38 Spell Haste Rating = 4.3% Faster spellcast. (Rounded)

Not much by itself, but with a full set of +Spell Haste Rating, it could get powerful.

Spell Haste is getting a buff in patch 2.2 from 21 to 15.7 haste rating contributing to a 1% reduction in casting times.

Passive ability value:

2.1 = 1.8% reduction in casting time @ 70.

2.2 = 2.42% reduction in casting time @ 70

I obtained the recipe for this item from a raiding guild on my realm, they then supplied me with the 2 Hearts of Darkness required and I crafted them last night. They look awsome and I have submitted 2 pictures to show you how they look, the fel-flames on the front and back are animated and look like tiny plate helms with the flames coming out of the burning eyes.

As a Resto druid, my rank 13 Healing Touch takes 3 sec to cast, with this item equipped it is reduced to 2.93.

It is much less effective on the Rank 4 HT, reducing it from 2.5 to 2.44. However, Leatherworkers (as you must be one to craft this BOP item) shouldnt spit on this, using Drums of Battle , Scarab of the Infiniate Cycle , Blood Lust or combinations of all 3 can make a huge difference.
,
For example, if the Scarab proc's, the total haste bring its down to 2.44 sec, or with the drums down to 2.75 sec.

Its definately possible (see me!) to get this item even if your not a raider, but before buying the recipe (which is readily available on a lot of realms) double check to find out how much 2 Heart of Darkness will cost you first, some realms these go for 1k each.

I have never seen any resto druid wearing these, understandably so since so far, and until patch 2.4, they really aren't any good for druid healing. Spell haste does nothing for casting instants, which is where the bulk of druid healing is coming from (Lifebloom and Rejuv).

Patch 2.4 is finally changing this however. Spell haste will not stop at the GCD of 1.5 second but rather reduce the GCD itself down to a minimum of 1 second. Since getting from 1.5 sec to 1 sec would require an obscene amount of spell haste rating (785!), that cap is of little concern. This nice little change brings the spell haste stat into the picture for resto druids as it will now be just as much effective for them as for other casters (i.e. by increasing capacity by 1% for each 15.7 points of rating).

So if you're a LW resto druid looking for nice new shoulders to use for the coming months (until WotLK even), check to see if the pattern for these is lying around on AH unwanted and underpriced.

The amount of haste required to obtain the 5 lifebloom rotation (3 lifeblooms on 5 different people) is theoretically 113 haste rating. Due to latency between your computer and the server it requires somewhere around 180-220 depending on your latency. The easiest items to obtain are:

https://www.wowhead.com/tbc/item=32582 - Black Temple Pattern
https://www.wowhead.com/tbc/item=35324 - Badge Cloak
https://www.wowhead.com/tbc/item=35317 - Season 3 Honor Neck
https://www.wowhead.com/tbc/item=34625 - Regular Magister's Terrace\

This brings your total spell haste rating to 81. 2355 / ( H + 1570 ) where H = haste rating would return a GCD of 1.426.

If you are a leatherworker and you acquire these shoulders it would boost your haste rating to 119 making your GCD of 1.394.

Awesome pauldrons, shame they aren't a drop :P

I do think they could use a bit of spirit, but these are by no means bad at all.

the Spell haste and Healing are just great.

Comment by Thottbot

these would be great for pvping resto druids

Comment by Thottbot

lay of the druids man!

Comment by Thottbot

Someone explain how these would be good for a tree druid, I cant see the spell haste being that effective, only thing that has a cast is Regrowth.

Comment by Thottbot

Yeah spell haste is a pretty abysmal stat for resto druids with the exception of a few fights when they have to use bigger heals, which isn't often. Yeah it helps regrowth speed but be realistic... it won't make enough of a difference to justify the cost of these nor the waste of mana regen or more +healing for spell haste stats.

It might have some usefulness in pvp but you didn't do pvp to get to black temple and without the resilience stats I question the viability.

Overall a pretty mediocre item, especially considering the caliber of a place it drops from.

Comment by Thottbot

well for a tree druid spell haste is utterly useless for any fight what so ever, i mean if you are spaming regrowth you must be insanely stupid, regrowth is great for a quick emergency heal while in tree form so you dont have to pray whom ever your healing doesnt get hit while lifebloom is ticking (that is if you swiftmend and nature's swiftness are both on cooldown) I myself when i was tree keept nature's swittness on at all times and just throw lifeblooms and rejuvs all around the 5/10/25man lifebloom costs less than 200 mana in tree so spam for the win and i would trow a regrowth to some one in the event that ( a mage pulled aggro, tank got crushing blow twice or stuff like that) so i would still have NO casting meaning spell haste improves nothing... NOW i respecd and i fell in love with another form a healing, 24/0/37 hybrid, I (personal opinion) find it much more efficient and also33/0/28 is very nice indeed.

the object of my spec is becoming a paladin with hots (if you guild has a ton of paladins and shamans ignore this spec, HoTs FTW) depending on spec you have more mana regen or more healing. with 24/0/37 you have minor improve HoTs and 25% more heailing from balance tree. the diference is this: (my tests, i have 1956 heal in tree and 2284 heal in hybrid)

Lifebloom-
Tree: ~783 a tic
Tree (Healing Outside Group Members): ~759 a tic
Hybrid: ~656 a tic

Rejuvenation-
Tree: ~969 a tic
Tree (Healing Outside Group): ~923
Hybrid: ~911

Healing Touch-
Tree: 0 you can't use in tree =P
Tree (outside tree form =O): ~6210 (depending on your spec it varies)
Tree Crit: ~10121
Hybrid: ~6510
Hybrid Crit: ~12642

Of course a crit so ridiculous is never needed in raids lol and you wont be using rank 13 much at all but rank 3 for 110 mana healing 1500 and criting for 2k is nice or rank for 1800 crit 2.4k or rank 5 2.3k crit 3.6k
not to mention the cirts reduce cast time of you healing spells so with 30% crit regrowth spaming low ranks of it makes you have 2.5sec big heals and 1.5spec fast heals just liek the paladins and you get to keep you hots :P

with 33/0/28 i have 269mana regen while casting unbuffed while havin 19% less mana cost on healing touch =] though the HoTs suffer more with this spec

In conclusion if you are tree spell haste sucks in ever way of it, if you are like me Hybrid spec then spell haste is you best friend =]

In 2.4 though, spell haste will shorten the GCD. Seeing as we live on our GCD, with all the instant spells, this could be significantly more useful.
