3 Pair of boots - Which one for Disc?Follow

Greetings everyone.

I went into Naxx last night, and got two new boots, Saltarello Shoesand Sullen Cloth Boots. However, I'm also closing in on Wyrmrest exalted and then I can get these, Sandals of Crimson Fury. Which one would you choose? I'm including my armory too, armory.

Thanks for any eventual help :)

PS. Sorry for not linking via the allakhazam items like others do, I haven't figured out how to do that yet :(

EDIT: I followed your advices, and managed to bump up my crit to about 16 % crit unbuffed. Thanks for the help :)

Moz is dead on, your crit is definitely too low. I personally feel around 15% is a good target, Moz will say 20% but I like to have a little more haste in the mix than he does.

Yes, it does. Basically, every spell that heals and can crit counts as holy when measuring crits.



That's my reason as well. The only thing haste does in the end is speed up your casting speed. This is more useful to DPS because it allows them to throw more spells in the same time. It does help healers in one big way; that heal that would normally land 0,2 second too late will land with haste. It's just that imo that little advantage doesn't weigh up to having more Divine Aegis procs. On an average raid I have just one situation where say 10% haste would've caused a heal to land earlier and with that saved somebodies life. If at all. Crits that shield are *always* useful, regardless of when you get them.

That said, I'm not discarding haste. Raid healing as a disc priest basically means you'll be doing fast single target healing and that is one place where haste shines. And I'm not even going to start on PvP. In the end, it always comes back to what you feel would benefit you more, once you reach the point where you can at least call yourself a 'decent' healer.
