Druid heals...what am I missing?

I'm going heals, NOT flag-carrier. I plan on getting the pvp trinket once I get enough honor. I have the +9 stam Bracers only. I have two +9 Stam rings, two +9 Int rings, and two +5 Int/Stam rings to interchange.

I have mixed up the Int and Stam, so as far as gear I'm open to any suggestions/advice. Thanks for any help.

Neck: Overlord's Favor - Item - World of Warcraft

Chest, possibly enchant with Enchant Chest - Exceptional Mana - Spell - World of Warcraft depending on how you are for mana

Bracer: As you seem like a bit of a Gnomer fan, I would suggest Eagle cuffs over stam, with 15sp

The health you can get back from Heavy Borean Armor Kit - Item - World of Warcraft on unbound Hillman's Leather Gloves - Item - World of Warcraft, or
offensive hands, get Gloves of the Hero - Item - World of Warcraft with +10 Haste/16sp

Offhand: enchant with Enchant Off-Hand - Major Intellect - Spell - World of Warcraft

Heirloom movement trinket + AGM

I may be wrong thinking any of this is BIS, but all of those items are definitely worth getting to help you build some sets.

this link is to a haste guide for f2p's but since they scale up to lvl 24's in bgs the data is the same ( except for haste on pieces that scale)

the idea of having haste on a druid is to :

1) reduce gcd of ur spells
2) increase number of ticks u get with rejuve and swift mend and regrowth
3) just make ur spammed heals like regrowth faster in general

now heres the thing . DONT BLINDLY GEAR HASTE . you should aim for certain breakpoints described in this guide in particular. you can factor in procs from weps and lifeblood spell as well if u like.
so as [MENTION=21142]#Idiote[/MENTION] has linked his druid i will evaluate it just for shits.

we can see that his druid has 14.3 % haste base ( assuming armory shows correct stats)
this is decent but not 100% optimal . the first haste breakpoint is rejuv at 12.5 % and swift mend at 7%ish now to get the next tick of swift mend at 21% haste he would need quite a bit more .
ideally (ASUMING NO CD POPPING) he could sacrifice a bit of that haste to get closer to 12.5% and get a stat like int for more over all healing from the spell .

now heck if ur gearing for hitting a certain breakpoint with lifeblood up then go for it but thats just my opion.

so in general . use haste to get to certain breakpoints then stop if u can't get to the next or are sacrificing to much of other stats.

Well, since you took the time to evaluate my armory, I thought I'd explain why I gear that way since you seem misinformed. No offense, I originally shared your mindset. So, basically as a low level druid, you obviously want the extra tic from rejuv but you also want as-fast-as-possible heals as you can afford to get without sacrificing too much stm/spirit. Int/sp is of little value to a low level rdruid.

To reiterate, you have the correct mindset of an end game rdruid but at low levels you need to primarily gear for haste. The reason being: you're not trying to get one big heal off, rather, to keep your target up over several seconds from dipping 100 to zero every other global.

Take it from me, I'm an expert on this subject after many trial and error.

I was going from the standpoint of max healing done . I mean once you factor in bg's it's totaly up to preference and what comp your running and the other teaMs comp as well and frankly that's just like really where customization comes in . I mean heck if I'm not fcing I will be in my über fc haste set partly for Lols and partly cause swag >haste >spirit > crit > int > stam like if u can't win with swag are you realllyyyyy winning ?

I just now got the vibe that you were trolling me this whole entire time...which wouldn't surprise me as 80% of TI are trolls.

I feel like a fool for letting you pick my brain.

Ah, alright then. Well I hope you learned something new from my post. Haste is the superior stat for healing.

Yeah, he isn't fooling me. Whatever though, I have umpteen things to worry about. Don't have to put up with this charade.
