Posts 1,288	People seem to be confusing stat weights with optimal gem strategy. They are not the same. Reforging discussions are irrelevant, since no matter what you will be reforging to a secondary stat and can just go with whatever gets you closest to hit/exp caps without going over. If you want to gem hit/exp and then reforge to all haste/mastery go ahead, but the outcome will be the same as if you had reforged to hit/exp and then gemmed for haste/mastery.

For example, imagine you have a red socket with a 60 strength socket bonus and are under the expertise cap. This first set of scenarios uses the DW frost stat weights I generated earlier in the thread.
