Fellow WHMs: Hive Cane or Eso?

I guess my question really boils down to what stats are better for WHM? SS and Det, or Crit and Pie?

I'm really leaning toward SS and Det.

I think the 80 det on the Hive cane makes it pretty much equal to the Eso cane. If I bought the Eso cane it would be for the piety upgrade. You're not gonna see much of a difference in healing with 2 weapon damage upgrade.

I find stacking as much PIE as possible is more helpful than most other things. The benefit from DET is marginal at best CRIT is random but can be useful. SS eh still not sure this does much ultimately but helps a little. A SS buff from food is just easier to use so you can have other stats on your weapon but if you have the Hive Cane and want to use it you can probably do just fine if you'd prefer to go for other upgrades first. If yo don't have Hive Cane just get the Esoterics cane now.

I personally have had more use out of Pie and Crit.

It is personal preference, what works for you? My personal preference is Piety, Det, Crit. SS appeal is dying in my opinion now with AE instant heal, our instant Cure 2, Swift Cast insert heal here.. I've not seen anything that I can't heal fast enough on with our new skills.
