Healing Priest T10.

[dway72]

So... I'm having a hard time deciding on gear selection. Here is an armory link:

http://www.wowarmory.com/character-s...=Altarb%C3%B6y

I have all 245 T9, but I'm only using two right now and I feel the T9 2-set is just too hard to give up...

What is everyone's thoughts on the T10 2set... worth it? Go for double 2 set (T9+10)?

From a very personal holy standpoint, I never liked the T10 4pc. Healing is fine and challenging as it is without Blizzard trying to throw in these "gimmick procs" to "test our awareness". As for 2PC i'm not sure whether it's 3 ticks every 3 seconds, or 9 ticks every 1 sec. Most likely its the former, and either way I dont like it either. Personally I'm still intending to keep T9 2 PC, although crafted pants and EOF are quite tempting upgrades

I'm sticking to 4pc Tier 9, as I'm finding the T10 bonusses just horrible.

The 20% extra healing from PoM is just win.
Extra instant healing from renew or the 10% extra shield from Divine Aegis is more usefull then a chance on proc imo.

T10
2pc 33% chance to hot the target aswell on flash heal, nice bonus but not worth sacrificing the T9 4pc over imo
4pc 20% chance to reset CoH or Penance when casting flash heal after the initial CoH/Penance, just plain stupid bonus imo.

looking at the calendar and looking at the amounts of emblems and
then looking at the difference t10 to normal loot ... t10 will not be
my primary goal.

The bonus effects on priest setss are just not worth any energy put into
getting them in LK. And with the long time we'll need to get them this
is just more true.

I dont farm a t-set to use it to level to 85.

I'm fully awair of this, I still don't feel like replacing my T9 for an encounter or 2.
Overall usage ftw tbh.

You do know that the T9 4pc actually sucks pretty bad, right? 10% does not mean you're Aegis is up to 40% now, it means the 30% you had before are increased by 10% -- to 33%. For holy: 15% is increased to 16.5%, not 25%. The 4pc bonus was and is plain bad, lackluster at best.

IMHO 2pc T9 and 2pc T10 is the way to go, assuming that the 2 pc T10 stacks like Ignite or a paladins FoL hot.

[CobraN]

A paladin's FoL-hot doesn't stack either, would be great though: Just spamming the mt and keeping a 5k+ hot on him at all times

[Venara]

Oh, didn't it use to stack? I was under the impression it did. My bad then, sorry :>

[dway72]

So the Flash Heal hot doesn't stack? If this is the case... play as Disc, that 'bonus' hot will just be wasted on the tank I'm healing.... Not really good for Disc IMO.

Holy is another story... SoL procs with FoL hots procs is never a bad thing.

It might, and it might not. It hasn't been tested and Blizz hasn't given an example of how it works like they did when they changed UB to be a dot instead of an AoE.

As disc priest I think the 4pc T10 bonus is of very big interest. Indeed it just go back to the last penance nerf we had (ty pala ). It may reset penance CD quite often which is a huge increase in healing to us. But this is only true if every penance tick has 20% chance procing the bonus, if it doesn't then this is pure waste.

This last point I do not have any reliable info, so my current concern is T9 2p + T10 2p or T10 4p ? (today PoM is one of my highest healing cast)

A disc priest(especially if tank healing) should get 4pc t10 no matter what. Even if it is only 20% per cast, that comes to be 1 extra penance about every 50s which adds up over time.

The 2pc T9 is very good. I have PoM on CD pretty much 100%. I even went back and was using 2pc T7 and 2pc T9 for a little while. I'm going to be hard pressed to give it up. As of right now, if my Penance is on CD, I just use a Greater Heal to fill in the gap. Freeing up my Penance would be nice. But then I feel forced to always cast a Flash Heal after every Penance.

Without Borrowed Time, most of the time Greater Heal is an unwieldly beast. Flash Heal's stable, and despite the smaller Aegis it has more uptime, thus resulting in smoother damage all around. At certain haste intervals, sure you can start squeezing in a greater here and there between Penance for single target, but you shouldn't be dropping Flash for it entirely.

someone say t10?

other class board is ----->

[Ândrömèdâ]

4p T10 bonus is a must have if it works with any penance tick. If not I don't really see the advantage of it regarding 8s CD on penance. You have to proc the T10 bonus and THEN cast another FH for reseting the penance CD. If proc occurs on penance ticks, then I could as well consider removing the penance glyph.

Remember than penance was nerfed in 3.2 for being "OP" (especially in PvP I would say). It was a big big pain in the ass for PVE from my point of view. Having the opportunity to lower again CD on this spell is like a blessing to me for tank healing^^

Otherwise, if penance ticks do not trigger the bonus, then I will probably try to stick to 2p T9 + 2p T10 bonuses I guess. PoM is a huge spell in disc healing from my point of view.

[creese82]

I can confirm the T10 2 pc hot does stack. I just got my 2nd piece and tested it on myself before the servers went down. After like 5 or 6 refreshes it was ticking for about 2500. Now that was just spamming flash heal non stop so when you consider actually working a rotation it might not be likely to stack 5 times, still tho it's free heals plain and simple and I don't think anyone can argue with that.

I do want to mention tho that the buff icon didn't have a number on it indicating stacks but when it refreshed the hot tick increased like a stacking buff.

Does someone else can confirm this? If it comes to be the real thing then 2p T10 sounds amazing then, even for disc priest!

thank you for informing us creese ;D

[Danner]

Some numbercrunching on the T2-set for those wondering how the stacking works.

Also... "even" for discpriests? I don't see many holypriests sharding their T9-2set anytime soon over this.
It's not bad though, but a holypriest forced to primarily spam fheal is
- pushing very low HPS,
- isn't doing his job properly,
- is best replaced by anything else.
I'll keep on saying this until someone can prove me otherwise: Holy is not a MT healer.
