Spell/Healing power vs stats

Hi there, i’m only level 40,!but as i’m leveling up i’m gathering more and more +spell/healing power gears.
Is it worth it to sacrifice stats for healing power while leveling? I’m mostly leveling healing dungeons.
As of currently if i swap gear i can get +92 healing power but i’m loosing 37int, 22 stam and 25 spi.
What do you guys think about this?

I too am curious of this for my priest as I am hoping to mostly heal dungeons.

I suggest sticking with stats. You are losing 370 mana (a heal or 2), some regen, for how much +hp healed?

just my 2 cents

But if you donwrank efficiently the missing mana won’t really be missed.

As for the OP it’s probably on a piece by piece basis as for which one will weigh better overall but +healing is super strong and can make you super efficient. The best thing to do is to try both sets out, but in general I’d imagine the +Healing outweighs that stats you’re missing when you’re healing.

as long as you dont go glass-cannon ( glass-healer?) to the point that a random cleave / loose fireball one-shot you… keep the + healing.

( if PvP’ing a lot, obviously mix in some more stamina)

I always level my toons in classic with as much +stam and +int (if it’s a caster) as I can…but it’s entirely up to you.

I find I have much less downtime if I pad those stats, as opposed to prioritizing +spell/healing.

If you are on a PvP server–I think there is even more incentive to go +stam and +int just for safety reasons.

You’re going to have to crunch the numbers down, but with the ability to downrank spells you can gain extra mana efficiency

With enough +healing, you can downrank without suffering too much for it, with greatly enhanced mana efficiency to go along with it

That said you don’t want to sacrifice Stam and too much Int in the name of efficiency
