What's better for whm?

[Blazers]

After this week bard will finally be done with myth so I can spend on whm. My question is about accessories. I wasn't a big fan of darklight accessories so I bought the ilv 70 crafted. I don't really do coil right now so those pieces are out of reach.

Stats on crafted bracer, neck, earring, ring (only 1 ring for comparison as I would be wearing 1 astral with heroes, currently wearing 2 astral right now)

Mind - 36
Accuracy - 21
Spell Speed - 42
Vitality - 32
Crit Hit - 33
Piety - 18
Determination - 32

vs.

Heroes set for bracer, neck, ring, earring

Mind - 52
Accuracy - 0
Spell Speed - 0
Vitality - 0
Crit Hit - 54
Piety - 40
Determination - 0

So essentially:

16 mind, 21 Crit, 22 Piety from heroes

vs.

42 spell speed, 32 determination, 21 accuracy, 32 vitality

What is better? I'd really like to put myth into the gear for whm as I have a mixture of DL and CT pieces with no ilv 90 on the left side. I'm sure the heroes edges out the crafted a bit with the mind boost but I feel like the jump from DL to myth gear is way bigger.

Any insight is appreciated! Thanks

i always take the ss/det/vit on crafted stuff cos i dont really care if my heal does 1000 or 1020, but have the myth gear in my armory chest just for those partyfinder groups that want i85+

Accessories for WHM suck. We are not a Crit Build..yes crit heals are nice. Love when I can crit for 3500hp its wonderful...but we're not a crit build.

Spend your Myth Tomes are your other gear. Pants, Boots, gloves. Depends on how far into Coil you're getting. I recommend doing at least ring and maybe wrist with Astral. Cap it for HP, that'll give you the boost you need for later turns. If you don't have at least 4000+ unbuffed healing T5 is going to be brutal.

I have Vanya Hat because I haven't had any luck with allagan.

Det or SS? Different schools of thought. I don't personally know if one is actually better than the other. BUT what i do know for sure is one item with SS isn't going to help. You either need to stack it or nothing. Determination will give you bigger heals, by a little but can make a difference stacked. SS can make you heal faster, not as much but faster, if stacked.

Pick for play style. You a clutch healer or a big BAM healer.

Fill out your left side first with myth/allegan, then you can worry about your accessories, which should be last to be upgraded. Early in my coil days, I had DL/crafted leftside, vanya head+body, DL hands+belt, myth legs+feet, with relic+1 and cleared up to T4 with no problems.

As for the other stats, mind usually triumphs any other stat, and any other secondary stat is up to you as it really doesn't matter whether you build for crit/det/ss. Peity is very useful though, by stacking that you will notice a huge difference in managing your mp. With 4200mp on T4 I was usually crying for ballad around p4, but with 4600mp I don't run out of mana.

Yeah, Myth accs aren't really worth all that much to WHM while most of the left hand stuff is pretty good.

Especially the pants.

So essentially:

16 mind, 21 Crit, 22 Piety from heroes

vs.

42 spell speed, 32 determination, 21 accuracy, 32 vitality

Roughly speaking...
1 MND = 1 more HP healed
4 Det = 1 more HP healed
1 PIE = 7 MP
1 VIT = 15 HP
15 crit = 1% crit rate
And ~130 spell speed drops my Cure cast time by 0.1 sec and recast by 0.13 sec.

So essentially, the heroes accessories would give you about 150 more MP and inflate your average iLv.
Whereas the crafted pieces would give you around 480 more HP.
The rest of the differences are pretty small.
