A few questions. (I know, I know)



The sacred burial trousers. What's the point? 4 spellpower doesn't seem like its enough to make it worth grinding out at level 19, or using over the darkweave breeches, or a green of healing piece that'd have more spellpower anyway. For comparison: http://www.wowhead.com/?compare=6282;12987



Is the engineer's cloak worth going for (5 stam 2 intel quest at level 16.)?



In light of rip's advice in the other thread, maybe take off the robe of evocation and the dignified headmaster's charge.



And greenweave bracers with straight 4 stamina might be worth adding.





Edit: One more question I thought of: How good is haste rating for a priest? You have it on a trinket and a glove enchant, but we cast mostly instants. Worth getting?



Thanks.

Mm, that's a personal call. I say the Sacred burial are better, but that's your choice.

Couldn't hurt. If you're willing to give up sp and hit rating for 3 stats, be my guest. :p

Forgot about those, ty.

Haste rating on a priest... not so much. Like you said, a lot of your spells are instant and you'll constantly be on the run. Haste rating won't help you much. I really just put them on there for cheap priests, I guess I should take those off too.
 
Haha I didn't know that your whispers ingame would be quoted as "Rip's Official Advice" in a guide lol.
 
Lol, Cyclone? I thought we were friends duckhunt...
 
Good point about the spidersilk drape, I was comparing the engineer cloak with the tranquillien cloak.



Can you explain about the cloak enchants? Dodge rating only works on melee, from the front, when you don't have a cast bar, and resists are, well, crap. I thought.



I would have guessed armor would be best in slot. Why those two?



Also the first two would seem to have minimal effect vs. hunters, while armor would have a small effect.
 
I'll try to explain my thinking about the pants thing, just for anyone reading. It does come down to a personal choice.



Wearing the sacred burial trousers over the breeches gives you 3 spirit and 4 spell power at the cost of 4 armor (taking into account armor kits), 4 stamina and 2 intel.



Getting the pants in the first place has the opportunity cost of 3/4 of your level 19 xp bar, minimum (No kill or exploration xp).



You wouldn't do this for a stamina set or an intel set, obviously, and for a spellpower set you'd be better off with a 9 spellpower green.



So this leaves a balanced set. In a balanced set, there are other places to trade stamina/intel for spellpower. The first being enchants, or boe gear switches. These places might not have such a good trade-off ratio, however, which is why it is a personal choice.



So, I was thinking if I wanted more spellpower (I'm ignoring the spirit and armor for now, because my understanding is the benefit of 3 spirit/4 armor isn't worth factoring in), I'd change my gear elsewhere, and not have to spend so much xp at my final level.



Sorry for the small wall of text, especially from one as inexperienced as I. This has been on my mind.
 
You've missed some of the more esoteric gear...Mainly the spirit stuff :)



Ornate Tigerseye Necklace: Spirit has taken a hit, but as you run across the field while switching from offense/defense, a strong spirit set is still your best option to recover mana.

Voodoo Mantle: Once again, this are strong and easily obtainable shoulders.

Sporid Cape: Huzzah, spirit!

Engineer's Cloak: Much like the Tranquillien Cloak, but debatably a better starting cloak.

[For enchants, you mustn't forget +70 Armor, +10 Shadow, or +10 Nature resists!]

Corsair's Overshirt, +4 stats: spirit, read above

Haliscan Jacket, +6mp5: Haliscan Jacket is great, and mp5 is too.

Robe of the Moccasin and Bloody Apron are usable, but...barely.



There are a lot of bracer options: -5/9, 2/2, 4/0, 0/4, crystalline, and +5 Spell. My personal favorites are full out SP and Crystalline with +4mp5. It's also

worthy to note that for optimum Spirit, get Mindthrust with +spirit ;)



For legs, it's definitely important to note +9 Spell pants.



Rings: pre-3.0, Black Pearl Ring was one of my favorite rings, spirit set or no. Now it's only good for hardcore-spirit, coupled with Band of Purification. If you need some hit rating, drop on a Simple Pearl Ring.



Staff of the Friar, by the way, is not optimum for spirit if you have a large amount of it - it is in fact better to use Crescent Staff. SotF is still very useful, though, to switch in during combat and such in arenas and WSG. BoAs are stupidgood, now, so I can't really say much more about weapons.



Mmmmmm. I think that's about all I can think of right now.

Just dropping this in here.



The minor recombobulator. Is it much good if you can dispel polymorph anyway? Can you use it for free health/mana any time you want, or do you have to dispel for it?



Edit: If you did take it off, and the swift hand of justice, it would leave only the pvp one and the dreaded agm. You could add the spellpower boa trinket, I guess.
 
You can use it when ever you want for the health/mana gain AND (last time I checked a long long time ago) it's effected by sp. A priest used one on me once and it crit for 900!

HMmmMMMmm... Maybe I will add a spirit set? 0.- Just maybe. Cresent staff over friar? I'm not sure about that.
 
Thanks.



I just realized in my first post I suggested you remove the dignified headmaster's charge, but the hit rating staff is the other one.



The other one has crit though. Oh well.

Haha, yeah I discovered it while crunching a lot of numbers trying to find the ideal Spirit set. The trick is finding the right balance between Int and Spirit to provide maximum points. -IF- you're decked out in a full spirit set (which I'm hoping to write about soon), the 7 int + 7 spir from crescent staff outweighs the 11 spir/3int from the Friar. Unfortunately, I deleted my calculations when I quit >.< Basically, it's important to maintain bot a high Int and Spirit, since the formula varies directly with the squareroot of your int. I'll get more into it later...After SATs >_>



EDIT: While IN combat/arena, it's more useful to swap into Staff of the Friar if you're in a 'balanced' set of gear. Crescent Staff is for pros only (read:richbastards)
 
Would [item]Screecher Belt[/item] be a decent option for a priest?



Edit: No, because that belt is leather and Priests are squishy clothies. Don't post to forums after drinking binge, it's like drunk dialing only archived on the internet. :(
 
just curious if [ITEM]6631[/ITEM] would be good as a spirit stick because I think its the highest spirit available on a 2h'er but it lacks int and stam so would it be worth it?
