Stat Priorities

Colossus

Single Target: Haste > Crit > Mastery = Vers

AoE: Haste > Crit > Vers = Mastery

Slayer

Single Target: Haste > Crit > Mastery = Vers

AoE: Haste > Crit > Mastery = Vers

Stat Outline

Haste: Lowers swing timer, reduces global cooldown and reduces the cooldown of certain abilities (Mortal Strike, Cleave etc).

Crit: A chance to deal double damage with an ability. This is bigger for Colossus over Slayer because Colossus has additional Crit damage as part of the hero talent tree.

Mastery: Mortal Strike, Cleave and Bladestorm apply Deep Wounds to enemies struck. Deep Wounds causes you to deal additional damage to enemies it is applied to which scales with Mastery.

Versatility: Offers a damage dealt increase and damage taken increase. Similar to Mastery but scales worse per point of the stat.

Races

Horde: Tauren

Alliance: Dwarf

Ultimately, all races are regularly very close from a DPS perspective that you won’t notice a damage change with choosing a different race. Feel free to choose whichever race you like the look of the best (Zanadalari Troll is the only choice here).

Enchants

Cloak: Chant of Winged Grace

Chest: Crystalline Radiance

Bracers: Chant of Armored Avoidance

Boots: Defender’s March

Legs: Defender’s Armor Kit

Rings: Cursed Critical Strike

Weapon: Authority of Radiant Power

Gems

There are new primary stat gems that have additional bonuses for each individual gem colour you have equipped in your gear. With the new socket changes, you can only have 6 sockets in your gear at once (2 neck and 2 in each ring). Due to this, you will have the primary stat gem and one of each colour in the remaining sockets which will look like this:

Consumables

Food: Feast of the Divine Day / Feast of the Midnight Masquerade

Flask: Flask of Alchemical Chaos

Potions: Tempered Potion

Health Potions: Algari Healing Potion

Weapon Oil: Ironclaw Whetstone (Swords/Axes/Polearms) or Ironclaw Weightstone (Maces/Staves)
