Question: Are there any considerable changes from TBC to WOTLK if any?
Question2: What stats do I prioritize?
Will probably off-spec later on to elemental but that's another day!
Yes! and quite many actually. first of all lava lash (off-hand skill)
and Maelstrom (5 stacks = 1 insta cast besides lava burst)
well for stats its a bit complicated.
i read on forums etc that the stats are many ways to build up. Agility, crit, haste, or even pure AP
i havent tested for agility or crit as main stat. im currently testing haste and its quite good.
Pure AP i wouldnt suggest it. it is good but once you reach 5.5-6k ap you dont see much of a difference
For Agility now i expect something between crit and ap. about 5.8 ap with a 50% crit chance is my guess.
Anyway. before looking at that you should aim first at capping hit rating (which is 17%. 14% if you are in a raid) and capping also expertise (that small 5% helps)
Every forum uses different numbers on priority. This is a small priority that i have currently in mind based on attack power
AP = 1
Main hand dps:5.7
Off hand Dps: 4.4
Haste rating = 2.5
Crit rating = 1.3 (after you reached the AP required)
Agility = 1.2 (gives 1 ap and mellee crit chance)
Intellect = 1.2 (gives 1 ap if you use Mental Dexterity and spell crit chance)
Strength = 1 (yes it does give 1 ap and only that xD)
Arm Penetration = 0.7 (personally a 20% armor reduction is always welcome but its not that usefull)
Should you wish to add hit rating and expertise into that stat priority is:
Hit Rating = 7.9
Expertise = 5.2
Hope that helps.
Take care, have fun and PISS!!!
