Too bad this guide doesn't explain what mastery actually does...

Unholy DK mastery needs to be updated on this page. Blizzard nerfed unholy mastery by 20% on December 15th. The baseline was changed from 18% to 14.4% (you can check this ingame). So with 8 baseline mastery points, the mastery point to % conversion is actually 14.4/8 or 1.8 percent per mastery point.

Also if anyone wants to know what %mastery they can reach before they hit diminishing returns, you multiply the percent value given in the above column "1 Mastery Point Gives" by 38 (8 baseline + 30 additional points).

For mistweaver monk it's wrong. I have 264 mastery rating, 65%

264 / 31.68 = 8.36 rating for each %

Then when I use weapons of order, it gives 42% mastery and Pelagos soulbind gives 350 mastery, I get 621 mastery 150%

612 / 74.52 = 8.333333333 rating for each %

According to the guide, for each 35 mastery rating we get 1 mastery point which equals to 1% spell power, but with 65% mastery, my gusts of wind are increased by 901 healing. My intellect is 1268. 65% of 1268 is 824. Then I have 8.70% increased healing from versatility. 824.2 * 1.087 = 896, very close to the 910 the mastery tooltip shows. Idk where the other 14 comes from.

But in any case, according to the guide every 35 mastery rating = +1% spell power (intellect) scaling for gust of winds. But according to my calculations, every 8.333333 mastery rating equals to 1% extra spell power (intellect) added to gust of winds healing.

Can this be updated please? It's the only page I've found that converts mastery points to their percentages.

If there is a different place that does it please let me know.

For Dragonflight, the level 70 values are:

1% Crit = 180 rating
1% Haste = 170 rating
1%/0.5% Versatility = 205 rating
1 Mastery Point = 180 rating

I don't know if Mastery Point to percentage conversions given here are all still correct or not; some specs have probably changed due to redesign or tuning. (At time of writing, https://wowpedia.fandom.com/wiki/Mastery is also out of date, so I can't use it for comparison.)

This has not been updated to include the Evoker class. This needs to be updated.

Comment by drakeos99

Updates for 11.0.5 please ?

Comment by Trench37

Looking for Midnight level 90 values after squish. Too many class guides have gotten obtuse saying to run our own sims and not giving a coherence path. I would like to do the math myself, but I need to know the aprox rating per % for haste, crit, and vers.
