BiS HEP

Last Edited: 12 Aug 2010

"Best in Slot" List
Chosen from weighted values supplied from Draewind's Shaman HEP (Healing Equivalency Points) reports,
that were made using Shaman_HEP, for a study being done at the Shaman TheoryCrafting section of the Elitists Jerks Forum.

To best understand the Restoration Shaman and use the information contained here,
ALL Restoration Shamans should make themselves aware of the tremendous information resource
and most valuable reference work at the Shaman : Restoration section of the Elitists Jerks Forum.

*Note: The Stamina HEP value is an arbitrary value placed to take into account huge stamina bonuses in nearly equivalent items.
The EHPS value (Effective Heal Per Second = 1/ehps) is used in the evaluation of items with healing procs such as trinkets. EHPS is not used in the Wowhead "Best in Slot" pages.

Pawn will use the above values "in-game". It will add a score to each item's tooltip, from a predefined evaluation list of each item's statistics.
To use Pawn, evaluating gear based on the above weight scale, you would import the following string:

The Pawn values above assume the weighted scale values from the gems below.

Gems for the Restoration Shaman

Blue slots should always contain a Quick King's Amber, except for the one Energized Eye of Zul required to activate the Insightful Earthsiege Diamond. For gems with slot bonuses, the bonus value must be calculated using the HEP values to decide whether the bonus will be greater than simply using a Quick King's Amber. Spell Power is the HEP standard, so the HEP of 1 Spell Power will always equal 1 HEP, and a gem slot bonus of +7 Spell Power will always be equal to 7 HEP. The table below will give a HEP value for both the Reckless Ametrine and the Quick King's Amber. If the bonus (Spell Power) is greater than HEP difference between the two gems, then use the Reckless Ametrine to maintain the slot bonus. Otherwise, use the Quick King's Amber.

The Revitalizing Skyflare Diamond may be used if you use one of the "Solace" trinkets, and should be used if you have both the Solace of the Defeated and the Solace of the Defeated (ilvl 245 and ilvl 258). This will free up a blue gem slot to use a Quick King's Amber.
