Corish's wish list for gear (update)

I got my Whitemend Pants made last night, so I'm now sitting at the following for stats (self-buffed, no potions or stat food):

Health: 7670
Mana: 9435
Healing: 1484
MP5: 236
STA: 431
INT: 473
SPI: 406

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:

[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). I'll probably pass on this if it does drop as I have my eyes set on the next two items.

[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.
- Looks mace-like, with a golden bird motif.

At the moment, I'm saving up Badges of Justice for the 150-badge Gavel. Which would give me 82 more healing power and better stats then the hammer that drops off of Prince in Karazhan. There's also a sceptre that drops off of Lady Vashj in SSC which is comparable to the 150-badge gavel. Basically, if Light's Justice drops, then I'll use the saved up badges for other gear upgrades. But if I get to 150 badges first, then I'll just go buy the gavel.

Off-Hand Items

Currently using:

[Aran's Soothing Sapphire] +51 Healing 8 MP5 0 STA 22 INT 0 SPI

Next major upgrade comes from either Black Temple or Hyjal Summit. The 25-badge [Tears of Heaven] is 75 healing and 6 MP5 with no other stats. The [Windcaller's Orb] from Cenarion Expedition (Exalted) reputation is 64 healing 16 INT 12 SPI and no MP5.

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.

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

[Shattered Sun Pendant of Restoration] +70 Healing 7 MP5 19 STA 0 INT 0 SPI
- Requires exalted status with Shattered Sun Offensive (easily gotten as I'm running non-stop dailies?)
- 4% chance of Aldor proc granting "Light's Salvation" which adds +220 healing and +74 spell damage for 10 seconds.

[Brooch of Nature's Mercy] +75 Healing 0 MP5 0 STA 24 INT 19 SPI
- Also has 33 spell haste
- Drops from Akil'Zon in Zul'Aman.
- The lack of STA is worrying as I'm struggling to stay above 7500 self-buffed for Karazhan

Head Equipment

What I have now is [Light-Collar of the Incarnate] +73 Healing 6 MP5 28 STA 34 INT 25 SPI.

[Hood of the Third Eye] +90 Healing 13 MP5 36 STA 40 INT 0 SPI
- (1) red, (1) yellow, (1) blue socket, +2 MP5 for socket bonus
- Drops from Hex Lord Malacrass in Zul'Aman.

The other alternative is [Cowl of the Avatar] which requires a "Helm of the Vanquished Defender" token from SSC (Lady Vashj). It's part of the Avatar Rainment. The head, hands and legs drop in SSC and the shoulders and chest drop in TK:Eye.

Wrist Equipment

What I have is [Wristguards of Tranquil Thought] +55 Healing 0 MP5 12 STA 17 INT 16 SPI.

In fact, the WoTT are probably the best, even past Karazhan due to the socket. The next upgrade is then [Wraps of Purification] from SSC (Hydross the Unstable).

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 SSC (Leotheras the Blind) which would be my T6 token piece.

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.
- If I don't end up buying the 150-badge hammer, I'm very likely to purchase this. On the other hand, we're downing Prince in Kara reguarly, so I should be able to get Prince's drop.

[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.

Kharazhan drops are:

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

Upgrades after this point come from TK:Eye or BT.

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

Rings

[Violet Signet: Revered] +51 Healing 0 MP5 24 STA 22 INT 17 SPI
[Ring of Spiritual Precision] +0 Healing 7 MP5 13 STA 18 INT 15 SPI

Both rings are enchanted with the +20 healing enchant.

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 Ring of Spiritual Precision. If I don't get the 150-badge hammer, this is a strong possibility.

[Anveena's Touch] +66 Healing 11 MP5 27 STA 19 INT 0 SPI
- 60 Badges of Justice
- Another strong possibility. It's definitely an upgrade over the Band of Halos, but possibly not worth the extra 35 badges.

[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. Although I may replace the Light Channeler with:

[Essence of the Martyr] +84 Healing 0 MP5 0 STA 0 INT 0 SPI
- Use: Boosts +healing by 297 for 20 seconds
- 41 Badges (G'eras in Shattrath)

[Ribbon of Sacrifice] +73 Healing 0 MP5 0 INT 0 SPI
- Use: Boosts +healing by 30 to 150 based on # of heals given
- Drops from Opera in Karazhan (all events)

Leg Equipment

I have [Whitemend Pants] +62 Healing 11 MP5 21 STA 21 INT 0 SPI

[Adorned Supernal Legwraps] +114 Healing 0 MP5 27 STA 40 INT 42 SPI
- (1) blue and (1) red
- 100 Badges of Justice
- These are *very* tempting because they are just outstanding. On the downside, it would take 6-8 weeks to earn another 100 badges.

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.
- Drops off of Netherspite
- I would pass on this unless I'm the only one who needs it

Feet Equipment

Wearing: [Boots of the Incorrupt] +57 Healing 8 MP5 24 STA 24 INT 23 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, but with a bit more +healing.

[Slippers of Dutiful Mending] +86 Healing 0 MP5 28 STA 25 INT 34 SPI
- 75 Badges of Justice
- I would gain almost 30 healing, but give up around 3 MP5.
- Not a high priority upgrade for spending badges on.

Wands

I'm using [Wand of the Netherwing] +16 Healing 19 STA

Upgrades:

[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

[Blue Diamond Witchwand] 161.0 DPS +29 Healing 0 MP5 0 STA 13 INT 11 SPI
- Wizard of Oz event in Karazhan

[Luminescent Rod of the Naaru] 177.3 DPS +35 Healing 6 MP5 0 STA 14 INT 0 SPI
- Drops from Morogrim Tidewalker in Serpentshrine Cavern.
