Discipline LootRank

Holy LootRank

Pawn values

Pawn values for these are:

( Pawn: v1: "Discipline31": Stamina=0.2, Intellect=0.8915, Spirit=0.3223, RedSocket=12.5323, CritRating=0.3564, MetaSocket=18.7224, HasteRating=0.2925, BlueSocket=10.1323, YellowSocket=14.2647, SpellPower=0.6, Mp5=1)

( Pawn: v1: "Holy31": Stamina=0.2, Intellect=0.6890, Spirit=0.5222, RedSocket=10.9123, CritRating=0.3763, MetaSocket=14.4697, HasteRating=0.3059, BlueSocket=9.6897, YellowSocket=11.0246, SpellPower=0.6, Mp5=1)

Note that the gem values are derived from the best-in-slot blue gems for each socket. These for both specs are Insightful Earthsiege Diamond (meta), Brilliant Autumn’s Glow (yellow), Luminous Monarch Topaz (red), Dazzling Forest Emerald (Disc – blue) and Seer’s Forest Emerald (Holy – blue).

MP5

How much MP5 are abilities worth a T7.5 gearing level?

• Replenishment about 180-200 MP5
• Shadowfiend about 100-110 MP5
• Rapture about 165 MP5
• Holy Concentration about 50 MP5
• Divine Aegis about 130 MP5 at 20% crit
• Surge of light about 145 MP5 at 20% crit
• Inspiration about 60 MP5 at 20% crit

Basic sensitivity analysis

The numbers don’t change much based on starting heroics and T7 gearing levels. As would be expected there is relatively less importance attached to Crit and Haste rating making spell power more valuable.

Starting heroics

(Spell power: 1200, IFSR MP5: 200, Spirit: 500, Int: 700, Crit: 12%)

Source	Disc	Holy
MP5	1.0000	1.0000
Spirit	0.2767	0.4705
Intellect	0.8465	0.6486
SP	0.6000	0.6000
Crit rating	0.3039	0.3462
Stamina	0.2000	0.2000
Haste rating	0.2413	0.2503

Starting T7

(Spell power: 1400, IFSR MP5: 230, Spirit: 600, Int: 800, Crit: 14%)

Source	Disc	Holy
MP5	1.0000	1.0000
Spirit	0.2958	0.4922
Intellect	0.8630	0.6646
SP	0.6000	0.6000
Crit rating	0.3179	0.3546
Stamina	0.2000	0.2000
Haste rating	0.2550	0.2657

T7.5 Raid buffed

Numbers for the original data with some raid buffs (Blessing of Kings, Mark of the Wild, Divine Spirit, Arcane Brilliance, Inner Fire) are pretty similar to unbuffed. You could throw even more buffs in there but the effect is minimal on the final gear list.

Source	Disc	Holy
MP5	1.0000	1.0000
Spirit	0.3836	0.6120
Intellect	0.9941	0.7826
SP	0.6000	0.6000
Crit rating	0.3686	0.3848
Stamina	0.2000	0.2000
Haste rating	0.3043	0.3216
