Stat priority and gearing

Cat: Hit to 9%, Agility, Strength, Crit, attack power. Bear: Stamina, Agility (dodge and armor), Strength, Hit.
Weapon stats matter, weapon damage does not: feral attack power comes from the weapon's stats only.
Hit caps (9% melee, 16% spells, 440 Defense) are the Classic 1.12 values Forever inherits; the news desk notes any change. Pre-raid best-in-slot lists will be added once the Forever item database is public and verified; we will not guess at item stats.
