Corish's gear wishlist (update)

I'm now sitting at the following for stats (self-buffed, no potions or stat food):

Health: 7420
Mana: 9300
Healing: 1200
MP5: 224
STA: 421
INT: 465
SPI: 376

Things I need to work on:

- STA is dropping down to 420, I need to push that back up to 425.

- I'd like to get SPI up to 400.

- More +healing. I need to cross +1400 or so.

- INT: I may push to get to 475 INT.

- MP5: I need to stay above 220. The 2.4 patch changed how MP5 is calculated, so I regen a good bit more mana per 5 seconds then before (I was around 180 prior to the change).

- I need to get Enchanting up to 375 an obtain some of the less common recipes. And to be able to enchant my rings with +healing power. I'm at 360 enchanting at the moment, so I'm close.

One Handed Weapons

Currently using:

[Hammer of the Penitent] +227 Healing 6 MP5 16 INT 13 SPI
- Got this in Mechanar and I'm very happy with it.

Looking for:

[Shockwave Truncheon] +317 Healing 6 MP5 24 STA 0 INT 0 SPI
- Murmur in the Shadow Labyrinth (Heroic). Has a lot of STA, but no INT/SPI, so I'm on the fence about it. It would depend on looks whether I would go after it.

[Gavel of Pure Light] +299 Healing 8 MP5 12 STA 12 INT 0 SPI
- Exalted reward with Sha'tar. Which will probably take me a long time to attain.

After that, I'll be waiting for either of the following from Karazhan:

[Shard of the Virtuous] +348 Healing 6 MP5 22 STA 20 INT 0 SPI
- Maiden of Virtue in Karazhan. Great stats, only a so-so look (it's very big and very glowy blue).

[Light's Justice] +382 Healing 0 MP5 16 STA 21 INT 20 SPI
- Prince Malchezaar in Karazhan, nice gold hammer with green gem accents. No MP5, but 20 SPI (roughly 4 MP5).

[Gavel of Naaru Blessings] +464 Healing 0 MP5 42 STA 28 INT 0 SPI
- 150 Badges of Justice. Lots of +healing power.

Off-Hand Items

Currently using:

[Netherwing Spiritualist's Charm] +33 Healing 6 MP5 0 STA 15 INT 15 SPI

There's also:

[Lamp of Peaceful Repose] +35 Healing 6 MP5 16 STA 18 INT 0 SPI
- Dalliah the Doomsayer in the the Arcatraz.
- I'd probably switch to this instead of the [Netherwing Spiritualist's Charm] if it dropped.

[Lordaeron Medical Guide] +46 Healing 0 MP5 12 STA 10 INT 16 SPI
- Lieutenant Drake in the Escape from Durnholde Keep (Heroic)
- Likely the best upgrade, even into Karazhan. I'd still prefer the lamp, but having a book in my off-hand is good for RP purposes.

Karazhan drops:

[Signet of Unshakable Faith] +37 Healing 0 MP5 19 STA 21 INT 22 SPI
- Drops from Moroes in Karazhan. The stats on it are pretty good, although I'd give up maybe 2-3 MP5. Well worth rolling on.

[Aran's Soothing Sapphire] +51 Healing 8 MP5 0 STA 22 INT 0 SPI
- Also a so-so piece compared to the others. I'd probably pass on it because all it has is INT.

Neck Items

I went ahead and bought the Living Ruby Pendant off of the Auction House:

[Living Ruby Pendant] +35 Healing 6 MP5 24 STA 15 INT 0 SPI
- About 90g at the Auction House.

[Necklace of Eternal Hope] +48 Healing 4 MP5 22 STA 21 INT 0 SPI
- 25 Badges of Justice. Yes it has a bit more healing power and INT, but the pendant has a 10-charge use effect which is quite useful. So of the two items, I think the pendant is the better choice.

Karazhan Drops:

[Shining Chain of the Afterworld] +46 Healing 0 MP5 18 STA 21 INT 19 SPI
- drop off of Netherspite in Karazhan.

