    give int only? it makes gear look stupid anyway.
    This. If the OP is trying to say "yea crit just isn't as good as it used to be..." then I totally agree.
    But it isn't as if they have given us a better stat in place of crit.
    Not as good as it used to be? Sure. But our WORST STAT? HARDLY.

    MP5 is still the worst pally stat.

    Furthermore, I'm already at the haste soft cap in full t9. Pushing it beyond that is silly. Do you really think you'll get that much out of mp5?

    Re: Holy - Sick of Blizzard Nerfing Us Via Stats

    I was going to write out a whole wall of text thing here about Blizzard using our gear to nerf us, but instead I'm just going let the example do all the talking.

    http://db.mmo-champion.com/items/4/?...64&itemset=899

    The tier 10 Holy set. And EVERY piece with Crit. Of all the currently discovered spell plate, only ONE doesn't have Crit.

    Hope everyone likes mail. Cause it's shaping up to be the only place we can get SP/Haste/MP5.

    Loot is supposed to be our reward. Not our punishment. Nerfing a class through its gear is ridiculous.
    I hate to say it but if Blizzard wanted you to play with those stats then the tier gear would have them. It just so happens that paladins raiding at the top end highly value crit, nd it suits their playsyles perfectly so you must be doing - something- wrong somewhere.

    I thought about this as a possibility. But in the end, it doesn't make sense. Just as BC gear didn't last long in WOTLK, the likely hood of any of us using T10 very far into 85 is remote at best.

    Besides, the stat distribution Haste/MP5 does exist (and hopefully will exist on more). Completely removing it from our Tier doesn't have anything to do with Cata.

    Why are people STILL arguing over this?

    THEY ARE GOING TO CHANGE EVERYONE WHEN CATA COMES OUT. YOU WILL NOT BE GIMPED. THINGS WILL WORK OUT. STOP FEARING WHAT MIGHT BE.

    If we were already in Cataclysm, and the stats did nerf you, then I would totally understand this post.
    But you guys are acting like they're changing nothing else in this game other than the stats. Come on guys! If something that hasn't been done yet strikes so much fear into you that you have to post a rage thread, go outside and breathe.

    Okay, it's about the new tier set. My bad.

    ...you still need to relax though.

    It doesn't work that way :>
    Base stats on items are always similar and moving point from Extra stats to base stats would usually greatly impact the total item value, because the Extra stats are usually cheaper than the base stats.

    Is haste still better than crit after you pass the soft haste cap?
    If not the itemization would be :
    Haste/Mp5 (until cap) > MP5/Crit > Haste/Crit

    Re: Holy - Sick of Blizzard Nerfing Us Via Stats

    How often does your 30k mana run out?

    T10 stats currently add 553 intellect. What's that in mana for you guys, 15 each? More because of talents? So at least 8000 mana from FIVE pieces of gear?

    And how could you not like critical heals?

    I made the grind from 70 to 80 wearing mostly lvl 70 pvp gear. It was far better than any of the higher ilvl quest greens and blues. My assumption would be that the next xpac will be similar.

    BC gear did last very long... if you had T6. I didn't have to change gear until Naxx 10 (except maybe.. trinkets and rings, but that's because I never got the good stuff there).

    And I'm sorry if I misread that it's your new Tier set. But come on, I see pallies with full mana bars during the entire raid. You guys aren't going to be crushed. Things will be okay.

    Just like I said already. Good job reading and all though, "brosef".

    The current examples in the loot table is just more examples of what the entirety of the tier set already proves.

    Even if every single piece of remaining undiscovered gear turns out to be well optimized, am I supposed to e happy that Blizzard purposely turned Crit into our worst stat and now is loading it onto our tier?
    Of all cloth gear at current levels, I'd say about 60% of it has haste. Haste is a priest's worst optimal stat, moreso for discipline because our soft cap is very low (11%).

    I don't go on the forums and go "QQQQQ haste on cloth makes me wanna nerdrage". I find a way around it.

    Do you need to be in FULL ICC25 gear to feel some form of accomplishment has been obtained? You can't just get some pieces out of 10-man to fill slots for better optimization? Also, you do know you only need 4 pieces of tier to get a set bonus, you can't just pick the four that best fit your personal setup and fill in the last spot with a better non-tier piece?

    I mean, I do all those things. It seems, you know, logical.

    Would you rather have old-school tier stats? I hear spirit was a pro stat for holy pallies back in vanilla, true story!

    From your OP you said "of all the gear so far shown", meaning that you realize that the entire loot table isn't even close to finalized. Yet, here you are, crying over the loot already.

    Let them finish the damn loot table first, at least. It's not that hard, is it?

    Fenixdown (retail) : level 60 priest. 2005-2015, 2022-???? (returned!)
    Fenixdown (classic) : level 70 priest. 2019 - present

    Orly? I'd prefer Haste over crit on gear any time as a Holy Priest.

    One thing: It is only 3.3, not 4.0.

    Not if you proportioned it right, no.

    I doubt , that it would be possible to allocate the stats in a way, that would make that possible. (Haste will be overcapped if you have it on each item)

    Re: Holy - Sick of Blizzard Nerfing Us Via Stats

    can anyone please explain to me how the MP5 is worth anything? sorry, but when i do anub HM 10man on my pala i can relax and whack him at least once every 20 seconds with my weapon. thats around 2.4k mana (32k mana raidbuffed). to get this much mana in 20 seconds i would need 800 MP5, which is insane, when i think that i could just stack more int/haste/crit. so i actually believe that MP5 is actually quite bad for my paladin... but that just may be me...

    I was going to write a wall of text but instead I'll sum it up:

    It has crit on it because Blizzard wants it to. If you feel like for some reason you are better than Blizzard and your opinion is worth more than theirs, feel free to try and change it yourself. Crit is fine, you'll have what 35k mana in full 264 gear? Oh last thing, Blizzard doesn't care that you don't like it.

    I'd like to see you heal a level 80 heroic version of Shade of Aran, then.
