Best Legendary Combo's

[Zerxes]

I just recently got my 6th legendary for resto the LB Belt.

Of my 6 I consider the following the best:
-Tearstone
-Dark Titan/Belt
-Effusion of Nature(boots)
-Prydaz

also have sephuz and the chest.

I typically have been using prydaz/tearstone for most cases in a raid situation. There are perhaps sometimes I could use the tranq boots but those 2 are pretty much my default. Until such a time that I get the trinket and/or the shoulders, what are the best 2 to use in the majority of cases or even on a fight-to-fight basis?

Combo'ing the belt with tearstone I only lose 3% mastery from the loss of prydaz. Mastery not being a huge priority in raids its not a huge deal but it seems that the LB belt will not always be too reliable. In the sense of overhealing/primarily used on tank.

Any info helps! Thanks

Tearstone and Prydaz. With these two, you can guarantee you will get their bonus almost all the time (Almost because I'm counting in Tearstone's RNG). What do I mean? Simple:

+ Prydaz allows you to either use the shield increase your healing done on the meters by "fucking up" intentionally or gives you that extra cushion in case you mess up with some mechanics. A tip I heard but have not tried since I don't have prydaz: you can also use Bear Form for a bigger shield.

+ Tearstone saves you some GCDs (When it procs) in case Wild Growth landed on people do not have Rejuv or their Rejuv is about to expire, or even if you are talented in Germ (Which I don't think you will normally in a raid).

- Belt is unreliable because by the time Lifebloom bloom, which can take from about 11 seconds to 15 seconds, the tank may be at full health. I have it, tried it, not that useful in a raid.

- Boots...Even with coordination, the effect you get is either never used (Players above the threshold when you use it or reaches that point after the first few ticks) or flat out underwhelming (Black Harvest on Heroic Gul'dan). I tried it myself and I really wanna switch it out.

Not sure why you want the shoulders, it will reserve a tier-slot while the effect is...mediocre at best. The trinket, on the other hand, is Godly.

Didn't shoulders and belt get buffed heavily? Who cares whether one of your legendaries is in a tier slot when you still have 5 other ones...

Boots might be good IF your raid is taking a shitton of damage and you use tranq at specific timings in coordination with the other healers (while they're using leytorrent for example), which won't really be the case in non-mythic difficulties, and even then rather rarely (there aren't too many situations where people are pushed under 60% between every tranq tick), tranq is just so strong even without the boots. But when it does, https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports...3&end=14517504 woah.

They buffed belt and shoulders last patch, and many other things including boots.

Shoulders are the highest hps legendary on all but one fight according to warcraftlogs.

I still think trinket is better though, since it funnels heals to people that actually need them.

[ryklin]

-the shoulders dont directly increase throughput in situations where people are all low
but god damn do they increase mana efficiency and dreamwalker throughput
on some fights like tich, they don't do much, on like krosus or anomaly, they're insane
-the belt is theoretically high hps, but as mentioned above, it's inconsistent, but I guess if you were having troubles with tank damage, it'd be worthwhile
-prydaz and the ring were and are still good in a variety of situations, especially on the fights where germ isn't that bad of a choice like tich or botanist (for the ring)
the boots are too binary to be great, but at the same time, sometimes that increased tick saves a life during your cd, but if you had a shaman in your raid, but unless your raid comp is really wonky, 1 of the single target healers (pally/priest/sometimes shaman) will probably pop that person up fast if they actually seemed to be at risk

Hey,

im working with Tearstone + Shoulders right now which gave me pretty good results. Tearstone is as we all know a little unreliable since you can have insanely good fights with ~8% hps increase to somewhat bad fights with as little as 2%. Shoulders on the other hand are very consistent with ~8% hps increase and gain extra value for me in combination with tearstone, 4p setbonus and germination. The synergy is great and the results speak for themselves:

All results are high percentile and with extra ressources (as you ask for the best legendary combo consider ressources like wisdom and innervates). I expect someone with trinket and shoulders should achieve a lot better results, sadly I don't have it. It should also be noted that the analyser tool might not be accurate but gives us a good estimate of the legendary situation.

For your specific situation you should consider magnum opus and tearstone as default and swap out either one (depending on the situation and your playerskill) for the legendary belt if you can make use of it (e.g. your tankhealers slack/fail a lot). The belt is good in fights like ticho where you have consistent very high damage to one or two targets. I have seen logs where the belt did as much as 10% of the healing which is REALLY REALLY good.

TLDR: Shoulders + Trinket is probably the best combo but Shoulders + Tearstone is the second best on most fights. For you I would advice going for Magnum Opus and Tearstone as a default and using the belt situationally.

Thanks for your analysis, RestoSpirit.
Looks like shoulders are much stronger than I thought - they might be a new BiS for some fights, especially those with predictable damage pattern or farm-content.

I tested belt on several fights and the results are mostly good.

It seem to shine on some encounters i.e.:
Star Augur Etraeus hero
https://druid-legendary-analyser.her...Frncf&fight=22
High Botanist Tel'arn hero
https://druid-legendary-analyser.her...Frncf&fight=28

but it's mediocre if tanks damage is low:
Grand Magistrix Elisande hero
https://druid-legendary-analyser.her...Frncf&fight=13

Given the choice OP has, I'd pick: Prydaz + ring/belt depending on a fight.

[Zerxes]

Thank all for the great responses, definitely helps me out and things to shoot for!

Ya Ive been wondering about the ranking since I have 8 resto/utility legendaries. Been favoring shoulders and trinket as they just feel the best based on the fuzzy math in my head(for raids), but were easily clearing herioc now so its kind of academic, crz group so we cant move onto mythic unfortunately.
