gear effect advice

[Kari]

<p>I was wondering if anyone had worked out the math to equate the value of reuse timers against heal crit and plus to heals. I currently have the Signet of Thuuga and the Ring of the Four Winds, trying to decide if I should replace one with the Rusting Ring or just give the new ring to a friend. I don't like the low stats or the lack of resists on the Ring of the Four Winds, but don't want to really give up the 5% reuse unless the crit and plus heals on the new one would compensate for it. My guild raids very casually so I am unlikely to get any big ring upgrades in the near term, unless I get lucky on Master P.</p><p> <img src="http://i204.photobucket.com/albums/bb60/Kari884/EQ2_rings.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></p>

I would base the decision on what my current heal amount is.  I try and balance between them all, without going to any one extreme too much.  I'm a bit of a reuse speed addict, so I'd more than likely stay with the four winds ring based on that alone.  I have way too many sets of "alternate" gear I juggle around--a full set of overloaded heal, one with tons of heal crit, another with heal amount, and various other little effects.  I would say I have at least 3 bags of stuff that I switch in and out like that.

<p>I would say keep thuuga and four winds.   If the new one isn't a significant upgrade to a friend then keep it as spare gear for yourself.   That way if you ever get a bit more into raiding you can use it as a spare piece to jack up a resist you might need on various encounters.</p>

I know it's a bit late, and you probably have already given the ring to a friend but with expansion all gear below our level is taking a 2/3rds cut in effectiveness for every 10 levels. That being said... it is going to execute in a manner that I do not understand. I have been told it will be a portion of every level. I have also been told it will not effect attributes.  So is casting redux and effect?  And with an 11 level difference, this will effect the ring greatly but it has rocked up to now and I am sure, or at least I pray, an upgrade similar to that ring will be available in expansion.Wish I had more info but that's all I have right now.
