I need a little objective advice...

I've been tossing around the idea of trading my http://wow.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?witem=31304;source=live

for

http://wow.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?witem=34671;source=live

But I'm just not convinced that it is an upgrade. Sure I would gain 160 hp, 195 mp, and some spirit. But I would lose 5 mp/5. The difference in +heal is slight. In a typical healing situation I'm really not getting hit that much so 160 hp isn't going to make a sizeable difference. Spirit isn't all that useful for Healadins. So I guess the question is: Is it really worth losing 5 mp/5 for 195 mp?

4o gold isn't all that much...but I still hate to waste it.

It depends - what is your current mana? If you are less thank 8k (assuming you're getting geared for Kara), then get it. If you are over that, then.....your call. Depends what you are trying to build up.

I'm sitting at 7850 mana. But I'm also at 72 mp/5 unbuffed. I should be able to break 8k mana once I get my newest gear enchanted and replace a couple of greens. I really am hesitant to slip under 70 mp/5 though.

Thanks for the advice YJMark, I think I'll hold off until I replace those greens (I need to pick up about 140 more +heal). Once I factor in the stats from those upgrades I will see if the SSO mace fills in any "holes". It just doesn't seem like a big enough upgrade at the moment for me to spend any $$ on it.

For what it's worth, my Healdin recently cracked exalted with SSO.

And I had the same toss-up as you do. Ultimately, I said "stuff it", kept the Essence Focusser, bought the plans for Hand of Eternity, farmed the mats, and am very happy right now ;-)

The mats for Hand of Eternity aren't *that* bad, 8 Primal might, 4 hardened adamantite, 10 eternium, 10 khorium, 4 primal nether (from memory). Considering (with the possible exception of PvP gear) that it (to my knowledge) won't see an upgrade until SSC or 150 badges... well worth it IMHO.

I think the mace from Maiden is an upgrade.

+22 Stamina
+31 healing
-1 MP5

Sound like an upgrade to me :)

Either way, glad you found a mace that you like. That is really the most important thing.