Head Equipment

What I have now is [Halo of Transcendence] +48 Healing 0 MP5 17 STA 27 INT 22 SPI, which is a very nice piece from Onyxia. Upgrades for this are going to be a bit few and far between:

[Scintillating Headdress of Second Sight] +73 Healing 0 MP5 24 STA 27 INT 32 SPI
- Shirrak the Dead Watcher in Auchenai Crypts (Heroic)
- Probably one of the few upgrades prior to Karazhan

[Cowl of Naaru Blessings] +66 Healing 0 MP5 28 STA 29 INT 23 SPI
- Has both a BLUE and a META socket, so can be boosted
- 50 Badge of Justice

I'll probably chase after the Cowl of Naaru, assuming that I don't happen to get a Karazhan drop prior to getting 50 Badges of Justice. On the other hand, there are probably other items that I should buy with Badges of Justice first. So getting the drop from Auchenai Crypts may be my best hope.

Karazhan drops:

[Light-Collar of the Incarnate] +73 Healing 6 MP5 28 STA 34 INT 25 SPI
- Bought with a Helm of the Fallen Defender (drops from Prince Malchezaar in the Karazhan instance.)
- (1) META (1) BLUE sockets
- Looks like a stiff high collar that is white
- Part of the Incarnate Raiment set

[Headdress of the High Potentate] +81 Healing 0 MP5 37 STA 38 INT 32 SPI
- obtained by winning the Chess Event in Karazhan
- Looks like a silver floating halo type crown with purple gems

Wrist Equipment

There are hardly any good choices here. What I have is [Shattrath Wraps] +21 Healing 0 MP5 15 STA 15 INT (with socketed gems). About the only possible upgrade is:

[Wristguards of Tranquil Thought] +55 Healing 0 MP5 12 STA 17 INT 16 SPI
- 35 Badges of Justice
- Has a yellow socket, Shattrath Wraps had a red socket.

[Bands of the Benevolent] +46 Healing 0 MP5 18 STA 20 INT 18 SPI
- Talon King Ikiss in the Sethekk Halls (Heroic)

In fact, the WoTT are probably the best, even past Karazhan due to the socket. So I'm going to buy a Royal Nightseye and replace the Royal Shadow Draenite in my current Shattrath Wraps and work on Badges of Justice.

Karazhan drop:

[Bands of Indwelling] +46 Healing 0 MP5 22 STA 18 INT 20 SPI
- Drops from Maiden of Virtue in Karazhan.

Hands / Gloves

I now have:

[Handwraps of the Incarnate] +57 Healing 10 MP5 28 STA 26 INT 18 SPI

The next possible upgrade is probably from Hyjal Summit - Azgalor.

Back / Cloak

This is a spot that I need to examine more closely. I have a [Cloak of Healing Rays] +33 Healing 0 MP5 12 STA 13 INT 15 SPI there which looks very nice with the Primal Mooncloth set. So I've kept it, even though it's only a L63 item that I've had since winning it back at L62. There's only a handful of upgrades that look nice and go with the PMC set:

[Cloak of Scintillating Auras] +42 Healing 0 MP5 12 STA 16 INT 18 SPI
- Zereketh the Unbound in the Arcatraz, a gold cloak similar in looks to the Cloak of Healing Rays.

[Kharmaa's Shroud of Hope] +51 Healing 6 MP5 34 STA 15 INT 0 SPI
- 60 Badgets of Justice, white cloak with gold trim.

[Light-Touched Stole of Altruism] +55 Healing 0 MP5 22 STA 21 INT 0 SPI
- Exarch Maladaar in the Auchenai Crypts (heroic mode), nice white cloak but no SPI or MP5. Personally, I'd rather go with the Bishop's Cloak due to the 8 MP5.

Kharazhan drops are:

[Stainless Cloak of the Pure Hearted] +53 Healing 7 MP5 22 STA 23 INT 0 SPI
- White cloak with gold trim.

I'll probably enchant my cloak with [Enchant Cloak - Subtlety] or +7 to all resists or +15 to Shadow resist.

Rings

Another area that I need to re-examine. There's a lot of options, so I need to sit down and decide which ones I like. What I have now are:

[Heirloom Signet of Convalescence] +44 Healing 0 MP5 7 STA 11 INT 5 SPI
[Keeper's Ring of Piety] +42 Healing 7 MP5 0 STA 0 INT 18 SPI

Basically, one ring will be for +healing and MP5, the other ring will be for +healing and stats.

Possible upgrades:

[Band of Halos] +46 Healing 6 MP5 22 STA 21 INT 0 SPI
- 25 Badges of Justice, this is probably the replacement for the Keeper's Ring of Piety. Assuming that I don't get something from Karazhan off of the Prince (which is +68 healing with 12 MP5).

