And unless you are rolling a whole dps gear set with crystals and stuff it makes 0 sense to get gloves for 3% of non-existing dps. wtf.If u want to dps even 1 pounding will contribute more. But u are much more useful if u do other stuff.. Unless you are going CW or AB and dps there but well you can as well go with idoneal there and save money for cute costumes.
So many people got off topic real quick so I guess I'll just tag and keep things short and to the point.
1. Forget ambush
2. Do VSH and get deathwrack. I do understand it may be hard at this point in patch to get people to go VSH at all because the people that are capable are already all geared up and VSH is really not the dungeon to run to earn money. I don't know what else to suggest other than join a good guild make some friends and get them to run with you.
3. Get oblit if you can. Raids are hard to get into but once you start building a name for yourself, and start making some friends, having a spot in a raid wouldn't be a problem. Connections are a wonderful thing.
4. Whether getting them to +15 or not doesn't matter, in fact it might even be better to wait until the gear revamp to fully enchant your gear because it is supposedly to be easier to enchant.
5. Whoever told you to max heal skills and whatnot, laugh it off. Healer always prioritize defense, a dead healer is a useless healer, most of your skills outheals people anyways so it's obvious what to roll for.
6. attack speed versus cooldowns, depends on your preference. As a priest I like cdr, mystic I like attack speed, that's just me, you should have your own play style.
But again that is only viable if you know your class very well and can play very well, it's not impossible, it's been done before, even me, I'm only decent as a heal, I would not consider myself as good or great at all, and I've successfully iframed every attack from Vergos (until getting [filtered] over by skeletons of course).
Despite being a waste, why gear a healer? Well because what else do you do in this game? You either gear up or you dress up (I do both, rip bank). Especially if you are like me, who only really plays one character, there is no reason not to and it really shows you main that class.
The point of gearing is to let you make more "mistakes" or facetank more attacks/mechanics to get off more skills safely.
Full Poisedly dyads are also extremely powerful, being even better than going from Misery to full +15 VM9 during enrages, so you also have to include those when talking about gear.
Just to be clear, I think everyone I saw here (at least I'm sure I did) said to focus on those two at once. You get as much of both as you can, and only if you'll really have to chose one OR the other, then defense may come in handy more than heal factor. Otherwise I see no reason why not go for it.
Besides depending on mechanics, if the hit is such as you can get hit only once, and second will kill you without you recovering your HP back up before, having more defense will require you to heal less yourself again (which you will, if you sacrificed the heal factor), while more heal factor will make you need more healing (if you sacrificed defense) which you will have there to compensate too. One shots are one shots anyway too.
Summing up both of what you and I said: never sacrifice defense if you don't reeeeally need it (say, solo content or whatever the heck weird situation you would need this), but still get as much heals as you can, and yes CDR/attack speed too.
If I'm not mistaken, CDR, attack Speed and healing factor is where you'll start to have to chose. Defense vs those, usually not at all other than zyrks/vyrsks.
Well.. tbh i was going to dive into the "go for gloves, more dps for ES and TN" thing, but i think that there is no point in adressing that issue. If you are the best priest in the game, and you dont need more endurance (that a proper etch 4 will give you on your boots), then you shouldnt be worried about upgrading the gear from misery. If i remember correctly, ive seen Healers do HH30 on Starfall, a gear that even then was crap.
So yea, save your money for either DW+15 (we still have 4 months of patch), gear a DPS alt or buy customes so you are ready for the real end game (AFK erping)
ye why my priest is in dw/ob fully enchanted, it's all for the face tanking man
I'm actually crying lmao. No, you literally should NEVER be worrying about doing DPS with those skills. You're ridiculous.
You're literally making him waste his time if you're suggesting Ambush +12.... that's basically misery. People even go as far as to say it's a little bit worse.
I know that....the fact that you thought I was serious actually surprises me.
Next patch he can enchant without the need of alks and he won't need to awakening enchant, also Ambush +15 can be converted in High tier gear at +7 while Misery +12 star as a Mid tier 0, so that is a diference of 16 levels of enchantment and one conversion.
I only did a recomendation to make something that is easy to farm, cheap to craft, easy to enchant till +12 and in next patch will be almost less than half the cost to get to +15 and get High tier +7 that would be only 4 levels of enchantment and one conversion behind of deathwrak +15.
If he can make DW then better do DW but he already stated that at the moment he can't find people to run the dungeon with so I think ambush is the best thing to go by those circustamces.
