Affliction Warlock 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.
Guides differSpell power first on every guide; the order after it differs.

| Sim · stat weights level 60 · run 12 Oct, 5,000 iterations | Per 1%: Spell crit 6.48 › Spell hit 5.54 › Spell casting speed 4.19 Per point: Spell damage 0.497 › Shadow spell damage 0.417 › Intellect 0.245 › Mana every 5 sec 0.151 › Fire spell damage 0.0667 No DPS change in this run: Stamina, 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". Where they differ: ours puts Hit before Spell crit, which the sim weighs higher per 1%; the sim measured no DPS change from Stamina or Spirit. |
| Ours Recommendation | Shadow spell power › Hit › Spell crit › Intellect › Stamina or Spirit Our order matches the guides' wherever they all agree. |
