Jack are you reading this? Stop it. Shoo.
Anyway... So I made a post the other night about me getting my new mace, and today came the time to enchant it. I had my 81 healing mats already farmed and ready to go. Then I started thinking... what about spellsurge? So I start doing some research, talking to various paladins and other healers, browsing different websites seeing opinions and experiences... Basically I came to the conclusion that there was not a SINGLE person that really flamed spellsurge, which is really amazing since you know how forum posts just love to flame everything. So I figure I'd give it a shot.
Mats aren't cheap. 12 Large prismatic shards (25-30g per on Frostmane), 10 Greater Planars (I dropped about 40g on these), and a stack (20) of arcane dust. If you're an enchanter, great, this isn't too bad. I'm not, so this ended up taking a dent out of my wallet.
So tonight's raid in Hyjal was the big test. My party makeup was myself, another holy paladin, 2 resto shaman, and a resto druid. The thing proc'd like CRAZY. I remember it procing 3-4 times in a single wave of mobs. It really made everyone in my party thinking about switching to spellsurge and making it a spellsurge group (since the buff stacks and you can potentially have 50mp5 x 5 going at the same time)
Now, having said all that... This enchant is NOT for everyone. It would be a complete waste to put it on a mace that you're going to be replacing quickly, unless maybe you're an enchanter. It also is NOT for those who are really lacking on healing or, in the case of 30 int to weapon, crit/mana pool. However, for myself, I had over 2k healing unbuffed with that mace w/o even enchanting it. My mp5 has been steadily on the decline though, and this enchant is going to make up for some of that PLUS it gives mana to everyone in the party. Its REALLY good stuff, and I strongly recommend it to any raiding guild. Try to get a spellsurge group going!
