Does Jadefire Fistweaver Heals use “held in offhand” okay?

I am running heals with jadefire and really loving running the dps rotation as a healer. I got an int “held in offhand” item from the raid and was wondering if jadefore heals strictly needs melee int weapons or if they can also use the caster “held in offhand” style item too?

There is no difference between a staff and a 1hand weapon and offhand.
( assuming same I lvl )

If it has int you are good to go. Mistweaver damage scales off our int.

Yes there is. Weapon damage also matters.

If you’re Fistweaving, 2H always.

From peak:

“weapon damage is pitiable in relation to the throughput we gain from Intellect (remembering that our Attack power is equal to our Intellect * 1.04)”

All of our actual abilities scale off our int/spell power. I just tested and TP/RSK/etc and they all scale off int and had the same dmg amts regardless of staff or 1h/oh. The only difference is auto attack damage, which is slightly higher with the staff ( which makes sense because it’s 1 sec slower than the 1h/oh but we are talking 153 extra dps here, which is nothing when mobs have millions of health ). So it is a non factor really because of how small of a difference it might be.

Highest int/ilvl is always the best option because it will have the higher stats and because int is our main stat that affects everything.

Weapon damage doesn’t affect Jadefire Stomp in any way.

Furthermore if you sim/compare both a 2h and 1h/oh combo at the same Ilvl ( with the same stats ) on QE live they come out with the same values.

Thanks guys!

The main difference is the spread of stats. 2H locks you to two secondaries while 1H + offhand will tend to give you three secondaries at lower values. If you get them with the same secondaries, the combination should get close / parity with a 2H.
