MoP: Ret vs. Holy?

[Take Shots]

Which will be the better performer in MoP? Im not sure if anyone has had the time or resources to test this on beta, but if anybody knows please share.

Thanks,
Atmosphere

Holy, simply because you run at 140% movement speed at all times.

 

[Beau]

We'll have to wait until the spells are released in the pre-patch to Mist of Pandaria.

 

[Kancer]

Both will always be viable, genius.

 

[Dorigon]

Yes, can anyone please go on beta to see which will be better come release?

 

[dartofblue]

Both are looking promising

Why do you always have a weird sig?

P.S Is that Pizza after he gets a KB?

sigh comparing ret to holy is like yeah not the best idea

could compare a holy pala to a priest or a ret pala to a warr

but yeah they have different roles so

Obviously you can, by comparing how well they perform in their respective role.

rets will also get a descent speed ability. Judgment your way to safety ftw.

I gather he is trying to figure out which spec is more viable.

Constant 140% movement speed (Persuit of Justice) is simply better than 145% for 3 seconds every 6 seconds (Long Arm of the Law). And since you want to use your holy power as ret you can't effectively use PoJ.

yes but i wouldnt say theres a better performer of the 2 which is what the op is looking for

and therefor its better to compare dps with dps and healer w healer if ur tryna find the better performer

140%? Am I missing something?

140%? Am I missing something?

100% movement speed (base movement speed) + 40% bonus = 140%

 

[Kaorinite]

Ah, PoJ gives an additional 10% baseline. I missed that part.
