I have been looking at the new Druid Resto Tier 9.xx gear and thought it would be useful to know per item the gains for upgrading etc. Soooo I thought I would post it here for everyone

I am comparing;

• Conqueror’s Nightsong Regalia (8.5)
• Conqueror’s Malfurion’s Garb (9.0)
• Triumphant Malfurion’s Garb (9.25)
• Totally Triumphant Malfurion’s Garb (9.5)

Head Slot

Chest

Hands

Legs

Total

Set Bonus

Tier 8.x

(2) Set: Increases the healing done by your Swiftmend spell by 10%.
(4) Set: Your Rejuvenation spell also provides an instant heal for your target.

Tier 9.x

(2) Set: Increases the critical strike chance of your Nourish spell by 5%.
(4) Set: Your Rejuvenation ability now has a chance for its healing to be critical strikes.

Summary

Overall we have some big numbers although -1 Red slot could be a little annoying with some of the meta gem requirements.
I personally will be upgrading my Shoulder Slot first because I dont have the T8.5 for that, and then breaking my 4pc Bonus with Chest (maybe?) when on tank heals. I dont think that the T9.0 is worth the loss in set bonuses (unless you had enough to get a set).

On the set bonuses it’s clearly another push towards Nourish, the 4 piece is interesting in that we are loosing a tick but gaining a potential crit bonus per tick. I guess with all the other gear (and the +82 crit) it could be a good change.

I like that they are making us think about these things

Have a good week all
