I have a friend that wants to roll priest. He doesn't have the mace or book boa, but he has headmaster's Charge. What would be best? And if its not the staff, which weapons?
You realize "priest" doesn't let us know if he's going disc or shadow.
It really depends what level you intend to stay and what spec you're playing, I play discipline, it's definitely better going Lvl24+ because of divine aegis, I recommend the following stat priorities, for Lvl23 or Lower: Int/SP > Haste > Stam, and for Lvl24 to 29: Int/SP > Crit > Haste, give or take stamina for survival. The current BiS weapons for Lvl23 or Lower: [Devout Aurastone Hammer] / [ Musty Tome of the Lost] after next patch [Blessed Hammer of Grace] will be the new BiS, for Lvl24 to 29 [Dignified Headmasters Charge] would likely be the better choice because it better benefits your stat priority with crit.
It doesnt matter what lvl he plays as everything scales to the same ilvl in bgs.
Go 29 and use your staff for now and get mace in 6.1 =)
It's not a matter of scaling, it's a matter of what abilities you learn at different levels as I said above, it changes your stat priority. You wouldn't crit stack without divine aegis, but being 24 - 29 crit stacking is very beneficial but that also depends on the spec, regardless mace and off hand is BiS because of the offhand enchant and overall stats vs the staff.
