Runes of Magic US / AU

1) Do not clean t7, regular T10 either one, +16.
2) The MDMG inherent bonus does not work (it's not there)
3) Use a shield

General rule of thumb: healer/raid is a 1-h+shield, dps/solo is a 2-h.

Looking for opinions on whether Fantasy Staff could be better than Clown Wand + Annelia's Toy.

http://www.rom-armory.com/compare.php?a_…uid=3303&b_cs=2

Both weapons at clean t7 gives:
Fantasy Staff
Gives 867 more magical damage

Clown Wand + Annelia's Toy
Gives: 5572 more HP, 622 more stam, 242 more wis, 2626 more pdef, 176 more healing point increase bonus, 264 more crit and 15k mdef.

Is it worth losing all the stats given from the clown wand plus talisman for the significant increase in magical damage, or is the amount your heals increase by not affected greatly by an 867 increase in magical damage?

The staff ismore suited for a druid healer or simly a p/m p/s type of healer. I bleie the p/k and p/r is more suited for the wand/tali and wand/sehild myself.

pssh i dont need no shield for p/s, just use recons and have neg aggro, dont need no pdef =p

lol oh sphen. Don't forget to use the Torture or Juggler set for more crit (i'm going to use the Torture set for now and see later if dmg % actually does better). but yea T10/T11 those weapons for more dmg and healing bonus and Shield over talisman. I'd rather have more pdef over mdef since we stack wisdom

I think clown wand + shield is worth it.
You get same healing as clown wand and Annelia's toy but you get added pdef.
Shield/Tali have same healing and mdmg.

hope this doesn't qualify as a necro, but honestly... so far, the only places i've seen a wand/shield combo be truly relevant has been in three places places. RT plat/diamond on yawaka, sardo first boss, and pvp.

if you're getting hit physically as a healer, your tank is doing it wrong. and from what i've noticed damagewise, you probably won't live through a boss. mind you, this is discounting that you are a money shoveler for this game and can clean t8 + whatever your gear and probably tank as a priest the entirety of GCH. but at that point? you're no longer at a point where it matters, you're just showing off.

i'll admit, i just got a clown want and am gonna go all tiered and get me a mystery shield, and use those. but i'm pretty sure it'll be for siege, sardo first, gonna try on third and see if he still oneshots me, may be good on some trash in GCH, but otherwise, i'm keeping the skelly staff too for bigger heals.
