The DPS each stat adds, for a level-60 character on the engine's preset gear in a 2-minute fight on a beta engine: a direction, not a verdict. = marks a tie: stats within each other's margin. Not counted toward "Guides agree".

Our order matches the sim's lists for the stats both name.

Ours RecommendationArcane and Nature spell power › Hit › Spell crit › Intellect › Spirit

Ours adds Hit, which neither guide lists.

Where ours differs: ours puts Spell crit before Intellect, which both guides rank higher.
