Kind of a informational post, thoughts, and suggestions
Seems reasonable to me that just stacking stamina is the best choice as of right now... full BFA who knows.
Stacking critical strike/haste/versatility/primary stats are only contributing to at most a 2-3% increase in the respective categories or a 2-3% in damage/healing, and that seems to just be completely overshadowed by the chance to have 500+ extra hp. Even stacking versatility with respective items and full enchants where possible is giving about 6 to 7% reduction... not that great.
If the old/new world enchants were not being scaled so badly it would be a different story, but +1-4 points of stats/attributes is just not worth giving up 30-50 HP per item you can get with stamina enchants.
*Maybe* stacking critical strike could be OK for full glass cannon mode, but even then seems weaker than stamina... since you are not getting any HUGE +18 points of critical strike from enchants (you only get like 1-4 points due to scaling).
So it almost seems like we are in a very similar state that we were in Legion (minus the FULL nerd mode of survival hunters)... everybody is kind of equal even if you try to go full twink, you will only be a couple of % better than everybody else who is just in Blues... love it!
****
I was even able to 1v1 most people with my Mist Weaver monk, which I think is very healthy for the bracket... the only real turd I can see so far is Shaman in any spec... really bad.
Thoughts?
