Veteran Priest Gearing Guide

NOTE: You have to trade leggings and shoulders to a high level character for them to be applied to the heirloom. Or just create them on that character and send them to your twink.
Does this imply that you're able to trade all heirlooms? To anybody?
If so, does that mean somebody with DPR could trade/give one to somebody who doesn't have one? Unlocking the heirloom in their tab?
 
Check the edit. I'm on my cell phone, auto correct is a bitch.

Gloaming Band, scales 6/7.

Versatility is really only useful for arenas. In WSG, would you rather have an extra 200 healing per heal or would you rather get off another heal for 800 in that time frame.

Crit is useless without Divine Aegis.

Gloam Band is grandfathered. I see how haste would be better purely healing wise but the increase to damage and decrease to damage taken seem to out weigh the extra healing.

No. I'm saying that as a low level toon you won't be able to apply those item enhancements to the heirloom so you will need to trade it to a higher level toon on a linked account etc.

for versatility vs haste, given the numbers 14% inrease for versatility vs 1.3s/1.1s=18% increase for haste. but then there is the 7% less damage taken from versatility. so healing others haste is better, healing yourself versatility is better. but it really seems quite equal to me. just personal preference not that there is an absolute best stat to go for

I understand that the high level needs to apply the enchant to said items. I'm curious if you're physically trading the heirlooms to a high level/different character's bags, or if they're just applying it through the trade window.

Edit: Forgive me if these questions are derailing your thread, but wouldn't it be amazing if you could trade DPR to anybody?? Free heirloom rings for all!

No he's talking about since veteran accounts don't have mailbox he will have to log into an account that is an active p2p account on the same battle.net account and trade the enchanted heirloom from that character to his veteran twink.

what lol? How are you trading yourself on a vet account? you can't trade. You need to do this before gametime runs up. you just mail the item back and forth or just make one on that toon and send it enchanted to your twink.
 
Ok. Let me put it this way..

Say you have 2 vet 20's side by side.

They both have an active subscription.

Neither of them are linked together in any way.

One has DPR. The other does not.

Are you able to trade DPR (or any heirloom for that matter), to the vet without DPR?

Allowing them to unlock the heirloom in their tab, or at least equip it?

I doubt this is the case, but just thought I'd ask.

Ofc not. DPR is account BOUND.

Versatility is pvp power and resilience in one stat. You could get roughly the same damage reduction in past expansions with resil. Wasn't that good then, still ain't that good.

And in regards to mage fist not being the best, how can you argue 9 Stam vs 5sp, not to mention spirit becomes more valuable as your haste % increases

To further elaborate Baumbart's statement, DPR in that situation can't be mailed between those two characters because

DPR, like all heirlooms (specifically bind-to-battle.net-account heirlooms), are bound to the battle.net-account in question. Hence linked F2Ps can get guild heirlooms through the tab without subbing the F2P account itself [though resubbing the P2P to add them to the tab is necessary], since the linked F2P and P2P, by definition of linked, are under the same battle.net account.

In summary, both active subscriptions need to be under the same battle.net account, or linked, in order to mail/trade-each-other those bound-to-battle.net-account heirlooms.

Thanks OP for getting the ball rolling with a veteran guide. Those who are correcting you didn't take that initiative. Please do offer math when arguing stat priority so it can be judged fact rather than opinion. X vs Y; pros and cons are ideal!

For those considering or planning more guides, please keep an open mind for criticism in order to achieve the highest quality for your effort.

1 int 1 stam > 4 spirit? Who cares about spirit tbh.
 
For the time being, I'm looking at this thread as a suggestion and a conversation for input, rather than a full-blown guide. Link, if that changes and you would like this to be considered a full-on guide (as some other people are writing), then let me know and we can get this moved to the Submitted Guides section.
 
and regen was literally not compelling

Whatever, you do you boo, but I'm not going to sit here and argue with you. You obviously think you know what's best even though I've been playing priest since tbc but it's all good idk what I'm talking about stay small pzlate squidward
 
Kinachie or w/e his name is decided Veterans are F2P. As a moderator to have such strong opinion in something rly hurt this section of the forum and the bracket.
It was Blizzard who decided that expired accounts became trials. Not Kincaide. He just did the one right thing to do and placed trials with trials and f2p with f2p. It is not fair to blame him for this.


Also going for haste, versa, crit is personal preference. All these fights about that... geesh.

Thank you for the vote of confidence, but technically I haven't done anything. The staff is discussing how to rebrand the whole 20-29 variety pack so as to make it less contentious, but whatever changes we make, it should only be taken as an issue of how to make information more organized and accessible, NOT a statement on personal or group identity which will always be an individual's personal choice.
