Never use pure haste gems... 2 reckless ametrine > runed cardinal ruby + quick king's amber.<br /><br />If you're from the 'show me' state, download Hamlet's Treecalcs spreadsheet and run the number, it's worth the exercise. :)<br /><br />http://elitistjerks.com/f73/t77211-treecalcs_wrathcalcs_respecced/Flynx @ Frostwolf-USnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7812976357150095653.post-9145490644564346952010-04-12T17:03:18.422-04:002010-04-12T17:03:18.422-04:00One other issue to consider is this...which is bet...One other issue to consider is this...which is better...to cover a few people with a more powerful HoT or to cover many people with an average HoT? In terms of raid survivability, which is more valuable to you? As a "raid healer," I think it's more important for me to make sure my whole raid is covered. Running 25s with two druids who each can cover 15 people with rejuvs is pretty rad. Not to mention the sheer awesomeness of Trauma and Abacus and T10 4 set bonuses when so many rejuvs are up. Anywho...I'll stop jabbering now.

For instance, instead of going for T10 first, I went for those emblem and crafted pieces that gave me the most haste. My first choices were the Blessed Cenarion Boots, the Circle of Ossus, and the Spruce and Fir chest. (Forgive me for not having links.) With these pieces, I have reached my haste cap and have been able to replace all those darn haste gems. Now that I am haste capped, I can get all my pretty T10 gear and gem it for SP and be a very happy tree. =)Fohresttenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7812976357150095653.post-7445980702798419942010-04-12T11:56:15.904-04:002010-04-12T11:56:15.904-04:00It's just a depressing juggling act to stay at...It's just a depressing juggling act to stay at haste cap sometimes. Easier now, though, that I have a maxed alchemist and a maxed JC on other toons lol. Doesn't hurt so much to trade them out as circumstances change.<br /><br />oh and btw.... hi Bell =) /hug!Syllyhttp://www.rollinghots.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7812976357150095653.post-5287867020896272622010-04-12T11:04:12.187-04:002010-04-12T11:04:12.187-04:00When the Haste cap went up, i had no idea what i w...When the Haste cap went up, i had no idea what i wanted to do. So of course i gemmed haste, thinking i wasnt going to be seeing any new haste gear for a while (and i refeuse to go from 245 to 251....i just don't see the point) So i invested alot into Reckless Ametrine. Right now, My haste is at a nice 856....exactly where it needs to be.....And as i get new gear, i'm slowly regemming my gear back with just pure spell power or 12 sp 10 spirit gems. <br /><br />ATM My stats unbuffed is:<br />3008 Spell power (not adding the extra 100 or so for being in ToL form)<br />856 Haste<br />1307 Spirit<br />21.03% Crit<br />847 mp5 (444mp5 while casting)<br /><br />Now i know while raiding my stats go up drasticly, SP goes to 3800, spirit goes over 1500 & mp5 goes to 600 while casting<br /><br />But my whole point is too, that i feel like gemming the haste im not really feel like im losing the other stats and i dont feel a huge difference in my healing.<br /><br />I see other druids, they have close to 700 haste but they have over 3500 unbuffed spell power......now......500 spell power is yummy....but with out the haste, and not reaching the 1second GCD, I feel that the 500 sp is almost null because you cant get as much heals out as you normally would. So many druids i know are at a toss up.. They want the SP and dont care about the haste and there are some who want to make sure they get to the cap and then worry bout the rest......Im even straying away from the t10 4piece becasue its just not as desiarable as some of the other gear that randomly drops. (so far i have 2 pieces of t10 and the rest boss drops....and i still have my t9 legs! I cant bear to buy the 251 t10, and I really want to wait for the drop from festergut. I wish there was a magic answer, i think we all do.....but as of right now.....keep on healin <3Delleyntarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03186711935201442513noreply@blogger.com
