Arcane Mage stat priority
Each guide's stat order as it gives it, the sim's stat weights, then ours. Guides dated before the last big tuning are shown but not counted.
One guideOnly one guide ranks the stats.
| Where | Stat order |
|---|---|
| Guide · 24 Sep PvE, level 30 · read 12 Oct · dated before 1 Oct, not counted | Hit › Spirit › Intellect › Spell power › Crit › Stamina › Mana per 5 sec |
| Guide · 1 Oct PvE, level 20 · read 12 Oct | Hit › Spell power › Spirit › Intellect › Crit › Stamina |
| Guide · 9 Oct leveling, level 30 · read 12 Oct | Not ranked |
| Sim · stat weights level 60 · run 12 Oct, 5,000 iterations | Per 1%: Spell hit 8.63 › Spell crit 4.91 › Spell casting speed 0.659 Per point: Spell damage 0.511 › Arcane spell damage 0.457 › Intellect 0.134 › Mana every 5 sec 0.0576 › Fire spell damage 0.0484 › Spirit 0.0414 › Frost spell damage 0.0061 No DPS change in this run: Mana, Spell penetration. 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 Recommendation | Spell power › Hit › Intellect › Spell crit › Spirit Where ours differs: ours puts Spirit after Intellect and Spell crit, which the guide ranks lower; ours puts Spell power before Hit, which the guide ranks higher. |
