Verse is straight up damage. Haste is faster cast on missiles. Crit is more bursty/unpredictable damage.
Generally most people agree on verse > haste > crit. I'd say don't sweat the details too much and just use what you have. Having a few quickblade pieces instead of aurora/adaptable isn't going to break the build and its going to basically be the exact same.
I was not playing arcane but I would say that haste makes the least visible difference. Crit is way too good even if its 150%. Is the easiest to stack % from rating.
Also there is one thing - crit makes more value out of your mana on arcane mage, haste only wastes your mana pool faster with less value.
If you stack haste against healer, you pray to cast arcane blast faster than he casts heal spell, but imagine having 25% crit - good chance you cast "extra arcane blast". Try to count how many times you have to cast arcane blast, so you cast one more arcane blast in comparison with non-haste build casting.
I was always stacking quickblade in low level bracket for burst, coz healers are the worst enemy and win bgs imo.
I’d have to disagree with this one SLIGHTLY. Yes there isn’t a huge different on how the 3 stats effect your class when mixed. However stacking certain ones can really change how you end up going about a BG. I personally focus on vers and crit. crit mainly. I like the idea of closing the gap of the RNG on getting back to back to back AB crits, by stacking crit
