Strength determines the physical power of your character. A high strength improves your attack power. Strength is also a determining factor in how much damage you block if you use a shield. Rogues and hunters only use a partial value of strength to determine their power. - World of Warcraft Game Manual, 2004

Bloodthirst

For a Level 60 Warrior:

1 Strength = 2 Attack Power

Agility

Agility improves your armor rating, your chance to dodge an attack, and your chance to score a critical hit with a melee or ranged attack, thus dealing increased damage. Rogues and Hunters also use agility, in combination with strength, to determine their attack power. - World of Warcraft Game Manual, 2004

Agility increases the chance of a critical hit with melee and ranged attacks. The amount of the increase is dependent on both class and level. For most level 60 character classes, approximately 20 points of Agility will increase your critical hit chance by approximately 1%. Rogues require 29 Agility for an additional 1% critical hit chance, and Hunters require 53 Agility for an additional 1% critical hit chance, but both of these classes also gain attack power from agility, and the items available to them typically have much higher amounts of Agility.

Agility increases the chance to dodge an attack. The amount increased is dependant on both class and level. For most level 60 character classes, approximately 20 points of AGI will increase your chance to dodge by approximately 1%. Rogues only require 14.5 AGI for an additional 1% dodge chance. Hunters require 26.5 AGI for an additional 1% dodge chance, but Hunters typically have a high amount of agility, as well as an Aspect spell that further increases their chance to dodge attacks.

For a Level 60 Warrior:

20 Agility = 1% Crit Chance, 1% Dodge

Stamina

Stamina affects your hit points, no matter what class you play. However, characters designed to absorb damage, such as warriors and paladins, gain more benefit from stamina than classes who have other capabilities, such as rogues and druids, who in turn gain more benefit than pure spellcasters, such as mages. - World of Warcraft Game Manual, 2004

For a Level 60 Warrior:

1 Stamina = 10 Health

Intellect

Intelligence improves your mana reserves. Intelligence has no bearing on non-spellcasting classes. - World of Warcraft Game Manual, 2004

Arcane IntellectSpirit

Spirit determines the regeneration rate for your health and mana. A high spirit results in much faster regeneration, while a low spirit gives you reduced regeneration. - World of Warcraft Game Manual, 2004

Edgemaster's Handguards

Reduces your chance to miss from 8% to 6% as well as removing the 1% hit penalty. This means that +5 weapon skill (305 weapon skill) effectively gives you a 3% hit bonus against a level 63/boss mob.

Reduces the damage reduction penalty of glancing blows from 35% to 15%. Weapon skill cannot, however, reduce the chance for a glancing blow to occur, as glancing blows will always happen 40% of the time when fighting a boss level mob.

Decreases the chance for the mob to dodge your attacks from 6.5% to 6%.

Here are some example of sources of weapon skills:

Swords: Humans automatically have Sword Specialization as their racial, additionally players can increase their sword skill with Edgemaster's Handguards and Maladath, Runed Blade of the Black Flight.

Maces: Humans also get Mace Specialization as one of their racials, additionally players can increase their mace skill with Anubisath Warhammer from AQ 40.

Axes: Orcs are the horde version of human gaining Axe Specialization as one of their racials, players can further increase their axe skill with Edgemaster's Handguards.

Daggers: Players can increase their skill with daggers with Edgemaster's Handguards, as well as Death's Sting and Aged Core Leather Gloves.

I've looked at your DPS guides for Fury warrior and Rogue, and I think there's one thing you should correct about Weapon skill. While, yes, there is a benefit to hit and crit chance for having your Weapon skill above your enemy's (so above 300 for trash mobs and dungeon bosses), the impact on Raid boss DPS of those factors is not that big, with only 0.6% hit chance and 0.6% crit chance lost against the boss' 315 defense skill.

The far greater effect of Weapon skill on gear is reducing the impact of glancing blows. When your weapon skill is smaller than the enemy's defense skill (which will always be the case against raid bosses), you have a 40% chance (I think), to get a glancing blow with each melee white hit. That reduces the damage you deal with that attack to 70% of normal damage if your weapon skill is 15 below the enemy's defense skill. Each point of weapon skill reduces this, and by reaching 310 weapon skill, glancing blows now only deal about 5% reduced damage !

Seeing as these guides seem to be in-depth, I figured they should to be more precise on how and why certain stats are sought after.

"Maximum Critical Strike Chance is calculated based on Miss Chance, Dodge Chance, and the Rogue's Hit Rating."
Isn't it warrior's guide?

Commento di wingo667

Quoting from Hit tables, first Blizzard, then the OP:

There is some code in 1.12 that explicitly adds a modifier that causes the first 1% of +hit gained from talents or gear to be ignored against monsters with more than 10 Defense Skill above the attacking player’s Weapon Skill.

and

With an 8% miss chance for +3 mobs, and a 5% miss chance for even level mobs, does that mean that one of the intended effects of weapon skill is to reduce miss chance by 1% for every 5 points? That scaling seems to agree with our tests but larger sample sizes are needed to zero in.

How do you arrive at:

Reduces your chance to miss from 8% to 6% as well as removing the 1% hit penalty. This means that +5 weapon skill (305 weapon skill) effectively gives you a 3% hit bonus against a level 63/boss mob.

To me, that sounds rather like removing the "1% hit penalty", and another 1% miss change for 5 skill points, for 2% hit equivalent altogether.

One way or the other, the first 5 weapon skill points are the most efficient, increasing white damage by up to 10%. The next 5 skill points (from 305 to 310) still increase white damage by up to 5% - definitely worth getting, over pretty much everything else.

... but of course that's assuming the resurrected vanilla theorycrafting is "mostly right" ;)

Update: according to research started during Classic's beta, TheKrugLife's statement is correct (i.e. 305 weapon skill effectively lowers your hit cap from 9% to 6%), cp. the "Hit cap" table here.

Commento di Roiba

Thanks for the guide. But can u show me ur formular for the crit cap? i found another source and im getting other results.

thanks in advance

Commento di Keltiosh

Thanks for this detailed guide, too bad we have to equip mail/leather armors
I've made the choice to only equip plate equipment, even if it's harder to reach the caps !

Commento di shipwreck

It doesn't look like this is being maintained anymore, but a small change I would make would be to change the numbers in the Crit Chance section. The first sentence should read, "increasing the Damage dealt by 100% (Spells are only increased by 50%)."

Commento di rogermw

Are there relative weights for the stats, when choosing between 2 different pieces of gear?

I.e. if you're below the crit cap, how much attack power will (on average) boost your DPS by the same amount as +1% crit?
