Arcane Pve question(against rawr)

[cfeuer1]

its telling me to put everything possible into mastery and say screw haste.

really go all mastery like this?

i use rawr as a good guideline, but its saying nothing but mastery.

It might help if you posted what your current stat ratings are at, but mastery is a great stat for arcane. From what I have gathered from all the research haste and mastery are very close actually. Especially if you already have high haste I think it makes sense to switch some over to mastery.

I reforge and gem and enchant for mastery for arcane. There is enough haste on all the gear to not have to worry about it.

That's actually incorrect, ever since the 4.1 buff dropping our AB to 2 seconds, haste was devalued to be our least important stat.

Generally it goes Mastery > Crit > Haste for arcane post 4.1, but always follow what Rawr/SimC tells you, because it depends on your current stats/gear.

You should be pushing toward Intellect primarily. Most important secondary stat is hit cap. So I'm assuming you mean that you do that after those two priorities.

before following rawr to the T,

19.48 (13.79)haste
32.16 (26.78)crit
15.60 mastery
7732 (7185)Spell

With 4 set tier 11, you won't need additional haste to reach the GCD cap during BL / Berserking / Shard of woe use. Mastery as a whole is way better than haste atm. int> hit > mastery> crit > haste.
In tier12, haste will once again be better than crit until you reach the GCD cap during BL/Berserk/shard

Assuming you have 4 pc, haste should be your lowest stat, with mastery being the highest. At least that's how it is for me.

If you don't have 4 pc, then haste should be right behind mastery (or possibly barely ahead of it)
