Far be it from me to question the wisdom of the robot. However, I’m really curious about the best in bags suggestion for my windwalker. It’s telling me to stack a lot of haste, to the point that haste is now my second highest secondary stat at 24%. This runs counter to every guide I’ve read; Wowhead, Icy Veins, and Method all put haste dead last for windwalkers. In tiers past, I’ve literally run 0% haste.
And, of course, Pandaren are not hasty by nature. The mantra of my people is SLOW DOWN.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,

I can take a look – what I’m seeing in that snapshot (and trying out BiS with a few setups) is that the optimizer generally sees all four secondary stats as good, but haste is edging out mastery a little as the 3rd best stat.
I can mess around with it and see if there is a tweak to the action priority being used that would push mastery above haste – I doubt it will impact performance much one way or the other because all four stats have good value for windwalkers, so I have no problem pushing it towards a more popular build.
If you say it’s OK, I trust you. It’s just unexpected, that’s all. However, I will also point out that the stat weights that come out of the optimizer also follow the other guides I have read. Here’s what I get:
Versatility=5.03, CritRating=4.97, MasteryRating=3.92, HasteRating=3.38
My reading of this is that versatility and crit are 49% and 47% more valuable that haste. If that’s the case, stacking haste seems like not the best idea.
That being said, my logs are looking really good, so I guess I shouldn’t argue. I even have a 100th percentile fight on mythic Volcoross for my ilvl bracket. I’m pretty far behind on gear because I didn’t star this tier until after the New Year.
Thanks for everything!

100th percentile… can’t beat that!
Yeah stat weights are always a bit tricky… For example, it could be the case for a spec that a high crit/haste/vers build is nearly as good as a high crit/mastery/vers build, but stat weights by their nature tend to only recommend one of those solutions (they are a 1st order linear regression, and thus don’t have the ability to describe as complicated a solution space).
I’m still looking at it – but got sidetracked trying to figure out what’s causing this server issue all of a sudden.
