Prior to the 1.10 patch, Rheyna was a mana regen build with (unbuffed) around 300 int, 210 spirit, and between 40 and 80 mp5, depending on the specific configuration of gear I put her in. This allowed her to go a long time without drinking mana potions or running out of mana, and was very convenient for healing rotations in MC.
Now with the new talent trees, she's gone from 20/31/0 to 21/30/0. This means she has the spirit buff and also 5 points in Spiritual Guidance, a talent that means that she gets 25% of her spirit converted to +damage/healing.
With the reduction in cast time, +healing bonuses are not quite as valuable to priests as they used to be, when GH got the full advantage of the bonus. However, 25% of spirit is a lot, and makes me think it might be time to reconsider her build. I'm thinking of moving to a spirit-based build, and shelving some of her mana regen gear. Before I take the time to farm blue spirit gear for her, though, I wondered if any other priests had tried this with the new talents. And if so, how it works out. Bear in mind that Rheyna is a purely PvE priest. Her RP doesn't let her PvP at all.
If I do a new build, I will probably focus on spirit, int, +heal in that order. I'd like to get to around 400 spirit fully buffed, remain at about 300 int, and get as much extra +heal as I can. I'd be changing some of her chants to do this (+9 spirit on bracers instead of 4 mp5, for example), and banking the gear that's all about mana regen (like her Mana Channeling Wand) to replace it with stats gear.
Any thoughts?
