REH finally dropped for the first time for our raid after countless hate runs. Point being, no one save me had any interest in it. Templar didn't wanna give up the heal crit from the WoE set helm, and the mystic said almost exactly the same thing. Only one other person even bothered to bid on it and barely tried. Even after the proc nerf I'm trying to come up with a truly better helm. We are raiding low end TSO/hate/vp so it's not like we even have the choice of avatar level gear yet to choose from.
I am legitimately asking here...maybe I'm stuck two expansions ago and there is some huge development in healing techniques that I have missed. Is there?
Looking at the other class threads, three of the four classes that can use the helm have it directly listed as the best item for the slot and the last class doesn't have a dedicated loot thread that I could find, but those threads are pretty old, so who knows.

your other healers were fucking retarded, be gretfull, upgrade is off gozak, but in your field of raiding u just got the best helm u could for little spent...

It is the best or at least the 2nd best helm out there. It tops any T4 set helm including the 6 piece set bonus. Any healer that can not get the helm out of MMB and does not bid on this one should better stop raiding.

Alternatively you could probably sell loot rights for 750 p or so ... Grats! You knew there was a reward for coming here! ;)

There are some exceptions for when the REH is not the 2nd best helm in game (since the proc nerf), at least for Inquisitors. Well by some, i ment 1 that I can think of.

The exception is your 4-set bonus for group tenacity. Group wide tenacity gives people in your group more hp than the ward offers in some situations, in others it gives everyone in the group an extra 800+ hp that is constant.

Situation:
non 4 set: 5 tenacities up (1400ish hp to 5 people)
4 set: group tenaicty (1600hp to 6 people), sta/mit up (400ish hp to 6 people), resist/hp up (400ish hp to 6 people).

Difference - 5 people on average gain 1000hp (mages gain a bit less because of sta/hp conversions or people capped on sta), 1 person gains 2400hp.

REH wards for 1500 meaning 5 people would have an extra 500 hp every now and then and be short 1000 other times, while the other person will rotate between loosing 2400 and 900 hp.

If you are on a pvp server, it is even more extreme getting the pvp 2-set to buff tenacity even more (something like 2000hp/85dps after mods)

Wow your pepople must have really low STA. For my group the max HP someone gets through STA is ~150. Also you should compare 4 tenaicty + restst/hp for a more accurate comparison. Also I never need the additional HP. Though to high mitigation and high resists I normally take less damage then anyone else in my group.

So on a fight with no physical AE you compare 4 used tenaictiy vs 5 tenaictiy. Not such a big change. Only on a fight with a physical AE it is 3 vs 5 tenaictiy but even then it is better to use 4 different slots (including the set gloves instead EMG).

p.s. And because the REH has a regenerating ward, the ward is actually better then the one out of MMB. (At least I don't know that one from the other helm regenerates.)

As compared to REH, the Faded Black Hood from Gozak procs for a larger amount, more times per minute, and regenerates for a larger percentage.

Calain

Ok. I stand corrected on this part.
