Order and bars: each stat’s share of the secondary stat rating on gear, averaged over the sample — what these players actually itemised for. In-game percentages are shown for reference only. They are not comparable between stats: each has its own rating-to-percent rate, and mastery is scaled by a coefficient that differs per specialisation.
