Question on Tier synergy bonuses

By Nathrax, in Paladin

Hello,

I have a question that I can't seem to find the answer to, and I am hoping you guys can help me. I just discovered this site and i must say it have been very informative to me so far.

Due to my work schedule I can very rarely make my guild raids so most every week its off to the LFR.

I have the 4 piece T13 LFR set. My question is: is the bonus provided adequate enough to not buy the i397 valor point gear? what about a mix of the valor point gear and the 2 piece bonus? should I not even worry about the bonus and just try to get the BiS items that I can?

I know it may seem silly to some since it is the LFR and not all that difficult, but on those rare occasions when I do get to go with my guild I just want to make sure I have the best gear overall that I can.

Thanks in advance for any advice and help you can give me!

I am going to guess, based on the tags of the thread, that you are a Holy Paladin. I'll base my answer off that. If I'm wrong, feel free to specify your class.

The set bonuses from the tier set, especially the 4-part tier set bonus (+20% healing to Holy Radiance) are very good. Also, 3 of the tier items (shoulder, chest and hands) are ideally itemised for a Holy Paladin (spirit and haste), whereas the Valor gear is not (it has Crit or Mastery).

So, I think you will get the best set-up by using the following items:

Head: Glowing Wings of Hope (Valor points). Critical Strike Rating is better than Mastery Rating (which is what the tier head has).

Shoulder: Tier LFR

Chest: Tier LFR

Hands: Tier LFR

Legs: Tier LFR (no Valor equivalent).

If you want more specific advice or tips or anything, feel free to ask (and provide an armory link, too!)

P.S.: There's nothing wrong with wanting to perform well, no matter what the level you are raiding at is.

If you are unsure about gear but you don't have much time to research everything, trawl through class specific websites or elitist jerks it can be worth using a website that does it for you. Mr robot is pretty good (www.askmrrobot.com). It isn't perfect and there are better ways to deal with gear; but as a general guide it is pretty good. If you use 'relative rankings' rather than BiS it will tell you if something is an upgrade based on your currently equiped gear which is also pretty useful. Takes thinks like 2/4 piece bonuses into account. Make sure you log off in your pve gear though as it updates directly from armoury.

I would just like to add that the 4-set bonus got nerfed to +5% healing to Holy Radiance. This is a lot less good than it used to be, but I still think it's worth getting since holy radiance is used a lot in Dragon soul, especially in a 25-man raid.

Oh, so it has. That's weird, http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/item/78692 still mentions it as 20%. You'd think it would be reliable.

In my guild the paladin healers decided to give the tier tokens to all the other classes first, since the upgrade for them is quite small and other classes(priests, warlocks and retribution paladins) getting their 4-set bonus first would benefit the raid more. But I still think the 4-set LFR is better than the valor point items. The items given by Vlad are probably your best guess.

      By Tomseno
      Raid/Class Spots Are Open To Any Applicant If The Player Is The Right Fit
      A guild formed with an ambition for progression and a love for M+ we decided to make the move from Silvermoon Alliance and form a guild to take our focus to the next level, Cutting Edge in 10.1 being the next step.
      We believe in building a guild by recruit players of a similar goal and mentality whether it be for raiding or for push score in Mythic plus. We value loyalty, honesty and a positive attitude towards setbacks. Communication skills are an absolute must.
      Raid Schedule
      Wednesday 20:30-23:00 Sunday 20:30-23:00
      Current Progression
      9/9HC 5/9M
      What are we looking for recruitment wise?
      We're currently open to recruiting DPS classes listed above, as we aim to solidify a stable 25-player roster. We're looking to provide competition to existing members and choose the best 25 players to proceed with for next tier.
      Contact Information:
      Discord; tomsen and lora1506
      Think you'd be a good fit?
      If you believe that you are a player that is looking to achieve the same goals as us then why not contact us and see if we can achieve our goals together!

      49 Paladin twink, best hybrid spec?
      By Gnub
      Been playing as 29/11/0 so far, extra crit heals is obviously good for keeping my team alive.
       
      However, I never go OOM, so I want to get some more burst damage. What is the best way to make a hybrid paladin? 
      Holy shock with spell power? I want to do burst damage when my heals get interrupted, so holy shock might be bad.
       
      7 Prot is the bare minimum for me, Imp Freedom is so strong.
      18 Prot is also very strong, extra stuns together with grenades is powerful for BGs.
      25 Prot for reckoning might be the best burst damage available, you could even heal with a 2hander. But this requires alot of investment and SETUP.
       
      How good is SoC for a 1hander? Spell power gear? Maybe using Thrash Blade to do melee damage while healing geared.
       
      What kind of gear? Spell power or strength?

      [Hyjal] [H] <Fun is for Casuals> - AotC Guild LF Ranged DPS & MW/H Pally
      By Skaboy
      <Fun is for Casuals> is a serious but casual horde guild on US-Hyjal. We are serious about raiding without the intense hours. Even when recruitment status is none, we will accept exceptional applications for all classes. For a full list of what we're looking for check out https://funisforcasuals.enjin.com . 
      Our raid times are Tuesday and Thursday from 5:00PM to 8:00PM server (PST) with raid invitations sent out a few minutes prior to that.

      We're interested in you if you fit the following criteria:
      Raid attendance is essential. We don't want people sitting on the bench but we also want to make sure we're raiding 6 hours per week. We expect you to be available for at least 90% of our raids. Be on time and prepared for raids. This includes flasks and other consumables. Discord is mandatory and a working mic is desired. You're appropriately geared for our current content. Effort and thought have been put into your gear/gem/enchant choices. You wouldn't show up for a job interview looking like a scrub, why would you apply to a guild with improper gems or some insane spec? You're up to date with your class. We expect our raiders to perform to the best of their abilities. You have a computer that's not run with hamster power or requires a hand crank. Some encounters are taxing on a computer's resources so if your toon can't even handle Orgrimmar it's not likely to do well with 20+ whelps that need AOE'ing.
      You may be interested in us because:
      <Fun is for Casuals> uses the personal loot system. There is no loot council, or DKP. We won't eat your babies the first time you stand in something you have no business being in. Repeatedly do it and we'll break out the bibs and BBQ sauce. We provide a limited amount of consumables and flasks on hard mode raid nights. Discord isn't a circus during raids. We're focused on the job at hand and you should be too. We don't want someone to miss a an interrupt because they were distracted by fart jokes. We are not interested in you if you fit the following criteria:
      You roll on BoE items then sell them. Unwilling/unable to spend an entire evening on one boss during progression. While this is rare, it can happen. Drama queens. If you have a problem bring it up to E. This is his job. Don't announce it in guild chat or during a raid. Your issue will have nothing to do with 99% of the guild. You are 17 or younger. We try to keep guild and discord chat PG-13 but occasionally a few four letter words appear out of nowhere. Additionally, we don't want someone's mom interrupting their raiding to get homework or the dishes done. Follow the instructions at https://funisforcasuals.enjin.com/ under the Recruitment tab if you would like to apply.
      If you have any question, feel free to contact E. at DbD#1309
