Grammar and formatting aside, run simcraft and figure out how to gear yourself. The guides are just that, guides.

Original Post:

Guys, i have a question that is yet unanswered to me. I'm a new player so bare with me. Haste, it's clear, we not goblins need to reach 2589 which is fairly easy with current gear levels.Then what?I asked some locks in high ranking guilds(guilty as sin, SHAC) at my server and they all said after that stack mastery, whether you are affliction or destro doesn't matter. However this guide supports that critical is more recommended.I quote:"179.28 mastery provides a 1.35% increase to all fire damage we do. As 90%+ of our damage comes from fire spells, mastery is not a bad stat, however, the increase per point is low enough that we will not prioritize mastery over crit or haste until much higher gear levels." Much higher levels means what right now? When the article was written i guess the priority was ok as shown, you had 359 so you tried for haste plateaus then you went 371 with which you could reach 2589 then i guess it was mastery all the way?I know simcraft etc which i will use the whole time. Just need an opinion from more experienced players. For instance anyone knows any soft caps for mastery and crit?Maybe we hit haste cap, then some crit cap then mastery cap?Anyone simmed mastery and crit gain after the 2589 cap?Thanks in advance and thank you EJs for lighting the way.
