Moonkin Stats - MH/BT/SW

[shinji2004]

Hey,

I have a few questions and I really don't have the time to crawl though over 50 pages at EJ, so I just might ask it here.

At what Buffed Spell Power does 1% haste = 1% increased damage.

and

As a Moonkin what %crit should I be aiming for?

Thank

Well currently I have 1198 UNbuffed Spell damage 152 hit(have balance of power so im hit capped) and 22.91% crit which works well for me. I also only have gear half way through BT

1% Haste is always 1% increased damage since you do spells faster regardless how hard they hit.

1 haste rating is normally said to be better then 1 spell damage after you get 1400 spelldamage including all buffs. (so it depends on the group you're normally in)

What should be pointed out is that it really isn't that simple, as you will have to balance it with your mana regeneration, and other stats.

Best tip I can give you is to look up the rawr mod, and input your data. Then it can show you how much more damage you should get on different items, and if you're really "hardcore" you can tell the addon, what gems, and gears you have available, and then it will pick out the best for you for the highest dps.

Hope this is of some use. =)

From what I've read, you start going 1:1 haste and spell damage when you've reached 1077spell damage. When you hit 1392 spell damage however, the general consensus is that 12 haste will be better than 10 spell damage.

from 1077 to 1392 using +12 spell dmg gems is better.
from 1392 and up using +10 spell haste gems is better.

General rule of thumb is, if you're not sure you need it, you probably don't! :D
