MM Stat Changes for Pre-patch/Legion

[Durnin]

Heya Hunter-folk,

Started Reviewing MM hunter gear for pre-patch w/ incoming Stat Changes (i.e. no more Multistrike). Based on items in the Legion database (on Wowhead) it seems that the majority of the stat changes for current MM hunter BiS pieces will be converting Multistrike into Haste (waist, legs, feet, wrists, back, Ring 1 and neck). Two Tier 18 pcs. (Helm and Shoulders) will be gaining Critical Strike from the changes.

Unfortunately, I haven't gotten Alpha/Beta access to do any testing so I'm looking to find out if anyone has seen any stat weights, etc based on the Beta. I'm assuming that Stat Priority will be Agi>Crit>Mastery but am looking for verification or further input.

Thanks,

Drew

Hey Tueur,

Mainly just trying to determine what gear I should be looking to acquire for raiding during pre-patch but am unable to test any stat priorities, etc. Haste is utter crap for MM since Chim/Aimed are instant cast for T18 and we don't have any real DoT abilities. I'm assuming Crit will remain strong until after expac/artifact weapon acquisition but have no feel whatsoever for where Mastery and Versatility will stack up. just looking for a rough idea for now so I can pick up any replaced gear I might need over the next couple weeks during farm nights (i.e, Equipping Chain Wristguards of the Stricken in place of Bracers of Fel Empowerment which in pre-patch will have 199 Haste instead of Multistrike)

This, of course, may all be moot with Blizz still playing with numbers, abilites , et al. but wanted to at least get a conversation started.
