Glyph of (the?) long word

[Stubb]

I got a trinket in grim batol yesterday called Gale of Shadows, here are the stats:

Gale of Shadows

Binds when picked up
Unique-Equipped
Trinket
Requires Level 83
Item Level 333
Equip: Increases your haste rating by 252.
Equip: Your healing and damage periodic spells grant 15 spell power each time they heal or deal damage.
Lasts 15 sec, stacking up to 20 times.

Do you think this trinket + glyph of long word would be good? Assuming the ticks from WoG would proc this.

Thanks,

Stubb

No.

The reason(s) why i say this is because.

Any trinket without intellect on is terrible, honestly you should try and get an intellect upgrade for it.

Also the glyph isn't that great, using unglyphed WoG at 3 holy power is much better.

Awww... ok : (. I have a int. and spirit trink right now. one has chance to inc. spirit and the other has chance to increase haste.

Just tried out what you asked (i did wonder) and No the HoT on WoG if glyphed doesn't proc it anyway =)

[Stubb]

That's lame : |. Not trying to make a fuss, but shouldn't it?

Your healing and damage periodic spells grant 15 spell power each time they heal

But maybe that second 50% of WoG that is a HoT isn't considered a spell...

[Deleted]

It is considered the same spell, as its a part of your WoG, so it procs the once

Out of interest, were you testing the HoT portion on someone at full health? I have the same trinket on my Priest, and it will only proc from HoT ticks from Renew if they actually heal damage, if they overheal completely it does not grant a stack.

Interesting, some things like the above make me wonder about paladin mechanics. I mean is the % based and thus treated like HP % based hots = phyiscal. Sorry if im plucking at straws, but if correct this basically means a purge free hot.. nice.

Nope, whenever i test a heal or a proc i always make sure that person has taken damage (usually by mounting, and then unmounting to take falling damage)

ihave had luck using the trinket and being able to stack the proc to 20 without it dropping the trinket works very well for healing non tanks quickly and leaving a hot on them while u focus the tank or someone else

I really don't get this Trinket at all. It has DPS written all over it so I have no idea why they added the extra "healing spell" part to it. Your missing out on too much in return for more haste and spellpower (the value of which is depreciated even more when you take into account that INT trinkets provide spellpower anyway.)

Though having said that, if your having no mana issues at all and just want more through put, why not. :P

While I agree that this rather sucks for paladins, it is a really cool trinket for priests and druids. When they keep rolling lifebloom/renew on the tank through other spells this trinket basically gives passive 252 haste and 300 spellpower which is a lot.

Because you'd get more through put out of an intellect trinket? =P

Buh? o.o I didn't say you would get more throughput out of an intellect trinket.

No i just did.

You said it should be used to get more throughput out of your healing, however i was saying there would be no point as an intellect trinket would produce more throughput than the one being linked by OP.

[Stubb]

I just thought it would be cool if the ticks from the glyphed WoG proc'd this. If you could keep up a rotation, I think you could have full stacks throughout a fight. But yeah I would think it's more of a druid trinket.

Thanks,

Long Word only ticks 3 times after the initial 50% heal. So this trinket would only proc 45 spellpower (or 60 if it counts the initial).
Seems quite underwhelming for a paladin, but probably great for a druid.

300 Spellpower and 252 haste is a lot of through put!
