Staff with spirit or Mp5?

[voidclown 0]

Hello

I'm obviously using [The Hammer of Grace] + [Brightly Glowing Stone] for healing.

In Dungeons i often switch to a Staff with 29 Spirit after healing people up to get some Mana back (5sec after casting a spell u get full value from Spirit).

Recently i got this Staff in DM:E with 8 Mp5 and i'm now wondering whats better. How much flat manaregen is 29 spirit?

 

Thanks

So basically, 1 point in spirit will increase your idle (5 seconds or more since last cast) regeneration every 5 seconds by 1/2 (0.5).

29 Spirit translates to 14,5 mp/5 for a druid out of the 5 sec rule. It also increases the amount that your innervate replenishes by 232 mana. If you skilled Inspiration, then you will keep 2,175 mp/5 while in the 5 sec rule.

I hope this helped with your decision :)

thanks for this information!

a priest in my guild told me it was 0.25 mp5 per spirit, is this just for priests or is it depending on the patch? i'm playing on zeth'kur (1.4 patch)

or is he just wrong?

 

the staff with 8 mp5 has 8 spirit ontop of it

with 0.25 the mp5 staff would be better

with your math, the spirit staff is better :D

For priests:

So basically, 1 point in spirit will increase your idle (5 seconds or more since last cast) regeneration every 5 seconds by 20/32 (0.625).

Therefore 29 Spirit translates for a priest to 18,125 mp/5 out of the 5 sec rule and 2,72 mp/5 while in the 5 sec rule.

Whats a little bit confusing, is the interval of ticks: mp/5 and spirit regen both ticks every 2 secs. If we want to compare 29 spirit (a) and 8 spirit and 8 mp/5 (b) to see the actual ticks inside and outside the 5 sec rule, we come to the following conlusion (Inspiration included).

(a)

inside 5 sec: 1,0875 mana per tick

outside 5 sec: 7,25 mana per tick

 

(b)

inside 5 sec: 3,5 mana per tick

outside 5 sec: 5,2 mana per tick

 

For a druid, the values would be slightly lower, especially for (a), due to the worse scaling with spirit (0,625 versus 0,5 mp/5 per 1 spirit).
