I got this trinket from a friend while running Soa after asking for it. It is a damage trinket with high mastery. You might wonder why you would want this trinket on a holy priest running M+. In my case it’s like this: You can run a lot of M+ and stack a lot of vers and haste gear for high keys–the vers being great for damage reduction and the haste to juice your boons. That the case though, you can end up with low mastery and/or crit if you do this and want to get both haste and vers to about 26% or so at 278 or 279. Apparently 26% haste is the way to go to maximize what you get out of boon. You might be thinking such high haste and vers are not necessary and that is true, but such a stat make up is not unusual in higher keys. Like if you look at the gear a lot of the top Holy Priests wear, you will see high vers and haste, and that they do have some Mastery. In my case my mastery was super low–like around 10% or something on my main and a couple alts I run–all of which I run a ton of M+ on. You can still do juicy healing with that, I believe, but when someone dies you might wonder if a moderate amount of mastery would be helpful. These high M+ holy priests though–they also typically run a raid damage trinket.
Now the crux of it: Some of us dont have access to raid trinkets, or only low/moderate ilevel ones–and we dont want to pay for raid runs for the Mythic raid trinket.
Hence, the question about this “damage”/ mastery trinket and whether or not it might be good for Holy Priests doing M+ who want to maximize both healing and dps. This is not to say you need to do this at all, but I was wondering if anyone has tried this trinket in M+ for these.
Any related thoughts would be wonderful and helpful. That is, any thoughts outside of stuff like: You dont need a damage trinket on a Holy Priest in M+ unless you are literally in the very top handful of Holy Priests and other disparaging comments. Thanks in advance and happy healing!
