EU+US Stam set for Druid

[Chainz]

haste reduces GCD which includes your hots and shapeshifts

Man that reduced gcd on forms and hots is so non existent that I'd rather want a little bit more chance of a crit after i hit 3,9/4% haste for 1.4 sec cast

Again, your BiS set will reduce your GCD by less than 1/30th of a sec, not sure if we all comprehend how miniature this is. Try starting a timer and stopping immediately after. You will hardly ever get less than 1/10th of a sec, and that's 3 times more than the amount we are talking about. Not trying to sell you on crit, just debunking the reduced GCD myth.

And you think 2.34% crit (1.17% heal) is a huge amount?

Cant it go down to 1.3 sec tho?

At least there is a chance you can notice it.

Cant it go down to 1.3 sec tho?

It can, but you will sacrifice too much vers for it to be meaningful.

Yes it can, but you're sacrificing too much for that goal.

So crit, haste and vers should be around the 10% mark i guess

What? No. Not for flag carrying. Max verse as much as you can. No specific number, but you'll end up around 15-20%? Then the last bit can be whatever between haste/crit. You'll eventually have <10% crit/haste as you switch to adaptable pieces.

Nah for normal set i meant

Ahhh. The biggest thing for a normal healing set is Int. Verse is still one of your best stats - but you don't need to focus on it to the exclusion of int. Basically get fang set, whatever other gear with verse as one of secondaries, and don't sweat what your haste/crit are at. There are no breakpoints to worry about (theres no magic number that jumps from 1.4s regrowth to 1.3s - you go from 1.4s to 1.38s to 1.36s etc as you get more haste, even if it only displays the first digit).

So drop the pieces things like sylvan cloak for something like cape of the brotherhood. You'll trade the extra verse for int/haste. Same for any other pieces without int (master engy goggles to green lens, etc).

I think my druid is in his healing set right now, which should give you a generic idea. I have various suffixes/enchants that could use tweaking. GFd shoulders should be heirlooms with 2int enchant. GFd weapon should be BG crate mace. GFd argas ring should be BG crate ring. Offhand should be BG crate. Head should prob be aurora. Wrist should be BG crate with an int or spellpower or stats enchant.

[doublepost=1533704778,1533669239][/doublepost]Now that I've actually logged on and looked - a haste rating of 22 reduces the GCD a full 0.1s at 19. So at depending on how many adaptable pieces you have and what GFd gear you've got, it might actually be significant.

Still the amounts of crit/haste are so low that it doesn't matter. But figured I'd give the 19 numbers so ppl can decide for themselves.

Nice! A haste rating of 22 is how much haste %?

Just under 7% I think? Not at home so I can't verify.
