Hi people...
I am maybe going to continue on my Priest and now begin on Discipline healing rather than Restoration. I am just a bit confused about which stats a Discipline healer goes for. I know that critt makes it easier to proc Divine Aegis, but Power Word: Shield doesn't benefit from critt. Intellect gives more mana and low critt, but since a Discipline Priest don't go OOM (from what I have heard), getting intellect for mana from Rapture isn't important. Then we have spell power that increases all your spells healing (including Power Word: Shield), but then we might not critt as much. What stats are prefered as a Discipline Priest? Maybe there is a system with getting critt cap (if there is such thing) and then go pure SP or something.
Besides shouldn't the prefered meta socket for a Discipline Priest be the one giving 25 spell power and 2% more intellect? Compared to the other with 21 intellect and chance for free cast, it gives the same amount of intellect if you have 1.000 (which many DPriest do today), and 25 more SP.
