Piety discussion!

^ Gamex, you need a reality check.

hey im just calling it how i see it but for sure ill test again and repost results

I agree with you that mind is definitely a better stat then piety, and that putting all points in mind is more beneficial than a 15/15 split. More mind = stronger heals = less healing needed.

The difference in potency though is not as much as you say

But yeah, hopefully the servers will be up soon for testing ^.^

I always thought the regen was common knowledge with piety, but I guess not and probably why it's so underrated. It's a good secondary stat, and what I look for after DET. I wouldn't spend my stat points on it, but it's really good to add with materia.

I know it's pretty normal to say that WHM have a mana issue, I was one too, screaming for MP in turns 1 to 4. Then when I got drowned in loot, the moment I hit about 4600 MP I've never had an issue again. It's like the piety boost made it so I could up keep myself, my raid compliments me for not having mana issues when I havn't really changed anything but my MP getting higher.

MND stat builds are the bane of aggro if anything for WHM anyways, I find the extra PIE very helpful as heals are already very strong, consistency over inconsistency I say I think Piety will be the go to stat especially with PvP not having any on the gear and with the Cure2/3 and Medica 2 change More mana regen = the ability to buff more (Stoneskin, medica 2, Regen) on top of your standard healing toolkit. If you are pulling aggro too much, lay off the MND IMO.

In my opinion you don't need the extra MP as a SCH, as I've never run out of mana (neither on Titan nor on T1/T2).

Ofc, things might change on Primal EX // T4/T5 or even CT.

One thing to keep in mind though is, the higher the mind, the easier it gets to overheal (waste of mp and aggro). Perhaps going piety is a good thing for healers (whm?) that are still in DL or lower ???

As a WHM probably right, as a SCH you dont have that much of overheal :>

More mp allowers for more regen with passive and aetherflow which allows you to overpower content by using your bigger heals and dps while the shields last.

Piety is at least as, if not more important for SCH as it is for WHM.
If you already have the big heals, being able to throw more shileds etc. even when not needed just opens up way more playroom
