Disc and spirit - am i missing something?

[Deleted]

First off i'm disc and our progress is currently 6/7hc. We do all bosses with 2 healers, me disc and holy paladin.

By looking at varius posts and BiS list and what not, i keep seing ppl reforging non-spirit items to spirit and i keep wondering if i missed something obvious. I'm running with around 2k spirit and the Dmc trink since the healing trinks just wont drop for us:/. Tbh this far i havent had mana issues at all and everytime i get a new upgrade with spirit i reforge down to 2k again.

So my question is why r ppl reforging to spirit as disc? Is there some kind of hidden mechanic that i for some reason missed?

What i can see int=manaregen making spirit less of a choice due to int scaling and rapture.

Any pointers would be appreciated.

I guess you could make the argument that more spirit allows you to use less mana efficient heals (more flash heals basically), which increases your throughput.

That said, I agree with you. I run 1700 spirit with Tsunami+FoM myself (havn't seen a healer trinket drop either)

I know what you mean our Disc priest finds herself reforging out of spirit especially now with the Firelands Nerf. I play a resto druid and I have been reforging away from spirit for a while in favor of hitting another haste break point or more mastery.

people reforging INTO spirit as disc are pretty confused

Disc regen scales with intellect, so heavy spirit gets less and less necessary as you get better gear.

Not having to worry about going oom because you use flash heal is pretty massive if you ask me. The amount of single target healing u can do with PWS>FH>FH>FH>PWS is pretty damn massive.

H-Baleroc and H-rag are really mana taxing. those are the only two reasons to reforge into heavy spirit. (not so much H-Baleroc after the nerfs)
