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: the sim measured no DPS change from Stamina.

Ours RecommendationSpell power › Hit › Spell crit › Stamina › Intellect

Where ours differs: ours puts Intellect after Spell crit and Stamina, which all 3 guides rank lower.
