This is a sweet ring. Also, is it just an error that it doesnt say unique?

Comment by 20072

30 spell haste rating = 2.86% haste.

Spell Haste is getting a buff in patch 2.2 from 21 to 15.7 haste rating contributing to a 1% reduction in casting times.

Passive ability value:

2.1 = 1.43...% reduction in casting time @ 70.

2.2 = 1.91% reduction in casting time @ 70

By far the best healing ring currently available from a drop. However, for example a Paladin, who is constantly using Flash of Light the haste will be effective, but will also be slightly 'restricted' due to global cooldown, although its very nice for landing quicker Holy Lights or Healing Waves etc.

Also, although the Ring isn't unique, it would pair very well with the healing ring from Mount Hyjal, which also has a proc which increases healing: https://www.wowhead.com/cata/item=29309

Why is this so good?

As far as I can see its the only trash drop in BT with a 151 item level, which means that its equivalent to Archimonde and Illidan loot even though you can get it before you kill a single boss in BT. Doesn't make much sense.
edit: just checked and other trash drop rings also have a 151 item level, so I guess it is intentional.

You may want to check Band of Lucent Beams as well. Better stats and mana regen, but a bit less haste rating.

I just got this ring and I love it. It is very nice that it has both mp5 and spell haste since a lot of gear doesn't have both. Was the first one to drop for my guild and I no other healer bid the max dkp so I got it despite being way in the negative. It goes really well with the rep ring from Hyjal.

It's mentioned on the EJ forums that these are the best healing rings available at the 141 ilvl + range without buying the breathtakingly expensive Ring of Flowing life .

Signet of the Quiet Forest is a 141 ilvl ring, so obviously out of the question. Still good to grab if you arent in sunwell and have problems landing that second Band.

Band of Lucent Beams a sunwell drop, at ilvl 154 this beats the band in raw stats. The higher stam/int/mp5 is just soaking up that 0.5% haste though. As well as being unique, most healers prefer the bands if they can get their fingers in them.

AND

Band of the Eternal Restorer , of course. there is alot of speculation over this ring, some say they love it, some say they're just waiting for "XXX" to drop to replace it. EJ busted out the numbers to be something like an average +40 healing or so. So if ya stack heal ya might like it. I prefer the constant haste hands down though.

Caster dps will likely be all over this former healing ring now with the new spellpower changes. The equivalent BT trash ring for caster dps used to be Ring of Ancient Knowledge which when compared to this is:

+10 stam
+1 haste
-6 mp5

I'm sure the stam would be nice for survival but that mp5 for mere cost of 1 haste rating seems a bit too tempting for a lot of caster dps to overlook.

On the flipside... as a healer, this ring is still much better than Ring of Ancient Knowledge.

(First comment:)

Wow, not even unique o.o you could have 2 of these if you're lucky enough, or if you raid all the time :p

Ring x2 =

+40 stam
+40 int (yay crit chance)
-2.8% spell casting time
+146 healing
+12mp5

Obviously a healing ring. I don't think any specific class really needs this over any other. Classes that benifit from spirit may want to look into +spirit rings. If anything, I think it's a good resto shammy ring, since they need mp5 and int either way, though the casting time will arguably cause them to burn mana faster than regular. Perhaps a class that makes best use of reducing mana-cost for heals will use these rings the most.

What say yee, thottbot community?

Comment by Thottbot

yeah this ring is very very nice for any healer... though to be perfectly honest i would prefer the one from Lady Vashj being that it has more spirit (i as a holy priest) if anything i would say it benifites more the shamies and paladins being it that thier heals are based on cast time entire unlike priests that get prayer of mending, renew bubble ect and druids that get HoTs... But looking at the rings my priest is using now i would kill for this lol

Comment by Thottbot

Speaking as a Paladin, this would be quite useful as my healing strategy mainly involves trying to keep people healed with the faster and more efficient Flash of Light and avoiding swapping to the more mana expensive Holy Light to catch up. Being able to cast Flash of Light even faster means less need to switch to Holy Light, and thus my mana will last longer by avoiding inefficiency.

Comment by Thottbot

Well I got that ring last week on my Paladin.

Added to the 4 piece Tier 5 Paladin which is "Reduces the casting time of Holy Light by 0.25 seconds" and the Talent that reduces the casting time of Holy light, I cast Holy light for 1.72 seconds, which is in my opinion overpowered even though it costs a lot of mana.

In Arena though, I use this ring and 4 piece tier 5, added to bloodlust, my Holy light casts for 1.30 seconds, which usually is quick enough to keep anyone alive even if 5 people are focusing him.

I think this must be one of the best rings in WoW for healers it's unstoppable benefits and yes imagine 2 of these babies you could be best healer around.

Comment by Thottbot

Exalted with ashtongue no drop...

Word to the wise, if you have dkp save it for this ring because you'll be lucky to see it drop a few times, if ever before next x-pac

P.S. This ring is better than Hyjal rep ring hands down

Comment by Thottbot

You can say that alot many many pieces of gear that people still are drooling for. To be honest, one item won't make you a better healer. 5 maybe, but not 1. So you can't really think like that because it's when it adds up that it matters.
