Strength = Agility = Stamina = Intellect = Spirit = 230
Attack Power = 115
Ranged Attack Power = 92
+%To Hit = 2200
+%Crit = 3200
Armor = 22
Defense = 345 post 1.7 (was 230 prior)
Damage Shield = 720
+%Dodge = 2500
+%Parry = 3600
+%Block =1300
+BlockValue = 150
x/5 hp regen = 650
x/5 mana regen = 550
+%SpellCrit = 2600
+%SpellHit = 2500
+AllSpells = 192
+Healing = 100
+Fire = +Frost = +Shadow = +Arcane = +Nature = 159
+Holy = 210
Fire Resist = Frost Resist = Nature Resist = Arcane Resist = Shadow Resist = 230

This table with relative values is the most interesting, and you can get a lot of info from it. For one, items with Spellcrit are relatively gimped, since according to the table +1% spellcrit costs as much as +16 dmg, which is of course not true at all in practise (+5-10 would be more like it). Thus, items with crit will have wasted some of their budget on this overrated ability.

That is with a linear extrapolation of your base spell damage and+%SpellCrit compared to straight +AllSpells or even +Fire/+Frost/+Shadow/+Arcane/+Nature.

It isn't always like that since spell criticals can do specials as well for, for example Mages or Priest and Shaman.
There's some utility there.

wait... does this mean that hybrid items that has some of all stats (and thus more total stats) has a higher value then an item that concentrates on a few?

meaning shaman items has higher values then untah items? (if they only got the base stats and no +hit ,+crit, +ap or +spell dmg)
i saw some complaints about such items on thottbott somewhere, the hybrid item had less stats in each but had higher total ammount and that upset someone.

i didnt notice any explanation about spreading the stats out would cause a lower value maybe i just missed that

(or maybe im just rambeling and nooone understands what goes on in my head =P)

i mean that for hybrids (that needs more kinds of stats) we will have to get higher value items for stuff that may even be crappier in comparisment to specialist classes because it has all the stats we need instead of concentrating in one or two.
