I just need some help deciding what to take from the vault this week. I’m torn between 408 helm (+ 104 intellect +368 stamina + 269 vers - 176 haste (we don’t need haste right?)) and a 395 ilvl Miniature singing stone trinket (+372 intellect -466 crit.)
I kind of feel like the intellect on the trinket makes it worth it since intellect is king according to wowhead. I also have the BiS trinket Mote of santification Ilvl 395 in my bags…not using it because. I don’t like on-use trinkets and honestly I’m not sure if I need another 474 mastery.
The other issue is that the trinket provides a shield that I’m not sure will benefit from our mastery. The mastery only says healing, but the talent resonating sphere says “Temporal Anomaly applies Echo at 30% effectiveness to allies it heals.” which makes me believe shields can benefit from our mastery.
Yeah I wouldn’t just go for Ilvl, but in this case I actually went with the helm.
I’m just not sure I’d benefit much from the shielding on the trinket and the +368 stamina from the helm is nothing to sneeze at as I’m trying to push higher keys. Gaining +372 intellect from the trinket just seemed like it might have been worth it in terms of bigger heals overall.
I mean, are a resto druid too? Dont quite understand your reasoning behind using this parsing resto druid? There are many factors involved in Parsing that you can use to your advantage to get Higher parses.
I did say “Generally”, and without actually simming it, or at the very least getting his stat weights etc… Typically, ilvl comes with increased stats primary and secondary. Even the guides out there say that, its a safe bet.
QuestionablyEpic Live is the equivalent of Raidbots for healers.
Item level is king. Take the hat and don’t look back. It doesn’t matter if the 395 trinket is BiS, because you’re going to replace it with anything decent at a higher item level anyway.
Don’t overthink things too much. Stats are good. Worry about the rest when you have multiple options for the same slot within a similar item level range, until then, take the thing that makes your number bigger.
alas, this is where you might be slightlyyyy off… Main stat is 1 int = 2 sp generally, might be 2.2 which at higher levels can scale insanely but its a general rule of thumb that 1str is 2ap, 1int is 2sp since it was changed.
Mastery how ever for Evoker healer allows you to heal 58% more (my current) aslong as my health is max, aslong as im in the correct position my healing is increased. in what world do you think 20ilvls of int , probably 500 is = to 58% healing increase? lol…
EVEN if it was 1int = 5 sp, 100k heal with 58% increase is 158k… vs what, 500 x 5 = 2500sp? PASS. Remeber, im beating him and he is getting 99 Parses lol 99 is roughly around 87k on Terros on Heroic. (id have to go look which im not going to do because i dont honestly care about what sort of justification you want from this)
i completely understand higher ilvl means you will have more stats on gear… Name the gear in Raid that gives both crit/mastery? Ill wait. Higher ilvl on Haste/vers gear will actually give you extremely poor performance, Crit Haste, ok, better, Haste Mastery, Better even more, Crit haste, dominant.
M+ gear > Raid Gear except for staff trinkets and tier
