It seems like loading up on gear heavy in haste would allow your big heal speeds to be comparable to that of your classic holy healer. I’m just wondering if the trade off of Spirit/MP5 for haste/crit would be crippling in the long run. In my gear makeup I’m trying to focus, in order of importance: Haste, Spellpower, Spirit/MP5, and then Crit. Any thoughts?

Keep the posts coming, I’m especially interested in making the switch to disc in the near future, however the majority of the materials available online are geared towards holy PvE.

Spell Haste: Elitist Jerks recommends aiming for 10% for disc, how do you all feel about that? The problem I’m having with that is that they state that 20% total (10% from disc talents) is enough to reduce a Greater Heal to 2.08 sec untalented. I’m not sure how they’re arriving at that number, unless they’re making calculations based off of the talented 2.5 sec “base” cast time.

Estimated haste levels interest me the most because of trinket availability currently in game. The egg that you mention for example, has the potential to run you up against the GCD wall depending on what additional raid buffs you have.

As I said, please keep updating on this topic, I’m very curious to see what other priests are doing with disc.

It would be interesting to see what the stats add up to. A followup post reviewing this gear in whatever raid/instance you run would also be interesting, to get an idea of what numbers to aim for.

What kind of weapon are you using?

@Misa Sorry, I didn't know the answer offhand and hadn't researched it yet. The reason is because a lot of the itemization on the robe you mentioned, Ebonweave, is taken up by hit rating, which is useless to a healing disc priest. The Ebonweave DOES have a lot more int, but the haste on the Spellweave is enough to bump it up. Except that my list was very high on haste, and I actually have MORE haste than I need, so I've been swapping. I'm currently wearing Ornate Woolen Stola to try and boost my crit (at a small drop in spellpower).

Thanks for the list! I’m only 76, but its going to come in handy when I finally cap. I’m bookmarking it and thats not something I do to individual blog entries very often.

They say that Rapture is fixed in the PTR. I am the happiest little soap bubble blowing priest in the world!

@Paolo
actually, after looking again and reading your comment, I agree. I’ll be trading off some of my haste for crit. Thank you very much, especially for the gear recommendations

@Bob
You’d be surprised how many “weird spec” best gear are blue, not purple. Beginner lists are always useful. =]
