Stat priority and gearing
Stamina is a mana stat for Warlocks through Life Tap; do not gear like a Mage.
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.
