Adventures of a Dwarf Priest

After doing the dailies today I was looking at the AH.  I know I know  big mistake when you have 4k gold in your pocket.  I like to look for cheap patterns and whatever.   I always see the Swiftheal pattern up and thought I’d look at Shoulders.  You see I’m intending to break my Primal Mooncloth set bonus soon.  I really been working on getting a bit more rounded instead of just the huge healing numbers with no stamina and such.  I’m also looking to improve my spirit over mana/5 with the recent changes.

I’ve been looking at 2 possible robes, the Robes of Heavenly Purpose that drop from ZA, and the Gown of Spiritual Wonder which is a 2.4 Heroic Badge offering.  So I started looking at the Swiftheal Mantle as a possible alternative to the Primal Mooncloth Shoulders.  In the end there are not a lot of options for shoulders in general for a Priest, and a non raiding Priest has even less options.  Not counting the loss of the set bonus I loose 4 healing on the Swiftheal Mantle, but gain 210 health and the 1.71% of spell haste.  With my recently aquired Brooch of Nature’s Mercy it actually effects Flash Heal! lol  Yes I’m not a fan of Spell Haste.

Anyways that said I went ahead and made me a swiftheal mantle as it appeared to be my best option for the moment.  The parts were not that expensive I suppose if you think about it.  The mats are really easy actually.  I had to buy 2 Hearts of Darkness, they come from Black Temple and were 250g each.  Then I had to buy the pattern which also comes from the Black Temple and that was 225g.  So for 725g I got some decent shoulders.

They don’t look half bad either.  Perhaps my Figureprint would work out better with them!

Still now makes me debate as I went ahead and made them I’m breaking my set, so do I not get my Gavel of Naaru Blessings and get the Gown of Spiritual Wonder, or do I wait it out till I build up the 100 badges again. There is a very tempting staff that drops from the last boss of Heroic MgT Rod of the Blazing Light.  Must fight the urge to use a staff again!  Blizzard apparently wants us Priests to do that though
