Another Spirit vs mana/5sec gear post. sigh. - 2005/08/04 03:37
This stems froma different post where i was talkign with foxx...figured i'd bring it to its own.
The basic deal behind spirit is
base regen of 17 mana /2 sec ( no matter the lvl)
and 1 spi = .25 mana regen per tick (or every 2 sec...OUT of 5 sec rule)
thus 4 spi = 1 mana regen / 2 sec tick
comparing spirit to mana per 5 gear is an interesting thing that I and another priest in my guild, Quk, talk about alot.
to "see" how much mana per 5 is when compared to spi try this.
say you have mindtap talisman trinket...11mana /5sec
how much is that per 2 sec?
11/5 = x/2
so x = 4.4 mana per 2 sec interval
which translates into...
4.4 mana x 4 = 17.6 Spirit
the key here though..is this essential "17.6 spirit" is constant...whether you are in the 5 sec rule or not...thus this will help you in decided what equip is a better path.
for me? always spirit (except on trinkets). Reason being..i have meditation, will soon have 3 trans pieces to make it 30% regen while casting...and I have one of those darkmoon card trinkets..that procs on a sucessful spell cast to give you 100% your normal regen for 15 sec (i.e. as if you were just sitting down not casting or fighting). Also having a dancing sliver staff with a +20 spi enchant on it...I can top off spi aroudn 370 self buffed. AS you can see tahts the route i went.
I also have a set of mana / 5 gear stuffed away in my bank in case i decide i want to use it...dire maul has some AMAZING stuff there i suggest you check it out ! mana per 5 gear is good when your stuck in the 5 sec rule chain casting for a long time (some boss fights if you are chain healing a tank with no rotation and break for mana).
