Like Moonshroud Robe, Drakewing Rainment, Robes of Crackling Flame, and Insect Vestments? I also noticed you seemed to go for crit where I put gear with haste on my list. I'm interested to know more of your thoughts on where crit should rank for resto druids, because I'm still scared to touch it for fear of being pecked to death by crit chickens : P (BTW - I adore all your posts.) <abbr><em>Aertimuss last blog post..<a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Hotstree/~3/468767397/pre-naxx-resto-druid-gear.html" rel="nofollow">Pre-Naxx Resto Druid Gear</a></abbr></em> Did you shy away from cloth pieces for any particular reason?

Your point about Malygos is interesting, but this article is directed at the druid who's just starting in Obsidian Sanctum and Naxx--of course their gear will look different when they've cleared those and take on Malygos. That's the most difficult of the raids out there right now, and while some players are in there already, that's not really the audience for the post. @ Donovan: The idol question is tricky. I'm about to buy the Lifebloom idol from Emblems of Heroism. @ I don’t heal:

Have to disagree here. Stam makes a difference on Sapphiron, on Kel'thuzad 25, on Gothik, on Heigan, on Loatheb, and on Maexxna. All of these fights are more forgiving with a bit more health. But. more than anything, Stam makes a difference on Malygos. Malygos's vortex ticks for 2000 damage, every second for 10 seconds, followed by 10% of your max health in fall damage. Now, with 2 AoE healers tossing out heals, I still find that people below about 18k buffed end up dangerously close to death coming out of the vortices, and godforbid Mally follows it up with his randomtarget arcane barage (which will hit random raidmembers for about ~10k.). Stam matters in wrath, absolutely. Fortunately, the gear you'll pick up has gobs and gobs of it. “Stamina might have been important in late BC raid content, but we’re not at that point in Wrath’s raid cycle yet.”
