Need help to gear a whm

Hi, my main is a bard, and now i have finish spending my myth on him, so i'm going for whm as my second class, and have something about 1,5k myth to spend, would like suggestions on what could i get for him without fear of regretting later.

From my search on the forum i would say it is pants/boots/necklace
I'm right? or would u suggest something else?

Definitely pants (short shorts) since they drop from coil T5. They're also a pretty big upgrade over darklight. The piety/det combo is often considered the best secondary stats for whm although it's still a hot debate.

I usually go for the most expensive items first too so I get them out of the way, which pants and body are.

With the way I build my WHM I'd say pants/boots/belt myth. It's fairly easy to pick up the Head and gloves from T1/2 (still hoping for my chest to drop out of T4). I personally prefer to use the iLVL 70 HQ jewelry with the full assortment of stats. Having SS, Crit, DET, and HPs all at the same time is invaluable, its just expensive as all hell(I still haven't finished socketing everything). Having the extra HP's also helps if you have a newly geared/fresh 50 tank because there's a good chance you'll take a punch from time to time. In later raids it gives you the option of accepting a hit if it means you can finish casting a heal that saves the tank. In places like T4 it buys time for the offtank to peel the adds. If I had the Extra myth and continue to have no luck I'd pick up my chest piece but that's about it.

Also agreeing with the belt over the necklace. I like the belt because it's a 375 piece that gives you Mind and vitality by a good amount versus Rowena accessories that do not give any VIT.

(Start to approach having enough VIT to survive a late gaol break into Titan EX Tumults or Twintania Fireball).

For me, pants, boots, and belt are a must. That's with DET as your focus.

I'd say body if you aren't going to be getting the allagan robe from Turn 4 anytime soon.
You should be able to get the allagan circlet from Turn 2 without too much trouble. I've seen it 3 times out of 5 runs there.

If you don't have Zenith Thyrus get that first before the other Myth gears. If you do, then people here are correct. Get the pants first.

Yeah but the belt has crit (and less PIE than allagan). Ideally I'd only buy the +1 relic, pants, shoes and gloves - in roughly that order - if you could. The hat and chest are ok to buy if you need the upgrade (with Allagan pieces preferred because of DET) but all the hero's jewelry has crit on it.

Go for the Royal Sash from CT until you get allagan belt. Garuda healer ring rocks, so does the ifrit bangle. It also has more PIE on it than the hero belt.

tnk u all for advice's, since i got pants from ct im thing in to get boots, belt and necklace, about the relic +1, i was more attempting into get the primal one, but will rethink it.

Well, yeah the most important thing is the have the i90 weapon.
The Omnirod is good if you're lacking in PIE from the rest of your gear. And you get to spend 900 myth on other stuff. But, after you get some more pieces it's better to have the Det/SS that's on the +1 than the PIE. Once you're i85+ish you just don't have the mana issues so much any more, in my experience.

I would avoid spending myth on things you'll want to replace with allagan or primal unless you have to. The belt is something you'll want to replace with Allagan. You'll want to do that with all the accessories.
If you're really starving for Vit get melded accessories.

The boots are good. But get the gloves. And then get the hat, even though that's more myth short term it's better long-run. (I'd still consider getting the Pants, they're very good).

What you should buy depends on if you favor spell speed or determination, assuming you are looking to buy BiS first. You should be spending myth first and foremost on things you will never replace.

Myth SS BiS: Helm, Chest, Legs, Hands
Myth Det BiS: Legs, Hands

This is assuming you want to avoid crit rate, which is usually considered as the least desirable WHM secondary stat.

If you aren't sure which you want to gear for yet, legs and hands first are good ideas since they are BiS for both builds. From that, I would buy whichever gives you the biggest iLevel increase.

While Zenith isn't truly BiS, it is the best you can have before you get the turn 5 weapon. If you don't see that happening, it's a good idea to get that first. It's not necessary though. I upgraded out of DL armor first, and had no problem whatsoever healing to turn 5 with regular relic.

I love crit on my whm. I don't think I've ever pulled hate from a crit heal (aoe or otherwise), but it has definitely saved tanks on numerous occasions.
