sim with Plague Leech.

I'm still not getting this - here's what I am getting again



Am I doing something wrong with the profile?

Or the options?

Necroblight uses unholy blight. If you're using a necroblight simcraft profile, results should be actionable.

Edit: That's the right spec and actionlist for necroblight, yep. Note your wait time is 17%, which means you are not GCD-locked, so haste retains a lot of its value.

In practice I don't feel like I'm coming anywhere near 17% for wait time though. But I'm not really sure if there's a way to check that with logs?

Sure, go to the casts tab. You used 214 GCDs out of a 281s fight for an uptime of 76%. That equates a "wait time" of 24%, but you weren't actually waiting on resources for all of that. Unlike a sim, in a real fight you don't play perfectly, hitting abilities the millisecond they're available, and you don't have 100% time on target. You had a 10s gap between 1:25 and 1:35, for example, where you used no abilities at all.

Got it, that makes sense. Currently I have both Multi/Haste pieces that drop (ring and bracers), and my only non-multistrike piece is tier I can't replace for a while, so I'm not really sure how to fix it, or if there is anything that really needs fixing here at all.

[Schizoide]

There's not a whole heck of a lot you can do with gear, now that reforging is gone and gems are a tertiary stat. You could farm savage blood and customize crafted pieces, I guess. Depends how hardcore you are.

I don't really have any pieces I can replace with crafted, the only thing I could think of is rerolling my crafted belt to multi/mastery but the way I have it now, the multi is only 2 under the cap for crafted items so I don't think it would even be worth it then. I guess I'll just live with what I have and figure it out later when I get farther into mythic.

Thanks for the help!!
