    Which trinkets? Resto Druid

    Ok so i am about to hit exalted with hellscreams reach... I am wondering if the trinket from there is worth it? I have made a comparison on wowhead that seems to say the weighting of the trinket is lower than my Dream owl from jewelcrafting...

    http://www.wowhead.com/compare?items...00:57:51:32:11

    I am using it with Tyrandee's favorite doll... I am wondering which pairing of trinkets would be strongest overall for mana regen and overall healing power? Thanks in advance for any help.

    edit: I have recently found that as of 4.06 the proc on the mandala will be int not mastery... how will this effect its usefulness?

    Well I'm not good at theorycrafting, but in general i'd prefer int over spirit, so my goal is to get two int-trinkets. Could be Tyrandes Doll and the one from points.
    In some very mana-heavy fights you could switch one trinket to mandala, but from what i've heard there are better trinkets for manaregen that also provide spellpower

    e.g.:

    Core of Ripeness = http://www.wowhead.com/item=58184 (currently on my Druid)
    +
    Fall of Mortality = http://www.wowhead.com/item=59500 (aiming for^^)

    For pure manaregen the mandala is quite good
    and if the procc is going to change it becomes even better, because int>spirit>mastery

    at the moment i am using 2 int trinkets, being tyrandes doll and my jc owl. I dont seem to have mana issues at the moment, so gonna leave the mandala for now.. Will pick up the trinket from VPs and use that instead of my owl. Thanks for the help =)

    Using Core of Ripeness and Darkmoon Card: Tsunami, can't see myself replacing either of them before sinestra trinket. Core is amazing with mana tide and DC:T is the best mp5 trinket with intellect (our best regen stat).

    If you think off a basic math DM:T is ~300 mp5 from spirit over 1 minute it's ~3600 mana which is less then tyrande. I don't have the badge trinket because with generic math it doesn't seem to even compare to the doll for straight regen.

    You want int trinkets with spi procs, in general. Use on-use procs with totem and you get ridiculous regen. So yes, dream owl will be better than the rep one.

    Fall of mortality and tyrandes doll is what I have, tsunami is also a very good trinket if you can spare the gold.

    Mandala is pretty bad. Don't get it if you have other options.

    Sinestra trinket is best, but as of yet unobtainable.

    Otherwise, best trinkets are 2 of these 3: DM:T / Doll / Core. The best 2 are going to vary depending on your group comp and fight length (particularly how many Mana Tide totems you get)

    Edit: forgot about Fall of Mortality. It's a great trinket too. So go for those 4 and you'll be fine for t11 raiding.

    With the announced changes to Mana Tide, the rdruid trinket pecking order is now a lot clearer, as stacking spirit for mana tide will no longer be in play.

    Shard of Woe > Doll (350 mp5 assuming use on cooldown) > Fall of Mortality (481 spi assuming 25% uptime) > DM:T (400 spi assuming 100% uptime) > Core (321 spi assuming use on cooldown)

    At ~5000 int, 1 spi is ~0.6 mp5

    Resto Trinket Help

    My 85 resto has 3 trinkets right now,

    http://www.wowhead.com/item=55995/blood-of-isiset
    http://www.wowhead.com/item=56463/corrupted-egg-shell
    http://www.wowhead.com/item=65804

    I'm thinking definitely talisman, but not sure which to pick from the others. Any help? I'm not having too big of a problem with mana, but some mana difficulty on a few fights.

    I would always tend to go for trinkets with intellect personally as its our most important stat. Blood of isiset is so-so. Mastery is getting/has gotten buffed so its not as bad as it was, especially for 5 mans but its still not as good as a pure intel trinket with a spirit proc. I would use that with the talisman then replace it with tear of blood from The Stonecore when you can, until then I wouldn't bother with the corrupted egg shell unless you are really struggling with mana on a particular encounter.

    Intellect trinkets is the best thing any resto druid could get their hands on right now, due to revitalize(talent and everything it brings mana wise) Going for socketbonuses is a waste aswell. Just getting 2x 20int 20 haste gems then smack the rest up with 40/67int if you got JC. One with spirit use for when it could go rough, and one with a spirit procc would be your best choice. And now that they're releasing an intellect trinket from alchemy, with more int and also passive haste ima jizz in my pantz ^^

    not much to really say, but int should be the stat you are going for.
