Druid Healing sets

So theres the 5 main sets people use, as far as I've seen/heard.

Vahtos
15% is whats noticable here, all pieces need wiping though
Juggler
10% + decent ghost stats (GCH drops though)
Mem vendor
Total somewhere near 1800 mems, and alot alot more if going for all OD (That takes forever..exp here)
Torture
Easish to get (depending on guild + you (I mean compared to Juggler, they're the only 2 where you have to run instances)) and gives decent crit, I tend to think more priest oriented
Varanas Nightmare
Never been inside personally, but i've seen the set pieces and here its a very hard place. It has a % addition to heal, and comes with the equivalent of castle stats (Correct me if I'm wrong there)

Juggler seems hardest to get, which is why I assume that less people use it.
Anyways, has anyone done a comparison will all 4, or just 2 of them? I currently use the mem one Od, which gives a fair bit of healing bonus and is easy to get (though they require wiping and Its an ass trying to get them all OD).

And I havn't really looked into ToSH sets, idk if theres any healing accessory set there, if there is someome update me on them?

Basically looking for people that have tested. I suppose some are better for certain class combo's, I'm a D/S with alot of Dot's (So I stack wis). Insite on how each works on Dots and Flat heals seperatly would be nice but any knowledge/testing is prefed.

Torture doesn't actually have that much crit, not sure what you looked at, only 1 piece has crit on it, and 4piece bonus is an additional 110. Same with juggler.

IMO, the "cheapest" and best is the memento set, especially if you don't care about od. Of the 4 sets listed it has the highest available crit, and healpower. This is what my druid uses. I estimated juggler and memento heals but for priest, and they were equivalent, but again, cost efficiency and a loss in crit. I didn't do the estimate for druid, but since healpower helps druid (d/s especially) much more than it does priest, just a guess memento would still top.

You forgot VN which, just eyeballing, appears to be slightly better than torture, but I'm pretty sure this is the hardest to get.

Vahtos suffers from a lack of passives and plussing stats, and it has the lowest crit available. However, if it is a dpsing druid (umm are there any) then this is a much cheaper set than juggler.

By cheapish, I ment in comparison to jugglers lol. Crit wise, unless I'm thinking of the wrong set, the neck blank t6 OD + 16 has over 1000 mcrit, which is fairly good in my oppinion.

Torture=juggler in terms of cit.

Vahtos is outdated due to the lack of crit as opposed to other sets.

The memento set is actually better than them all, this is taking into account the amount of heal bonus+crit bonus as relative to the over sets. Problem is getting it all od.

VN set only gives +8% wisdom, other thand that, worse than the others.

I did some testing with my old Vahtos to check the % Magic Power thing. I found out that it works as intended, but only for regens. For burst heals, the % increase instead of 15% is roughly a half (7-8%). I have no idea why and whether it is a bug or not. Anyway, currently the memo set gives slightly better burst heals than Vahtos and probably much better than Juggler (providing the 1/2 Magic Power increase reduction applies here as well).

Since regens are not that important in endgame healing, the memento set seems to be the best choice, for both healing power and crit. Sure, getting 3 parts OD might take a while, but so can looting/buying 4 OD juggler pieces. And most likely you'll have to wipe the stats of juggler anyway.

Crit and healing

I have played m/d for long time. I have not studies healing much until now, as I am considering switch gear and toon to d/m or d/s. First thing i was going to change was accessories.

Does crit matter for healing? Along those lines - if ones get the mems set, does the 20% for OD affect the heal as well?

Torture/juggler sets actually have a lot a decent amount of crit when you plus up the necklace. I believe the crit you receive is around 800 points when +16'd and od.

Vahtos should be replaced by either gch or tosh memento healing set when they are accessible to the player. 15% spell power is nice, losing out on all that crit is not. A happy medium is the juggler set. +10% spell power, and a good amount of crit.

Personally, Im avoiding the VN set. 8% wisdom, which is useless in terms of burst heals (would only affect regens be small amount) and 2% healing is nothing compared to the ZOMG crit and heal point bonus of the tosh healer memento set.
