Need WHM gear advice for TURN 9

[ispano]

Astral Bracelet and 2 Astral Rings. They can take up to 9 VIT each, but I just left them at 8 since I didn't need more, and just put some Piety and other stuff I had laying around on them. But being a Scholar, I have most of the left hand Daystar pieces already.

Most of our healers respec'd to 30 VIT or 20 VIT/10 MND. We also had some of us equip a right-side tank piece. That should bring you to >5000 with food and the VIT buff. Like ispano said, once you're more familiar with the fight you'll be able to dial back how much VIT you have.

And remember, it's around 5.3k EHP, not HP. That means you're taking stoneskin and galvanize into the equation as well.

How's their gear equips? All i100-115?
And haha ! Wait till the ppl who go crazy with 30mind vs 30vit etc stumble upon this. How's the healing going?
Not so bad right?
Also haha lol equiping tank accessories, i like tht.

Considering when BG beat T9, no, they were not likely all 100-115. And yes, using Tank pieces also works. While T9 is healing intensive, it's not enough that you can't lose some mind for vit, especially when learning.

Those are skilled healers though unlike others who spam medica 2 and call themselves good healers and make fun of their tanks.

For ilvl, courtesy of Cortana:
"Combined ilvl is 95.875...

Personally I was 94 when Group 2 beat it.

The fight is really about coordination and execution. For healing, you need to be able to know when certain hard-hitting attacks are coming and deal with them accordingly. That means using stoneskin, adlo, succor, pre-HoTing, and so on. Understand when you need to use what and it becomes much easier to deal with.

Yeah lol those damage mitigation spells work wonders :0
Back then i never understood the whole point of stoneskin till i read the small text of 18%.
I was like woah that's like another 1000 hp or so to shield me.
Also how low would u think mind can drop to? Like the bare minimum if there's no other choice because of current gear?

How "low you can go" is going to be determined by how you, your co-healer, and your tanks handle damage and cooldowns. Try to set up an eye for an eye rotation for near-constant 10% damage mitigation and a virus rotation to deal with the stronger attacks. Like I said before, it's less of a gear check and more of how well you execute.