[Violet Signet: Friendly] +42 Healing 0 MP5 18 STA 18 INT 12 SPI
[Violet Signet: Honored] +48 Healing 0 MP5 21 STA 21 INT 15 SPI
[Violet Signet: Revered] +51 Healing 0 MP5 24 STA 22 INT 17 SPI
[Violet Signet: Exalted] +55 Healing 0 MP5 24 STA 23 INT 17 SPI

Trinkets

Currently, I'm using:

[Auslese's Light Channeler] +59 Healing 0 MP5 0 STA 0 INT 0 SPI
[Scarab of the Infinite Cycle] +70 Healing 0 MP5 0 STA 0 INT 0 SPI

Which is actually a pair of really good trinkets for a healing priest. The scarab cuts my 2.5 sec greater heal down to 2.08 sec when it procs (which it does moderately often). The light channeler lets my next heal within 10 seconds cost 215 less mana (with a short 2 minute cooldown).

To be honest, I'm not entirely sure that I want to replace either trinket before I get to SSC or Black Temple.

Leg Equipment

I have [Imbued Netherweave Pants] +30 Healing 10 MP5 39 STA 12 INT 0 SPI

[Pants of the Naaru] +77 Healing 0 MP5 27 STA 22 INT 25 SPI
- Netherstorm quest, but I give up at least 5 MP5. I don't think they're worth it, even though they'd give me +47 healing.

[Achromic Trousers of the Naaru] +101 Healing 0 MP5 34 STA 35 INT 0 SPI
- 75 Badges of Justice, but zero mana regen (giving up 10 MP5), so not really a desireable option either.

[Pontiff's Pantaloons of Prophecy] +55 Healing 0 MP5 12 STA 27 INT 24 SPI
- Captain Skarloc in Old Hillsbrad Foothills (Heroic)
- (1) red (2) blue sockets, which means it could be boosted a bit to provide (6) MP5, but I'd still lose out on 27 STA, overall it would be an upgrade over the Imbued Netherweave Pants (once gemmed).

[Pontifex Kilt] +66 Healing 0 MP5 25 STA 29 INT 27 SPI
- Warlord Kalithresh in the Steamvault (Heroic)
- (1) red (1) blue (1) yellow socket, so it can be boosted to provide (6) MP5 along with the ~5 MP5 from the 27 spirit. This would be a definite upgrade over the Imbued Netherweave Pants. These are basically equivalent to the Whitemend Pants.

If I happen to get the Whitemend Pants pattern (from Dalliah the Doomsayer in The Arcatraz), I may go ahead and make those:

[Whitemend Pants] +62 Healing 11 MP5 21 STA 21 INT 0 SPI
- (1) red (1) blue (1) yellow socket, so it can be boosted to provide (6) more MP5 along with a good bit more healing power.

[Achromic Trousers of the Naaru] +101 Healing 0 MP5 34 STA 35 INT 0 SPI
- 75 Badges of Justice

Karazhan drops:

[Pantaloons of Repentence] +68 Healing 0 MP5 27 STA 34 INT 26 SPI
- (2) blue and (1) red socket = 6 MP5 plus ~5 MP5 from the 26 spirit.

Feet Equipment

Wearing [Jeweled Boots of Sanctification] +55 Healing 6 MP5 22 STA 25 INT 0 SPI

[Boots of the Long Road] +73 Healing 9 MP5 25 STA 26 INT 22 SPI
- non-BoP pattern from SSC or The Eye (raid zones), but the crafted result is BoP
- Basically equivalent to the boots that drop from Shade of Aran in Karazhan

[Boots of the Incorrupt] +57 Healing 8 MP5 24 STA 24 INT 23 SPI
- Shade of Aran in Karazhan.

[Slippers of Dutiful Mending] +86 Healing 0 MP5 28 STA 25 INT 34 SPI
- 75 Badges of Justice

Wands

The only wand on my list is:

[Carved Witch Doctor's Stick] 175.7 DPS +18 Healing 0 MP5 9 STA 15 INT 0 SPI
- Has a blue socket, so can be boosted another 9 Healing and 2 MP5.
- 25 Badges of Justice

Enchants

Once I reach 370 enchanting and gain the repuation needed to buy the recipe, I can enchant my rings with +20 Healing (each ring). Which is the only enchant that can be placed on rings.
