New Spell Power Question?

[Pringle]

Makes me think I can still go primal mooncloth spec for my shadow priest and not feel like I'm wasting too much!

That's exactly what I did. In fact, the Primal Mooncloth set has more spell power than the Frozen Shadoweave set. Fortunately, I have both so all I had to do was go respec back to Primal Mooncloth. I still need to find a new pair of boots, QQ.

There will be changes in the gear choices, but it's rather subtle.
Some wants spirit heavy (seems like every going to have to care about spirit :S), some want mp5, some want crit and some want higher pure spellpower. There will be difference. Some people seem to think it will be lack of gear, it won't be. Loottable still holds as many items.

I solo heal with my pally tank in BGs for fun. Her healing has gone off the charts. While prot spec'd with 930 SP (down from 1600-1770 healing) I was critting flash of light for 4k and holy light for 9k. Before patch I was in the 2.5k range on flash and 6k range on holy light. Her tanking damage has gone up a ton as well since most of that gear is the same.

Oh I love the new blessing of sanctuary for boosting. Even with the downranking nerf I can spam rank 1 conscrate to gather mobs and I never run out of mana.

Yeah, I was just thinking that means an off spec should be able to heal regular 5 mans with no problem whatsoever. Maybe even a heroic or two depeneding on how good the gear is.
