What are the current "most accepted" stat weights for BLM?

There aren't really any, but the easy answer is about ~21% higher than they were in 3.2. Adding ~21% to base INT devalues INT by ~17% or raises the value of secondaries by 21%, whichever way you want to look at it. Not much has changed overall since 3.0; SS >>> Crit >= DET

Long answer:

• DET starts around 0.22 goes down slowly as you add more
• Crit starts around 0.18 and goes up steadily, it's around 0.24 in the 700's
• SpS starts around 0.27 (plus intangibles) and goes up steadily to around 0.35 (plus intangibles) in the 1200's

The intangibles in spell speed are hard to put a number on. These include fitting in that extra FS/Thunder/TC proc without losing Enochian (at a point these are negated by Arrow), having a better opener, having an extra spell land with buffs like BL/TA, losing a smaller percentage of your casts to movement/jump.

At what people are going to call BiS sets (~1600 INT, ~1200 SS, ~700 Crit, ~600 DET) the weights are roughly:

• DET: 0.20
• Crit: 0.23
• SpS: 0.35 - 0.50 (Depending on how much you want to add for the intangibles)
