Very nice mace.

When casting a flash heal (1.5 second cast) on a target under 50% health, this mace effectively has +400 healing.

Talk about an amazing healing item.

Probably the best healing weapon currently in the game considering the +healing and the additional 180-220 is nice too.

Comment by 9431

I think the confusion on this mace is that its NOT + or "up to" 953 healing when your target is below 50%. It's "up to" 486 plus 180 to 220 extra. The extra healing is not "up to" 180-220 and is a set amount received, making this far better than some may realize.

you are confusing 2 different weapons, this mace does infact drop from Illidan as it dropped for Last Resort.

Do any theorycrafters or better yet anyone with experience with this item know if the special effect will apply to Chain Heal's second and third target?

My **assumption** is that if the primary target of the CH is below 50%, then it will be healed for ~200 extra.
The second and third target will receive 50% and 25% of what the Primary target was healed for respectively, but the +~200 healing is considered only to the Primary target.

Comment by Corbon

Lower healing ranks would massively benefit from the effect, though if the target is already below 50%, it might be smarter to cast a Holy Light anyway, for a Paladin.

Comment by 63182

My guess would be that the bonus healing would only apply to the initial target(assuming, of course, that he is below 50% HP), and would not affect other two targets. The proc properties are:

Heal
100 yd range
Instant
Heal your target for 180 to 220.

From the appearence of the proc, it would seem that the proc essentially casts another healing spell on your target (which heals for 180 to 220), and does not modify the spell which was cast. Since the proc creates an independent effect, it would only apply to the primary target (because the 180 to 220 is acctually another spell, and shares none of the properties of the original spell, and thus will not jump to other targets like Chain Heal does).

Yes the proc will heal the target for 180-220 as an extra heal, but only if the target is below 50% after! your direct heal.

I have this mace on my shaman and yes, it will proc on all 3 heals from a chain heal.
It is very good for a shaman, because even if I'm at 0 mana I can still do alot of healing, just by spamming rank1 Healing wave (500healing/sec with 3/3 Healing way + 180-220healing/sec from proc). It's not something you need very often, but it helped me a few times in arena and on RoS (phase2).

It does not proc of: Healing stream totem, Earth shield and Nature's Guardian (Like Fel Reaver's piston do)

The extra +healing only applies if your target is below 50% AFTER your direct heal.

Comment by Tyrsenus

The graphics will be changed slightly in Patch 2.2.

Comment by Arinen

2.2:

The mace proc now works if your target receives the heal and he is lower then 50 %. It doesn't matter if he ends up with +50% hp after.

The mace is insane for PvP Shamans because when your hp goes below 50 % the proc will work on each Earthshield tick and Natures guardian proc.

Furthermore it also works on prayer of mending. I did not test it with lifebloom yet, but I am pretty sure it also works.

Here's a chart of end game healing weapon combinations for Holy priests.

IMO, Apostle of Argus is slightly better than this for a priest. If you want to have massive +healing, go for spire/scepter combo. The 17mp5 you lose is partially made up in the 25 spirit you gain, plus the proc obviously.

Both are very good choices.

Comment by 97833

Resto druid:
Does proc work on lifebloom tick or final heal, on rejuv/regrowth tick, or only for swiftmend.
Im using apostle of argus, maybe this mace is better.

Comment by 87642

best 1H mace for any healer (+486 healing,+162 other spells,6 mana per 5 sec and good stats)

Comment by 88088

Because it hasn't been stated before the Mace proc can crit and it's crit chance is based of your Healing Spell Critical chance. So for a Paladin as an example the proc should crit a fair amount.

Comment by 7579

This mace would be amazing for Circle of Healing on bossfights where it's massive aoe damage. Giving additional 200 on each hit is amazing, equals like 1000 +healing on CoH if all is below 50%.

When it comes to mana regen it's quite inferior to many other weapons and in many cases will be a loss in use because of this. But ofcourse.. If you've downed Illidan you have something else in storage I pressume ^^

In response to Druid's Lifebloom, this spell does not count for a direct healing spell. It is your targets heal not yours. If you look at your combat log it will read 'Tanks Lifebloom heals Tank for X' NOT 'Healers Lifebloom heals Tank for X'. It is sort of a dumb system in my opinion, however it remains.

Comment by 134839

It goes great whit Scepter of Purification https://www.wowhead.com/cata/item=30911 or Touch of Inspiration https://www.wowhead.com/cata/item=32350 and T6 if you're a priest.

Comment by 137225

The bottom bonus is pretty godly, i'd take this over any SW25 (sunwell platue) healing mace. but that is just me

Comment by sinaraine

no spirit :(

i dont know if priests are dependant on spirit or not, it seems like spirit has lesser effect then mp5, but then theres the talk about control over fsr(five sec rule),

yet when your in a true raid environment, you use small heals continuoustly,

still, spirit adds more +healing. (thought insignificant imo)

spirit or mp5 for priest? iunno.

choice is betwwen lights justice n crystal spire or karabor.

Comment by 133819

how well would this work for a... lets say a spam healer pally? (i am meaning the proc)

Comment by 72744

Strikes me that this weapon provides the most benefit in the hands of a shaman (who can proc it multiple times with chain heal or on any one target with any of their heals) or a paladin (only has direct heals, and is generally put on tank healing...in a fight like Brutallus, every little bit helps).

I would rate it slightly less spectacular for a priest, insomuch as renew and prayer of mending will not proc it. I would not recommend it at all for a tree druid, and not really even for a dreamstater. HoTs won't proc it, and the Dreamstate druid spams such a slow heal, their target is more likely to end up healed by someone else and bumped over the 50% requirement.

In addition, many staves are well itemized for priests and druids, while most shamans and all paladins are restricted to mace usage.

Comment by 143261

Those of you who are saying the equip effect does NOT proc on Prayer of Mending are wrong.

The proc on this CAN proc on Nature's Guardian and Earth Shield if it is casted on yourself.

Comment by 843

Proc is worth +46 heal to shaman in our guild on sunwell raids.

But that +46heal probably doesn't suffer from overheal. The heal does come almost 1 second later so it could still be overheal, just not very likely.

With that in mind, since our shaman also do about 20% to 30% overheal, the proc's +46 is more like +61heal for theoretical comparisons.

Comment by 162760

for priests this is still good, but for other resto classes they should get this one:

Comment by 38740

This was said before by the guy above me, but only indirectly.

Because priests are the only healers that can get the +200 healing to proc on five different targets on an instant cast (I don't care about holy shock, it's crap, I'd feel bad for holy paladins but priests are stuck with lolwell) A CoH priest will truly get the most healing done out of this.

That being said, it lacks spirit, so a priest would get a better regen weapon elsewhere and a pally or shammy would get more out of the MP5.

Sadly, the only healing class that really shouldn't get priority on this is Druids.

Not that I'll ever get a chance to roll on this...
