Ranked by stat weights, not simulated: the order is a weighted sum of an item's stats. An item name opens its page on this site, or a page off this site in a new tab for an item this site has no page for. Report a mistake

How this list is made

  • Ranked by stat weights, not simulated. An item's score is the sum of its stat amounts times the weight below, and a list is that score, best first. The guides it was read from agree on the core order.
    • Strength 100
    • Hit 88
    • Expertise 76
    • Critical Strike 64
    • Haste 52
    • Mastery 40
  • Where the weights came from. The order follows Icy Veins and Warcraft Tavern. Warcraft Tavern: stat priority and reforging page of the specialisation, read 2026-10-12. Icy Veins: PvE stat priority page of the specialisation (known only through search summaries: the site refused direct reads), read 2026-10-12.
    Weapon damage is last on both lists.
  • Not scored: caps (shown, not enforced); reforging; gems and socket bonuses; enchants; procs, set-bonus value and weapon speed. Trinkets: item level, then weighted sum: the effect of a trinket is not evaluated.
  • Not recorded, so not on this page: drop chances; vendors and prices; which content was live and when; trinket, weapon enchant and meta gem effects; reforging and item upgrade steps; Death Knight rune enchants. A source is a kind of place and never a chance.
  • Stats are ratings from the items alone. Percentages need the character's level and talents, so none are shown.
  • Something wrong or missing? Report a mistake, or read About the data and Sources.
