Just curious about what everyone else thinks we should be gemming and reforging to this season. So far I'm starting to think that we'd go PvP Power > Resil > Spirit > Int > Mastery > Crit > Haste.

What do you guys think? I could be totally off here as I haven't tested things on the Beta so figured we'd have a discussion to work it out.

Planning on going all out resil/spirit, but I haven't read up or checked anything at all, so.

Resil. why would you get pvp power as resto? does that increase healing or something? i thought Pvp power only affected damage?

[melignent]

Pvp power increases healing done and damage done. i believe there was a topic already on this stating if you prioritize PVP Power over Int you get increased heals by 2.7%

I'm using 4 piece dreadful with conquest shoulders/4 piece contenders off pieces for the extra pvp power/resil. I'm also gemming all Willful gems in oranges/reds.

With freedom/bmasters here's my stats:

PvP Resilience: 59.44%(6,555 resil)
Spirit: 4852
Mastery: 59.45%(7091)

I prioritized like this: Resil > Spirit > Mastery > Crit > Haste

My personal chain is Pvp Power>Pvp Resi>Intellect>Spirit>Crit>Haste=Mastery

4 piece resto and the ele gloves because they give you spirit

If the pvp power change stays, im thinking something like int > resilience > spirit > pvp power > mastery > crit=haste.

Im still very unsure about haste/mastery/crit. Anyone got some useful inputs on this?

not sure there was a ''change'' even, it was not listed under hotfixes and appearently it may have been around since the beta.
I personally like crit>Haste=mastery because I do RBG aswell, and with the amount of burst damage going on crit is a reall good stat

Crit is what you want if you're having mana problems, 2% extra crit from reforges will help your mana quite a lot.
But if you're healing burst damage mostly, you should definitely get mastery instead of crit. Both haste and mastery are better if you want to maximize your healing done.

And from my very limited rbg experience sofar, I'd say a midfight doesnt last long enough for mana to become a problem. Unless you spam healing surge, but then you probably already lost the midfight.

Going to gem all resi and reforging for mastery.
To survive 100->0 deep, schokwave, hunt stun... It's quite mandatory I think...

I'm around 62% damage reduction and I have the feeling that it's not enough!
I'm around 55% mastery and keeping my mates up is easy as fuck even against BM/war team

[firebunny]

PvP power nerfed to 530 per % instead of the displayed 265 for healing.
Meaning pvp power gems only get better than int gems at around 28k spell power.
IE: not this season.
It is worth it to match the blue pvppower/int bonuses though.

[Menc]

Seems like Int is better then PvP Power atm, I regemmed and tested it and I'm getting about +500 on heals. Nothing huge but overall better.

Edit: I have found that with my current gear a balance of both Intellect and PvP Power is a bit better. Obviously once in full Malevolent gear things may change.

this + next season:

Int > pvp power > spirit = mastery > crit > haste

Very playstyle based. Haste seems to be worst at least. But myself, I gem crit to give healing surge as high crit chance as possible (45%~ atm). This provides burst healing, which we badly need, and a good mana return.

I tried mastery and felt little difference, going from like 45% to 58%, albeit this testing was limited to one evening.

[Korzul]

2-3 pure spirit gems (aim for 8k-8.2k spirit to feel comfortable with regen).
Rest as much resil as poss (making sure i get socket bonuses) given the way it scales and the need to stop gibs.

Reforges - Mastery to 50% then the rest to crit because i read on elitistjerks mastery starts to diminish significantly enough at around 45%-50% to make crit worthwhile.

Res>spirit>crit

[Nearz]

Go for all res. You'll see how fine it is.
