Heh.

Brimstone = Another name for Sulphur.

Staff = Synonymous with Stave, duh.

In all essentiality, no name change at all :]

Will add approximately 767.04 to healing.

Definitely hoping to get this on my Balance of Nature druid.
This is a great staff for any caster that needs some hit (and judging by the lack of hit on the majority of gear that I've seen for lich king thus far, you're going to need it!)

Also, looks amazing.

hummm... why posting about +heal on this staff? It's clearly a Caster DPS one. You don't need hit to heal dammit! ^^

This staff is animated. The wings flap and the head moves around. There is also a glowing red ball inside the ribcage.

I have this item, got it our first time in normal Naxx 10 man 2 weeks ago. I'm a priest. No one else wanted it, so I took it: everyone had a big laugh at me- "lol look at the priest with the DPS staff". Big upgrade for me at the time over MH/OH combos available.

Now last night I got the Spire of Sunset from Heroic Thaddius. Turns out the 89 spirit from this staff= the 23 mp5 of the Spire. That is to say, my mp5/casting didn't budge up or down 1 point. Obviously my mp5 normal went down a good chunk, but in raid with over 500 mp5/casting, I don't care so much. Yes, I'm a healing octopuss- I'm everywhere, all the time so I stay in-casting. Over 26 million effective healed in a full naxx 25.

Now, you might be wondering, seriously, other than hit/haste what's the difference in laymens terms?

Spire of Sunset has a *slightly* higher top end on my heals (avg. Flash Heal: 4985, high-end: 5087, low-end: 4775), but also a lower-low end. Sulfur has a near-as-high top end(avg. Flash Heal: 4930, high-end: 5030, low-end 4800), but has the benefit of consistancy with the top-end of my heals. This is self-buffed with only a flask and Inner Fire up (I stay perma-flasked).

Note: I'm also currently buffing crit (23% in raids) over haste (but have a haste set of around ~800), so ymmv.

That being said= if you're a healer, go way. This is DPS first, scrubs. When you can justify your need for +hit (SHACKLES/1 MC in Naxx LOL!1!) then sweet. I almost feel guilty for getting this over another priest when I already had the Sulfur Stave.

Healers- if you really want a staff, get the spire and leave this for DPS. Guild can't run 25 man naxx? Get a MH/OH combo.

The wings and the head on the staff do move, although not continuously. Every 30 seconds or so (the timing is random) the bat will start to turn his head and flap his wings. However, the claws at the bottom of the staff do not. At the center of the staff is a diamond that glows orange. Both of the screenshots that are posted were done after the owners put spellpower enchants on it that covers it up, so the original color is not white as they depict.

If any healers are rolling on this item, I truly pity the casters in the group, because you just gave them the shaft.

That's deep.

I say give it the hunter. That'll stop any in-raid arguments.

PS While the inclusion of +hit may seem more beneficial to caster dps, your dps'ers should be at or close to hit cap by the time they see this boss (or when stepping into the instance). Based on where it drops, I can imagine more scenarios in which healers would gain more benefit by receiving a weapon with +hit to increase their utility such as healer range tanking one of the stationary bosses in 4 Horseman, etc...

However, shamans and paladins (I think - haven't played a pally since BC) receive little to no goodness from spirit. That leaves priest and druid healers with whom the question of +hit mostly affect. Since most raid groups try to take care of their tanks and healers first, I see this as much ado about nothing. (and that's why it should go to the hunter! :D)

Except for hit rating, as said above, with absolutely zero benefit to healers (unless you are expected to Mindcontrol in heroic naxx as a priest).

Not that I have serious proof, but, from my experience in Naxx25 (and we run it weekly), with me as a Shadow Priest and other 2 Holy/Disc Priests, the mobs don't seem to resist the Mind Control EVER, even if you have 0 hit rating.

ITS ALIVE!

Comment by Warondar

Well hell, what side do I take if I'm both Resto and Balance Druid? Who cares! I have both staffs you know why? The dam gear always comes sooner or later! hehe I'll never argue with a dpser/healer in the group who WANTS something. They want it that badly, they can have it. I'll be back next week, and following weeks and sure to see it again.
