Hai there.
Alot of you might know shadowpriest.com ... and alot of you might be healers and not read it. Never the less, the shadowpriests got a nice gear list there, which provides nice information on what gear to get.
The list is based on so called weight scales, calculated with a simulator called simulationcraft. These weight scales can be used for all gear except trinkets.
For both healers (holy only) and shadowpriests the current weight scales is about this:
Holy Priest (Healing)
- MP5 = 100
- Intellect = 74
- Spellpower = 60
- Spirit = 54
- Haste = 35
- Crit = 15
Shadow Priest (Damage)
- Spellpower = 100
- Crit = 61
- Haste = 56
- Spirit = 21
- Intellect = 19
- Hit = 112 (when not hit-capped)
The numbers are relative to eachother, but shadow is not relative to holy or visa-versa. Remember the numbers are of theroy, and if you think a stat should be higher, you can change it yourself in the weight scales when used in pratic.
What we can use these numbers to, is to find gear we can use. And rank it properly. To do this, we'll ally ourself with our good friend wowhead, who recently (make it some months ago) introduced the option of comparing gear, and sorting it based on weight scales. Wowhead also assist you in finding the best gem combination.
Note for Jewelcrafters, check the "Include JC-only gems" option.
For current raiding, Naxxramas, Eye of Eternity, and Obsidian Sanctum we can then make a bunch of gear lists. While this been done before on shadowpriest.com and dwarfpriest.com, the idea of writing this is so you know how to add Ulduar gear yourself rather than relying on other players who might be busy raiding themselves.
And because it looks neat.
Holy Priest
Naxx, Malygos, Sartharion, Tier 7, Emblems
Healing Gear
Shadow Priest
Naxx, Malygos, Sartharion, Tier 7, Emblems
Not Hitcapped
Hitcapped
Note for Ulduar
When Ulduar comes out, you then simply add Ulduar to the list of drop locations in the wowhead filter, and press "Apply Filter", and it should show you if a drop there is better or worse than one from the previous dungeons.
Hope this will assist you in finding upgrades as much as it helps me.
