Priest end-game stuff.

[BoddoZerg]

Generally, all + damage and + healing items increase your dps or heal per second by the amount listed divided by 3.5.

If you have +100 damage, there's no need to cast fireballs instead of scorches, as both will receive roughly a 28 dps increase.

Not really.

For one thing, the + to damage/healing occurs *before* talents are applied. So if you have a ton of talents, you are actually increasing your DPS/HPS considerably more.

Second, stacking a DoT(HoT) with other spells also makes the actual DPS/HPS increase considerably better.

Third, not all spells recieve a bonus equal to (cast time / 3.5). Channeling spells especially. For example, Mindflay has a casting time of 3.0, but it only recieves 43% of the +shadow bonus.


That said, Renew benefits an ungodly amount from +healing equipment. A priest with a lot of +healing gear will often rely on Renew as much as possible due to its supreme mana efficiency with +healing.
