Stat Priority

Stats are crucial attributes that directly influence a character's power in World of Warcraft. They not only determine the character's strength but also define the overall feel and playstyle. Stat bonuses can be found on various pieces of equipment, in consumables created by the Alchemy profession, certain foods, some enchantments , and gems .

This means that optimizing a character's performance involves more than just maximizing each stat; it's about finding a balanced distribution. Here is how Jäckdk's Secondary and Minor stats are distributed.
