Trinkets for holy priests are posted seperately.
Done.
Hmm, our lists are quite comparable though mine is more regen / allround oriented and less focused on throughput. This matters only on a few places:
– Cloak: the shawl of refreshing winds scores a tad higher than your BiS.
– Bracers: the moonshroud craftable comes on top 🙂
– Wands: brimstone scores a tad higher than scepter of creation (though I probably won’t go for brimstone)
But generally when I tend to build a second list. The second loot list I build follows different rules. It is weighed out as follows:
– based on all round stats (60% regen, 40% throughput). The drop in throughput tends to favor items that are “less optimally” itemized for dps and therefor less favored.
– a tradeoff in “ease to get” and “gain”. Some items won’t even get an upgrade since it would require hardmode farming, which is something my guild hardly does. That loot is also highly desired by many and therefor I prefer not to get involved into the loot competition.
This is what I came up with for 3.2:
http://www.wowhead.com/?compare=48062:48063:48064:48065:48066:47588:45170:45243:40405:46050:47732:45113:45558
What do you think?
I left out weapons and trinkets for a reason. Trinkets are tricky and I prefer to chose them on a fight per fight basis. Weapons are a tough one as well:
– the MH+OH combo scores higher atm, but it requires 2 upgrades to make it better.
– the staves offer some nice intermediate solutions but not BiS.
So for weapons I just wait untill something drops and then make a call 😉
zusterke, do you find yourself having mana issues still? I’m curious at to your reasoning for still wanting mana regen at the T9+ level. Once I hit 320 and certainly by 350 MP5 unbuffed i’ve not had mana issues except following a battle rez. Even then a good use of shadowfiend+hymn is usually more than sufficient.
I too have a second list which are personal upgrades. This is based on what content i’m likely to be able to access in the next few weeks and which upgrades are going to be easiest to get. This list excludes sidegrades and small upgrades, and anything i’m unlikely to be able to access (such as most of the later Ulduar 25 hard modes currently). It sounds very similar to your list.
That wowhead link is your current target gear right? Looks ok to me. Mine looks like this:

Interesting that you choose trinkets on a fight-by-fight basis. I rarely change mine unless I get a new one.
I prefer the MH+OH combo, because it allows more incremental upgrades rather than single, lucky, bigger ones. There is also less competition for MH+OH drops than for 2 handers. Before my recent dagger drop I was using Impossible Dream for months, and months and months…
Gobble gobble.
Edit: This list above is for my discipline spec. I don’t have a holy spec ATM.
I never have mana ‘problems’ but I always end the fight feeling ‘If I had more mana, I still could have used it’.
Only when I feel there is an abundance of mana do I swap to throughput 😉 But that’s just my playstyle really.
As far as swapping trinkets goes: it depends on the fight. If I feel swapping could give me a small edge I will do that. But I recently acquired a couple of trinkets that tend to be ‘best’ or ‘fit for most fights’. It’s mostly when I’m stuck with mediocre trinkets that I will optimize their use for each fight. I had 3 blue trinkets and a green one when I first set foot in Naxx. I only looted 2 epic trinkets in a raid since. So, my options are really limited, but I’m a swapper at hearth.
I have a question for you Bob. Since your going more towards throughput, would you lean more towards using flask of the frost wyrm, or would you still rock flask of distilled wisdom or pure mojo?
[…] Holy Priest […]
@crzychkn – I’ve always used Flasks of the Frost Wyrm. Since about the end of tier 7 i’ve had zero mana issues.
I have think some of the Holy priests I play with prefer MP5 flasks, but they seem to have a bit more issue with mana. Not 100% on that though.
Gobble gobble.
Thanks for the reply Bob. 🙂 Keep up the good work!

Zabra/Velen’s Raiments of Triumph is listed twice… how much better is Merlin’s robe over Velen’s Robe of Triumph? Is it worth giving up the 4 piece bonus? It does not seem like a big upgrade.
Yes it is listed twice because there is an item level 245 version and an item level 258 version.
For Holy Merlin’s Robe (stat weight = 663) is only a very small upgrade to the 245 Velen’s Robe of Triumph (stat weight 559).
I was wondering if you will have 3.3 ratings?
Yes first thing in the new year.
