Reforging as Elemental

[seam]

That only requires about 1000 mastery rating.

27 mastery?

I'm at around 13 mastery with a 360 or so iLevel, and around 800 rating.

also, i could be wrong here, but if you do find yourself below the hit cap, reforge to spirit, don't gem it, it's surely better to be savin' gemslots for int rather than hit/spirit

There are times when it can work out. Like if you have a yellow socket and a 20+ int bonus.

But overall, yeah, reforge before gemming Spirit.

That only requires about 1000 mastery rating.

not entirely sure since i haven't played properly in ages... but i'm fairly confident its a bit more than that.
also fairly weird since he mentioned he's actually reforging all of his mastery into haste anyways

Here is some visual evidence to support my claim.

It you read clearly, he stated 27%.

It seems me and seam have made the mistake of interpreting the previous claim as mastery rating, rather than the chance for elemental overload to proc.

Indeed.

You should have more than 13% mastery if you have 800 mastery...

Heres my armory http://us.battle.net/wow/en/characte...ndpab/advanced

I need to fix a couple enchants and 1 gem, and that'll make me lose more mastery, but gain int...I've just been too lazy.

for clarification, you mean 13% to proc elemental overload.
your mastery != EO proc chance.

using the above screeny as an example.

13.49 mastery = 985 mastery rating = 26% chance for elemental overload proc

My bad. I read 27, and generally people say 27 as the amount of mastery, not the proc chance.

And here I was expecting a quick answer =\ . Maybe I'm having trouble interpreting

you're hit capped, and/or you have excess hit or spirit, do the following:
1. If an item has hit/spirit and crit, reforge hit/spirit to Haste if you have excess hit rating, otherwise reforge crit to Haste
2. If an item has hit/spirit and haste, reforge hit/spirit to Mastery if you have excess hit rating, otherwise leave it alone
3. If an item has hit/spirit and mastery, reforge hit/spirit to Haste if you have excess hit rating, otherwise leave it alone
4. If an item has crit and haste, reforge crit to Mastery
5. If an item has crit and mastery, reforge crit to Haste
6. If an item has haste and mastery, leave it alone!

If you're not hit capped, gem and enchant for it first, then follow the rules above. If you absolutely have to, reforge crit to Spirit to reach the hit cap.

In other words, reforge crit to either haste or mastery whenever possible, depending on the other secondary stat on the item.

But in a situation where there is no spirit to be spared, and mastery on the item (But no haste) you leave the mastery as is? My head hurts, is it dinner time yet? Where's my coffee?

Read point 2 and 3. You have the option to reforge either haste into mastery or mastery into haste, none of which is done.

Hence Haste=mastery>crit

The mastery tooltip is bad. 13.49 mastery = 26.98% chance for EO.

normally in my gear i dont really reforge mastery. i like leaving it around 15% so i get a 30% extra attack. and haster around 13% currently so with totem its 18% and what ever other buff i seem to be getting normally puts my haste over 20% but yeah..i dont reforge mastery if i can afford another stat.
