What stats are most important for Warlock?

Warlock stat priority depends heavily on the game (WoW Classic vs. Retail) and specialization (Affliction, Demonology, Destruction), but Intellect is almost always the primary stat for damage. Generally, for DPS, it's Intellect > Haste > Mastery/Crit/Versatility, with Haste helping DoT ticks and casts, Mastery boosting demon damage (Demo/Affliction), Crit adding procs, and Versatility providing flat damage/healing. Always simulate your character (e.g., on Raidbots) for the most accurate priority due to gear and talent variations.
