FAQ:
Q). I don't have all the best gear. Does that make me a nub?
A). No it doesn't. It gives you something to work towards so you know where you are to be on top of your game.
Q). Is this gear the best for all situations.
A). No. There are situations where other gear options are prefered. What these options are is beyond the scope of this guide.
Q). What about the Set Bonuses?
A). It's a question of whether they're worth chasing. I personally think that that the 4 piece bonus isn't worth chasing, but the 2 piece bonus is easily attainable with good gear. The best two T8.5 pieces to have is the Head and Shoulders, even if you have to use the 10 man shoulders.
Q). Is there something I should know about these gear choices?
A). Yes. The healing style is for when you cast Holy Light, Holy Shock and Divine Plea a lot. If you're looking to use a Flash of Light Spamming style, look to hit the haste cap and then increase your spell power.
Q). Is there anything that I need to know with this guide?
A). One thing to be aware of. If you get all the best in slot gear, you're going to be 14 points above the soft haste cap for Flash of Light. It won't really matter too much since you'll be casting Holy Light more than anything. Just don't add any haste ;)
