I'm a little confused on the MoP stat weights for Aff locks. I've looked into it and it SEEMS to be Int/sp-haste-hit-mastery-crit (not sure why hit was so low on the list) but another blog site stated 'mastery' was now top.

As some of the spells still seem to scale with haste I'm left scratching my head over these contradictions
Cheers

Hit is low probably because hit capped is not an issue. Of course this will change with the pre raid gear list.
I am not sure it is a good idea to keep in mind a definite stat weight. Just sim your character with gear upgrades to gem and reforge.

What abilities do you macro Blood Tap into, and could you type out the entire macro PLEASE

First, thanks for getting this out there, and with a fun tone.

Is this a work in progress? I notice that there is no mention of Soul Reaper in the rotation (or at all)

Which reforging utility should we be using after 5.0.4 is out? Ask Mr Robot seems to be updated but wowreforge not yet. I'd personally prefer wowreforge but meh. AMR still prefers haste over mastery for dw frost so it's not quite right or..?
Also the guide is for lvl90 not pre MoP so I dunno.

For Demo Lock: Mastery x Haste? What's better at 85 and 90?

Yeah of course, but shouldn't Gurtalaks procc push 2h over dw masterfrost, as it should proc on a good base compared to unholy.

As usual very well done and we thank you.

I don't see why stat weights should be intuitive to you. If you have a disagreement run your own sims.

Could someone delete this post please?

So currently the stat weight is Haste > Mastery > Crit until MoP?

Would that make Hurricane a better enchant than Landslide?

Thank you for this Esoth! I haven't had much time to play or test on the PTR so this is very helpful!

thanks for this

Thats true, but not in PvE.
