Fine leather gloves is an easy-to-craft glove boe for glove reinforcements which will give 10stam/7int, magefist does not give these stats and magefist are expensive in comparison to fine leather gloves.

Minor speed increase gives 10% (not 8% like tooltip used to say) and stacks with cloak enchant. every other speed increase to boots enchant does not stack with cloak. Minor speed to boots are the only speed increase enchant that stacks with cloak enchant.
I see, thanks didn't knew this at all about the minor speed.

How does spider silk boots scale? to what amount of stats?
 
It's not entirely, but stacking intellect is the most viable thing rn. Just need a fair amount of stamina to back you up. Some crit won't hurt for those regrowths, but they're pretty low either way.

I'd still say that for the way I usually play rdruid in bg's, DPR wil be better than Lavish and Lorekeeper's- which happen to be my old alternatives.
My honorable friend is currently farming my 1 Rings ^^
 
Wouldn't the conspirator slippers or the merger boots not be better choice seeing those scale to 7/7/7?

Seeing that I'm alliance, those are out of the question. I'm not really inclined to pay for yet another faction xfer- I've funded too many twinks as of late ;)
My OTHER vet druid has them however, and I love them ^^

Oh yes, silly me :D

Just trying to get some info if I could improve my own druid :p

Just saw how my magefists scale 8 int 5 sta 7 spi, seems better for spellpower and mana regen (if that is even a thing lol) but not for stamina, I suppose thats personal preference.

The 1 Ring is not that good except for a hybrid-like build.

That's what I'd use them for. My current ring set-up is the best I can get without xferring- I'm using high stam pieces that also have int. The other current options have very poor stamina. I can survive a lot of burst, yet still heal a fairly decent amount compared to other healers. That's why I haven't lost a skirm yet (like that matters lol), but still not losing to teams like double 29 ferals with comms and double 29 BM's says something.
 
Not entirely sure how 13 int/13 stam is better than 9 int/13 stam/12 crit...

Speaking strictly from live logs of end-game raiding, I've seen end-game logs of people who have an extra 10% crit in a 10 minute fight that are constantly attacking. That extra 10% crit only gave them about 15 extra crits vs someone who had 10% less crit. Just because you have an extra 10% crit doesn't mean you are going to crit 10% more often; you just lessened bad RNG.

It's very arguable that an extra 2.12% crit is better than 3 intellect and it even looks good on your character sheet. I personally would go for realistic numbers rather than RNG. Especially since BoA's Scaling of crit get lowered the higher your level is. VS Intellect which never scales down and has no RNG and improves raw damage in melee dps.

Of course this is PvP; where RNG can determine the outcome of a fight. But then again we are trying to argue that Rdruids need that extra Crit over extra intellect. And since Rdruids scale like crap with their healing on spellpower % tooltips however, They scale beautifully with intellect since 1:1 int to AP. I could keep going...I am not a big fan of Crit unless it directly benefits specific abilities. (IE: Fury warriors get higher enrage uptime by stacking crit).

But you made this thread to hear thoughts on how the community felt about your druid. Hopefully my thoughts got across to you. Good looking rdruid.

The 1 Ring is not that good except for a hybrid-like build.

The 1 ring is horrible. However Argas set at 3stam6int.
The 1 ring is +4 to all stats.

Alliance has the short end of the stick when it comes to caster rings now that gloaming band is GF'd ):

Rdruids are not much of a healer class anymore. They are 100% Hybrid. In fact, they are basically a pure DPS spec now that can offheal.

Don't take me wrong, I love your input. I love all the input. I guess I prefer crit a little bit more because crits ha. With the bleed effect, my crit chance for bite is around 25%, which I find to be a decent %. I'll def look into getting some more INT into my set.

As for rings once again- would it really be worth dropping the 7 stam and 4 haste for a ring like Lavish?

Edit: I guess It's also worth mentioning that I have Black Widow Band- though I'm not entirely sure if the stam drop is REALLY worth it.

Black Widow Band and The 1 Ring? would 'look' cool but not sure. it would give you max AP in cat, along with some stam.

So I tested Rat Hair Vest, and it only scaled to 9/9. To my knowledge, the ilevel 10 chestpiece doesn't scale to 13/13. I guess I'll have to stick with BoA.

I think the only 13/13 chest is the Fallen Apprentice robes.
