With the changes to mastery in 4.0.6 even though they are not drastic changes will bookings value grit more (suposively how it is now) or will mastery be a better overall stat tuen crit?
always crit>haste>mastery, always crit
From the theorycrafting I've seen, crit and mastery are very close at the moment, with crit normally slightly better. I would assume the mastery changes in 4.0.6 will push mastery slightly ahead of crit, but I haven't seen any math on that yet. Haste should be your first priority as things stand right now and I don't see that changing with the patch.
The stat priority can be briefly summarized as:
Int > haste = hit/Spirit > mastery > crit

agreed right now for PvE boomkin its Int>Haste>Crit>Mastery (assuming hit capped). Thats as of right now. i agree thou after therocrafting i think mastery will over take crit. Crit and Mastery are very close atm. the reason why i ask is because for those pieces of gear that have crit and mastery on them which would u reforge to haste. right nw it would be mastery but i am thinking in the next patch it will be crit?
