    Rogues and Mastery

    So, I am raiding as assassintation on my rogue and I have noticed that I can go a few different ways with my stats. I have read EJ and these fourms and asked a few questions. Now my question is how much mastery is to much? Last time I checked I was sitting at 21 mastery which is equal to 73% more poison dmg. Is that to much and should I be reforging into maybe haste?

    You can't really reach an amount that is too much. So.... more and more mastery.

    Should I try and get more haste like maybe reforge some of the mastery away into haste?

    No. Mastery does not have diminishing returns or a cap, therefore mastery is always better than haste as assasination unless something changes and mastery's EP value changes.

    I already answered that in my first post.

    Keep stacking mastery, it isn't like hit rating where there is a certain cap and then it just go worse.

    As soon as you're hit capped, go mastery. Going master over hit without being capped is a terrible idea (Did this, and had to reforge to hit over mastery).
