Stat Priority for Survival Hunter in The War Within Season 1

The further we will get into the current expansion, the effects of diminishing returns start to limit the effectiveness of your secondary stats. After reaching 30% through secondary stats (eg. ~19800 Haste) on your gear, you will start receiving a penalty for each further point on your gear. This penalty reduces the gain from more of the same stat over this threshold.

Stat Priority can differ on every player due to the different gear being used. Make sure to check your own character on Raidbots to get the perfect results for you! A general overview for secondary stats is as follows.
