    Crafted Necklace for Hunter

    Quick question, is the crafted necklace with 1872 mastery with a socket. It can be upgraded further to 865 in patch 7.1.5, any good? Managed to craft one of these but not sure if they are any good compared to Nighthold necks. I don't raid mythic, but does heroic raids once a while. AMR has this neck ranked #2 behind the mythic NH "zealous" neck (don't remember the name exactly). Any advice would be appreciated!

    In patch 7.1.5 the secondary stats on jewellery are being completely overhauled and will grow exponentially with ilvl, making higher ilvl pieces more powerful. There are also a lot of class changes that haven't been finalised yet, which will change the weighting of all the secondary stats, and the value of secondary stats themselves are also being changed.

    In other words, you're just going to have to wait until the patch is released, and SimulationCraft is updated with all the changes, to find out.

    Sockets will only equal about +10 on necks/rings in 7.1.5. Necks get 78 stats per 5 Ilvl and rings get 76 per 5 Ilvl. So once its 15 ilvl increase socket is basically worse for the most part.

    It will probably be worth using for a month or two at least, unless you get super lucky on some titanforged piece. One of the other hunters in my guild has one and has been using it since September. Like Turtel said though, secondary stats are being scaled differently on rings/necks in the next patch, so higher ilvl pieces will actually be upgrades, but even then it's still a good neck. Mastery is the strongest stat for both BM and MM.
