hi,

my question's the following:

I'm currently wondering whether to keep or ditch the 4/8 fol setbonus. On all encounters in swp, healing with flash doesn't really cut it, especially when you're a main tank healer. With all that spellhaste stacked + good mana regen, I think it might be more efficient w/o the 4piece setbonus, because apparently you gain much more than you lose, for instance if you go with KJ head instead of t6 - better socket bonus, more healing, more crit(+bonus), and +14 regen lul, and that sounds better than a 5% healing bonus to FoL.. If we take the math into consideration, if you heal for about 1800 with an average fol, with the 5% it would be 1890, and with what you can gain from another item for that slot it sounds like a waste.. So what do you think ?

cheers

I wouldn't use the sunwell shoulders over T6, because the upgrade from those is so tiny compared to 5% more FoL healing. Of course you don't use 4 Parts T6 on bosses like Brutallus, I would say that you shouldn't go for the 4 Part Bonus when you're sure that you won't use FoL on a fight. It's really situational, but Brutallus is pretty much the only fight where you never use FoL.

yep, FoL is still quite nice for the occasional raid heal now and then on some fights, only really Brut I dont use FoL at all, the stat upgrade from t6 shoulders to Twins is tiny, so best to drop those when you need 4 piece bonus.
