Math around the worth of Spirit is almost not worth doing right now with Ghostcrawler putting out some pretty intent messages of making Innervate do a flat amount of mana regardless of Int or Spi (source). This will devastate the worth of Spirit to about a 30-40% nerf (uliko estimated) if/when it happens.

They would need to find some reasons for resto to want to stack Spirit at the expense of MP5 if they do that.

For a Ilvl 219, it gives too low Spell Power, probably bugged like [Headpiece of Reconciliation] was bugged. Hope that it will be fixed in the next minor patch.

I have question regarding the t7.5 set bonus. Is there a SP number I can shoot for as to when to drop the set bonus? I tend to use a Nourish heavy healing style, as I am usually a floater as far as healing goes, so losing that set bonus for a minor upgrade in ulduar seems rough. As it is I've passed on a number of relatively small upgrades due to the powerful effect of set bonus and nourish glyph.

I tend to do really well (usually first or second on healing meters) so I don't think I am doing too much wrong as far as healing goes, but just curious if there is any numbers on this.

Thanks

Hate to bust up all these numbers, but I've started a spreadsheet of all the gear with one of my guildmates. We're still working on it but hopefully it will be done in a few days.

If you want to give a hand on whats there, or start a feral tab, send me a PM.

This is so that gear can easily accessible in Excel format for people to crunch even more numbers if they want, and it's also a handy sheet to alt-tab to if you want to check your options while you raid.

Enkoopa, you will need to make the spreadsheet public for anyone to view it. I went to take a peek at what you had, and was advised I didn't have access to veiw the sheet.

Sorry, I've published the page and updated the URL above (Druid Gear)

Hey I was hoping I could bug you guys for some quick help. I'm putting together a Ulduar wish list and am debating which pieces of tier I want.

From what I gather the 4 piece now instantly heals for its periodic healing (the full 12 second duration???) amount plus still does its hot. I can't pass that set bonus off if it does and its disappointing because aside from the helm I prefer non tier pieces.

From what I've seen (I've been quickly skimming over stats at work) my 4 piece would consist of Helm, Chest, Legs and Shoulders while using the Handwraps of the vigilant as my gloves. They seem to provide the biggest bonus stats/sockets etc... I'm disappointed that I'm not seeing as much haste gear now and am concerned about the amount of crit I will be pulling over haste due to the tier gear alone. Do you guys agree with that 4 piece set? Or am I really far off and need some quick guidance here.

Any help would be great!

The currently best known (Algalon loot is still missing but..) offset piece to take is this chest because quite honestly it is perfectly itemized in almost every way for us. It also has the benefit of taking away one of the critical strike pieces in favor of haste whereas using the gloves would be a critical strike for critical strike trade.

I would concur with this. Using this loot rank link, Loot Rank for WotLK, It appears that the T8.5 gloves have the biggest gap in score from the best in slot gloves, compared to the rest of the tier gear.

Of course this all based upon proper weights, and i'm not sure if they are up to date or not.

I also am a bit concerned about the ample amounts of crit on our tier gear, but its not like losing some haste is going to break the class. With GotEM talents, haste isn't even that great of a stat, its just slightly better than crit.

Yeah, you forgot the cloth.
