[...] it does currently. Healing paladins and shaman will benefit more from Spirit than they do currently.Its no longer speculation, Holy Paladins will definitely be using spirit on� our gear in the next expansion.� Mp5 is being [...]

an extension of my previous post on artzanic you can gem in MP5 purely but i think that is stupid so i gemmed in int/Mp5 haste/Mp5 SP/Mp5 sure none would be as powerful as if i just gemmed that purely but then i wouldnt have much mana which is essential to healers. the haste helps me get my heals of faster and the SP makes my heals not hit “like a baby”. but that is how i play

its very simple……people QQ too much about pally heals and yet when a druid can stack some hots and /dance while the raid heals fully its okay…its also okay with a 30k mana holy priest runs around and holy novas the entire group to life, its rediculous that peoples constant bitching over paladins being OP in some way or another is actually starting to affect the game. now illumination is 30% mana instead of 60%. there goes literally half the mana i usually get. not too big of a deal but still it hurts. i have an 80 rogue, shaman, druid, warrior, and of course my main is my pally. however on ANY OF MY TOONS i can beat a pally, just as on my pally i can BEAT any of my other toons, for once blizzard actually has created an equal gameplay and toon spellbook, but yet because of a 6 year fued with pallies, the bitching just never ends. everyone is EQUAL, DEAL WITH IT. pallies rely on intellect. PERIOD. int = spell power, crit, and mana. to change that really is gonna screw up the entire system and mechanics of whether or not pallies will be wanted in a raid anymore. if your going to complain about pally heals, then might as well complain over priests and there AoE heals, Druids and there massive arsenal of Hots AND REGULAR HEALING SPELLS, and just life in general. blizz and everyone needs to accept the classes for what they are, equal, players choice in what they choose, and players skill level for how they play it. done deal.

stack enough Mp5 you could spam holy light and then get mana using flash of light but as artzanic said it is all a way of choice

I think MP5 is all about your choice of playing. But i think we can all agree, that pallys with more than 30k mana could easily skip the mp5 stat. For a pally in the 20’s it might be a very helpfull stat. If you stacked mp5, only mp5. It would have the effect that you would never ran out of mana, but our flash of lights would hit like a baby, if we reverse it, we got a paladin that eats mana, but with really powerfull heals.

As i said, it’s a way of choice.

I’m a geared Holy Paladin with about 35,600 mana unbuffed, and I just can’t see myself sacrificing my Int gems and my Crit + Haste on gear for Mp5. As nice as it is I just can’t see it being as beneficial as Int + Crit + Haste. The ways things are going though is I’ll probably be forced to go down the Mp% route in Cataclysm.

Reimur thats the same as saying “i have 2600 SP whats a 20SP gem gonna do” but it adds up. if you dedicate your gear to mp5 you can spam just as many HL as if you have a 35k mana pool (kinda). i’m not saying mp5 is good for pallys but its not stupid if your playstyle can use it to help you out. i’m a semi-new 80 pally and i use the Spark of Life trinket which procs often and grants 220mp5. as my mana pool is only around 20k right now, it helps immensely.

If you stay and think for a second how useful would be stacking some mp5 you’ll end up saying:useless to add 20-30 mp5 to the 350 mp5 from the gear,what do I get?380 mp5 instead 350 mp5?meaning I’ll get one more flash of light once 20 seconds?bullshit..to not talk about holy light(that would be 1 saved once 2 minutes);completely avoid it

mp5 is the most useless stat, we’re never not casting long enough to take advantage of it. i’m annoyed with blizzard’s stance on mp5 for holy pallys. NONE of the geared/good holy pallys are using gear with it as a stat.. some using leather shoulders or merlins robe (cloth), and so on. no mp5 - haste pls!!

i’ve quit healing as my main spec now anyway in favour of ret and just dabble in some holy pvp.
