<p>I've looked at the shard jewelry and I can't find anything that looks suitable for Mystics.</p><p>Battlepriest set looks ok for dps gear, but not good for pure healing. The set bonus is a 5% DA debuff, which I think is near useless.</p><p>The druidic set has a nice earring, but the cloak and bracelet are crappy. The set bonus is sta/agi and shield block (?). So this set seems no good if the intention is healing.</p><p>The Rejuvenating set has power regen and mediocre healing boost. The set bonus is a self heal/power regen that procs on attacks/hostile spells, which seems like a silly thing to put on a healer item.</p><p>Those three are the only sets that looks designed for healers, and imo they are all mediocre.</p>

<p>In the 5 shard sets there are pieces that give you 1 heal crit and 35 heal on each piece that isn't bad for healing in places you don't have better.</p>

<p>Have not seen anything that great either, but I get most of my heal gear from raiding. I might get the "onslaught" set just for fun. But even with that set I have seen better drops in instances. Personally none of the TOS healer gear has any WOW factor to me. And by WOW I mean "(I really want to get that piece type WOW!! not World of Warcraft .</p>

<p>I do like (and wear) some pieces of the Numinous set of Shard Armor, and the DPS set looks nice as well, but I'm a long way from ready to spend shards on something I only use while solo'ing, when I'm sitting in the middle of a group oriented expansion.</p><p>The jewelry from the Shard merchants is, imo, very lackluster.  Pocket Sized Holy Symbol is ok, but it's a very, very minor upgrade over Survival Accord rewards.</p><p>Here's a few pieces I like so far:</p><p>Vashotan Neonates Skullcap</p><p>Atrebite Signet Brooch</p><p>Fitzfangle's Forge Mitts</p><p>Sash of Prismatic Reflection</p><p>Carved Ice Signet</p><p>I like the Signature Reward, except for the proc.  I mean, yea, I'm gonna debuff the mob, but I could care less whether I damage it in the process.  It's certainly worthless in my healing gear.  I'd prefer the proc be some sort of heal oriented proc, like the Rolling Pin.</p>

<p>I'm using the Forge Mitts and the Carved Ice Signet. I don't think the other items you mention are that great. Reduced cast time is good, but not when it's only 1 or 2 and no other effects.</p><p>I guess I'll spend my shards on DPS jewelry :/</p>

<p>There's nothing for healers from the Shard merchants. I've also yet to get an upgrade from any instance (besides a cloak) and I normally do 1 or 2 a day.  Healers got a rough time this expansion it seems. I saw a post a while ago where someone raised this and Fireflyte (I think) responded saying he'd made loads of nice healer items and we just needed to wait for them to drop. Still waiting...</p>
