Dautz Shadow Priest

[Firecrest]

i can think of a few reasons for "strange" reforgings. maybe he's reforging into and out of some stats because he's sharing gear with his heal set.

That's definitely a valid point I hadn't thought of.

or you can also do stuff like reforge mastery->spirit on one piece and then spirit->haste on another.

That doesn't make any sense. Why not just reforge both of them to Haste?

Outside of hitting various caps, each class should be able to look at their stat prio and all reforging should be into just one or two stats. I don't see why anyone of any class would reforge into more than two stats (again, cap stats like Hit don't count).

So, for example, MMO-Champ (probably wrong, but this is just an example) says that the values of optional stats for SPriest are Haste > Crit > Mastery > Spirit. Based on this list, I would expect that (after hitting his Hit cap) this applicant should be reforging into Haste on everything possible and into Crit on anything that already has Haste. There's no reason to reforge into Mastery or Spirit - these two stats should always* be reforged out of.

*SPriest is kind of a crappy example due to the association between Spirit and Hit (which could cause you to leave or even reforge into Spirit as you worked towards cap), but hopefully that made sense.


Edit:
Put much more simply: Mastery is clearly a Shadow Priest's worst stat. Why the fuck did you reforge into it?
