Hi all. Is "+39 spell crit rating" better or worse than "+10 healing and 10 MP5"?
If you really want to know how I got to that question, please keep reading (WARNING - It's confusing). If you don't care, then please just let me know your thoughts on the question.
Let me start by saying that I reviewed the illustrious stickie. That being said, I am looking at dumping my BS prof (currently only 225) since there is nothing really good that I can't buy/have guildie make for me. Sooooooo, I'm looking for a new prof.
My other prof is mining (lvl 370), and I plan to keep it.
I am tossing up between engineering, enchanting, or jewelcrafting (already have Alch on alt).
The big benefits for each that I saw were:
Engineering:
Justicebringer 2000 Specs
Enchanting:
Enchant Ring - Healing Power
Jewelcrafting:
Kailee's Rose
Blood of Amber
Now, in comparing these, I'm having a hard time deciding which is better.
Enchanting - you can enchant 2 rings, so that would max +40 Healing over a non-Enchanter.
JC - you'd need 10 of the Kailee's Rose gems to give you +40 over a non-JC (since a non-JC could have Teardrop Crimson Spinel).
Engineering - the helm is really nice. The crit bonus is awesome. No MP5 though.....but the crit bonus is probably worth it.
So - here is how I formulated my question above:
"+39 spell crit rating" is the bonus on the Engineering helm and there is none on the other helms listed in the sticky.
"+10 Heal" is calculated from .... engineering helm gives you +101 healing. Most other helms are around +70 heal. So the engineering helm gives you about +30 heal over other helms (i.e. 101-70 ~ 30). Since enchanting can give you +40 heal, I just subtracted them (40-30=10). This is the bonus of enchanting over engineering.
"10MP5" is approx what any non-engineering helm (listed in sticky) can give you that the engineering helm doesn't have.
Confused yet?
I chose to ignore the + spell crit gem because my head was already spinning...
