I mean, which spec do you use for what content, and how do you choose what spec to set loot drops for.
I play WW 99% of the time but I want to start raiding/mythics and I know dps is a hard slot to fill. My guild always needs healers for raiding, and mythics being brew or healer is fine. I personally fear healing but ive done a lot of tanking in legion but I need to relearn it.
I just dont know how to maintain gear, or choose which spec to gear if that makes any sense
i just stack vers mast for all specs. BiS stats for WW, works for MW, think it works for BrM too.
The only time I’ll change my loot spec from Windwalker to Mistweaver or Brewmaster is when a boss will drop like
Otherwise I’ll always keep it on whichever gives me the best peices for Windwalker. Anytime I get loot I’ll double check to see if its useful to keep for either spec and then slowly build a set from there.
Initially my off specs are almost always pretty bad in terms of secondaries. It doesn’t bother me because I’m playing them for fun not to try and push content in either of the other two specs.
Right now is the best time for gearing them. I’m going into normal right now to get duplicate Azerite slots. Mythic 10 gives 400 gear that is usually always useful. If your less geared then even a 5 is giving mythic uldir equivalent gear.
In the end I’d just say hang on to all your gear and your off spec will gear itself in time.
I’m returning after a brief hiatus on my dosc priest last tier, am primarily a Windwalker main, but I have dabbled with all 3 in the past.
Depending on how frequently you are switching, you can either pick up azerite gear with more generic, multi-use traits or aim on getting different sets as needed.
My baseline is WW which focuses on stacking Crit/verse. For raid healing, that priority stays the same, so I can keep my rings on, swap out my trinkets, weapons, and azerite gear and call it a day. For Dungeon healing, I need a different stat priority and use different azerite traits so I may carry some other rings with haste/mastery or an entirely different set of gear. Similar story for Brewmaster.
So ultimately, see what you have that you can use across specs and capitalize those. Then, fill in the gaps as you progress into harder content.
