First red adorn, suggestions?

Rick777 · 07-12-2010, 09:30 AM

I got my 2nd piece of raid armor last night, a set of boots, I already have my shoulders. So I'm browsing thru the red adorns and am really unsure of which one to get. I'm stuck between Aegolism (does that 30% affect all stats or just hp?), +10 crit bonus to stances, word of redemption, or unyielding benediction, the group intercession one looks nice also.

So here is what I'm leaning towards in order of importance.

1) +10 crit bonus to stances: I'm really leaning towards this one, I always use one stance or another, usually heal stance when MT group, and dps stance when we are on trash and occasionally on OT group, so it would get a lot of use.

2) Aegolism: +30%, is this to hit points as well as the offensive stats we get with our mythical spell? Or is this only hp?

3) Word of Redemption: -1.5 seconds reuse. This would be useful as well, especially when we don't have a druid in our group, with AOE's it's nice to have group heal up quicker, I'm at 6.9 seconds reuse currently so I'm not sure getting it to 5.4 seconds would really help that much with the usual 2 aoe in a row pattern you see.

4) Unyielding benediction: +2% trigger chance, nice to have for the MT.

5) Group intercession: adds 3 triggers. Very nice, but I'm not sure that my group reactive is getting eaten up all the time so not sure if those extra triggers would be wasted. Especially on the MT who probably wouldn't use them, but it is nice to have the extra 3 triggers on the group, and there always is the possibility of spike damage on the MT that goes over repent, etc.

I don't raid too much hard content yet, so I have a feeling it will be a while before I get another piece, maybe I'll get the bracer in the near future, so I have to make a good choice here. I'm usually the MT healer, although sometimes I will be OT healer. What do you guys think?

1) is super great imo, helps a bunch no matter what you're doing

2) instinct would say it would not afffect your myth-added stats, but not sure

3) you would not see the full 1.5 sec reuse like that, it would decrease the max reuse time from 9 to 7.5; since you have 30% reuse already, it would then drop to 7.5/1.3 = 5.77

4) awesome

5) very, very awesome; increases triggers from 9 to 12? that basically means that when you cast it before a double AE, you will have 1 tick per person per AE.

IMO, 1 or 5 first

I'm leaning towards the crit bonus, but someone else also suggested the group intercession and dangit now I'm considering this as well as a tie with the crit bonus. Bah, decisions.

either way, you can't go wrong SMILEY

The crit bonus will help you heal better in general, but the group reactive ticks will help a good bit more, specifically on AEs, and even moreso if you are solo-healing your group
