What's a good enchant for gloves (resto)Follow

I'm looking at thotbot and I can't seem to find any new LK glove enchants for spellpower. Or I am not seeing it (I don't care for their format). Only an old BC one (though the mats are different and require infinite dust). 4 infinite dust 1 lesser cosmic essence for 28 sp. You'd think there would be a new and improved version. Only other thing maybe is the one for 16 crit strike rating. Seems kind of weak- and I"m not a big crit guy (I"m not a pally dammit :)).

edit: speaking of pallies, I bit the bullet and respecc'd. Sigh. I'm thinking of doing serious raiding, and frankly, my numbers in Naxx sucked ***. The druids blew me out of the water. Chain heal was not cutting it for healing numbers (did a decent job of keeping people alive I suppose). I can't compete with druids hot's. The hot's are so strong their health never goes down in order to use chain heal. I'm so used to be called a good healer and getting invites. But the guild I pugged with didn't seem too interested in me. I was #3 in healing :(. I guess I'll have to go with LHW spam. sigh. Dammit captain I'm a shaman, not a pally (ST reference there :)). I don't know any other way to get my healing numbers up.

Seriously get grid+clique or a simular addon!
Adjust them to your liking and watch your healers go up on overhealing.

I have outhealed healers that outgear me by atleast 200 sp and everything else up to par because my reaction time beats theirs.

Get macro's for every action u want to simplify. (NS+HW, NS+CH, earthshield focus or lasttarget)

my clique setup is:
leftclick-LHW
Shift leftclick-Riptide
rightclick-CH
Shift rightclick-HW
alt leftclick-cleanse
alt rightclick-NS+HW (instant)
F-redo earthshield on last target
shift F-mana tide
shift spacebar-mana potion
mousebutton4- tidal force(dunno if thats the correct name i mean the +crit CD)
mousebutton5-vent
alt F- heroism
and u get the drift everything within hands reach to reach the fastest possible reaction time!!!

If u react faster then your other healers your effictive healing will go up and im not talking about a few %.

Allot of my healers are overhealing allot because im that 0.2 sec faster then them.

(pre-casting and sometimes cancelling them)

What also is really important is managing your mana and possible have some extra mana boost items with you for fights like patch+kel thuzzad.

Focus a set on burst healing and a set on mp5.
>> Watch your mana @ fights and @ what % of mana the battle ends.<<

If im 30% and up (without haveing to use a pot or MT totem)ill have more spellpower the next time i do that fight. (I always want extra mana incase something screwes up)

So try using old/new items and focus them heavily on +spellpower (intellect is good 2 but i think spellpower is just a bit better so i mix in some intellect) and one on heavy mp5.

i started running with 250 mp5 (unbuffed) but now i feel its way to much for most fights and will leave me at 100% if i use mana tide on the end.
I must also say my tanks are almost fully 25 man geared and are great tanks who just started their own guild after being in one of our servers top guilds.

If only started healing a few weeks back but im almost always top2 healing and only have like 11% overhealing average and always top dispelling (if its poison, disease or curse).

Just started 25 man naxx healing myself and i noticed doing that little bit of extra work gets u to the top easily. (unless u have really pro healers but most arrent that pro that they gear for specific encounters)

i also dont think its necassary but if you want to be really good at your job then do it. (i mean if you are downing bosses u are doing what you are ment to do)

I like doing that little bit extra like on grobulus i position myself fast and dispell myself so i get back faster.

Hope this wall-o-text helps ^^ reaction time+good gearing+knowing the fights and precasting+(stopcasting sometimes) = WIN!!!

It doesn't matter how good your reaction time is. You'd have to be precogniscient to out-heal a CoH Priest or WG Druid that's sufficiently on their game. Even if you react a full second before they do, you still have to wait ~2.5 seconds to wind up a Chain Heal while they just hit a button and CoH/WG comes out instantly.

The only time I can outheal CoH Priests and WG Druids is when there is enough constant raid-wide damage that I can spam Chain Heal to my heart's content. But spot-raid-healing on trash and bosses with periodic AoE's... there's just no way. On overall runs with CoH Priests/WG Druids I usually place behind them whereas on runs without them I am almost always the top healer by a healthy 5-10%.

true. only reason it matters is getting into a good raiding guild. But you'd think a good guild wouldn't put that much stock in healing numbers.

My numbers weren't bad in 10 man VOA and obsidian. In fact, I was #1 (only ran with 2 healers- the other a priest). But he was mostly mt healing, so it's not too surprising I was #1.

You guys mentioned one thing above that I think is the cause. Mostly what I've seen in Naxx so far (haven't found a guild or pug that can full clear it yet lol) is pretty light party damage. Yes there is aoe damage, but it comes in waves. Then there's a break where there is no aoe damage. I don't remember BC raids being like that. I remember hyjal where everyone seemed to take damage consistantly. I could spam chain heal like there's no tomorrow. But naxx seems to send out a wave of aoe, and by the time you get everyone healed up to full, another one comes. Kinda like ZA where that guy does the shadow bolt volley (but that was much tougher than the naxx aoe damage lol)

Speaking of, I know some people don't like spamming chain heal, but I do :). I like the spell, and I feel it's what makes a shaman different from other healers. And yes I do realize I need to keep tidal waves up. Forgot to mention that. But I just don't like the idea of using lesser healing wave. But I guess I'll grow into it. I have to accept change.

edit: for the glove enchant I just went with the 28 sp one. There doesn't seem to be any 400+ (enchanting) spellpower enchants for gloves out there- or is there? I'm using the gloves from 25 man VOA. They are elemental- but have decent mp5 and good spellpower (hit is useless lol). but i dinged exalted with wrymrest today too- I got those gloves, but don't think I'll use it. It has more mp5, but mana hasn't been an issue. I mainly want to get my sp up.

I hit 80 just 2 days ago and PUGed a OS run as Resto, had about 1700 SP and must of been with a realy slow resto druid cos the hots didnt seem to be doing much to the MT. I never found my self strapped for mana even when spamming CL cos DPS were too close to the fire orb things.

Then I Healed my 1st heroic(pinnacle) and found i was going OOM very fast, even thouhg the tank didnt need much more topping off after my ES procs(Although there was a rogue who I swear was Emo, cos he must of been cutting him self with his own blades the amount of damage he was taking), but anyway, it does show taht even thoguh the HoTs didnt seem to be doing much they clearly played a big part in keeping the tank up if I only had to occasionally throw a Riptide on ihm.

TBH, I care more about Overhealing meters than I do healing done meters, cos as a resto shaman I would OH a lot at 70 with CH, it can't realy be helped though.
