WHM Melds

[Silver-Strider]

I say screw it and just mend Det before going into anything else.

Spell Speed and Crit are nice options ofc but in the grand scheme of things, I just prefer the consistent buff from Det.

Spell Speed is great cause it buffs up our DoTs/HoTs as well as allows for faster casting but it's always been a trait I've generally avoided on WHM just because, until recently, it was a huge MP drain and while WHM is no longer MP starved, I'm still cautious about putting too much into the stat.

Crit is a proc and while it is beautiful when it works, it's not something that you can ultimately rely on.

I usually go Det > Crit > Spell Speed but that's just me.

that trait is trash

it's a 20% chance AFTER whatever crit%, based on two spells (one which is rarely used and the other one you don't want to spam), to reduce cooldown of two OK abilities by a pitiful 5 seconds?

sometimes i wonder if i've gone through entire boss fights without it proccing once, and even if it did proc a few times, WOOP-DEE-DOO, what's 5-15 seconds in the grand scheme of things?

the trait reminds me of the original version of Plenary Indulgence, sometimes i wonder what the devs are thinking

Yup. Hence "if you care about that". It's overly complicated, exactly like PI was. Someone really wanted more RNG in their healing this expansion, and it fell flat.

Well MP is really not an issue at all. Having mana left when fight ends negate all your melding optimisation because those optimisation translated into mana left (more HPS = less healing required = more MP saved) on ur bar which is wasted. So i prefer spell speed melding than other stats
