A few questions. (I know, I know)

The sacred burial trousers. What's the point? 4 spellpower doesn't seem like its enough to make it worth grinding out at level 19, or using over the darkweave breeches, or a green of healing piece that'd have more spellpower anyway. For comparison: http://www.wowhead.com/?compare=6282;12987

Is the engineer's cloak worth going for (5 stam 2 intel quest at level 16.)?

In light of rip's advice in the other thread, maybe take off the robe of evocation and the dignified headmaster's charge.

And greenweave bracers with straight 4 stamina might be worth adding.


Edit: One more question I thought of: How good is haste rating for a priest? You have it on a trinket and a glove enchant, but we cast mostly instants. Worth getting?

Thanks.

Mm, that's a personal call. I say the Sacred burial are better, but that's your choice.

Couldn't hurt. If you're willing to give up sp and hit rating for 3 stats, be my guest. :P

Mmm, good idea.

Forgot about those, ty.

Haste rating on a priest... not so much. Like you said, a lot of your spells are instant and you'll constantly be on the run. Haste rating won't help you much. I really just put them on there for cheap priests, I guess I should take those off too.

[Rip]

Haha I didn't know that your whispers ingame would be quoted as "Rip's Official Advice" in a guide lol.

[Cookíes]

Lol, Cyclone? I thought we were friends duckhunt...

[Mathalor]

Good point about the spidersilk drape, I was comparing the engineer cloak with the tranquillien cloak.

Can you explain about the cloak enchants? Dodge rating only works on melee, from the front, when you don't have a cast bar, and resists are, well, crap. I thought.

I would have guessed armor would be best in slot. Why those two?

Also the first two would seem to have minimal effect vs. hunters, while armor would have a small effect.

[Mathalor]

I'll try to explain my thinking about the pants thing, just for anyone reading. It does come down to a personal choice.

Wearing the sacred burial trousers over the breeches gives you 3 spirit and 4 spell power at the cost of 4 armor (taking into account armor kits), 4 stamina and 2 intel.

Getting the pants in the first place has the opportunity cost of 3/4 of your level 19 xp bar, minimum (No kill or exploration xp).

You wouldn't do this for a stamina set or an intel set, obviously, and for a spellpower set you'd be better off with a 9 spellpower green.

So this leaves a balanced set. In a balanced set, there are other places to trade stamina/intel for spellpower. The first being enchants, or boe gear switches. These places might not have such a good trade-off ratio, however, which is why it is a personal choice.

So, I was thinking if I wanted more spellpower (I'm ignoring the spirit and armor for now, because my understanding is the benefit of 3 spirit/4 armor isn't worth factoring in), I'd change my gear elsewhere, and not have to spend so much xp at my final level.

Sorry for the small wall of text, especially from one as inexperienced as I. This has been on my mind.

[Fìalotta]

[Motat]

Is this for priest healers? And disc or holy at level 19 for healing?
