These are very good. If you get 3point transcendence without your transcendence gloves use these instead. Way better.

I love these gloves. They are very good. Although on fights like instructor in Naxx or places where I chain heal alot... they arent that great... so I do swap them for mana/5 gear.

The key to making these gloves.. let alone spirit worth it is to not heal if noone is taking dmg... alot of priests in early on raids just spam heal and never stop... then they go OOM and say spirit sucks.... With 350 spirit (when not using my soulkeeper with 20 spirit) I regen enough mana in my gear to get 106 mana ever 2 secs.... (Raid buffed around 112) And I have the darkmoon card which procs all the time for me.... And if you use the darkmoon with spell timing properly... you can do some sick regen (1 time w/o innervate I regened 400% of my 8k mana pool in 6-7 min fight and still had more then 20% mana at the end)

The spirit on these are pretty hot, but i would NEVER trade them over from my gloves of prophecy. I would use them for a secondary set, hence, not worth the DKP.

Well.. theese might me a little more sought after when 1.10 gets implemented.. Since u actually have a talent that gives dmg/healing+ with spirit..

Well... considering my guild is far enough into BWL to get Trans Gloves, these gloves are... well... barf.

They are the most common drop we get after Razorgore too.

Gloves of prophecy vs Gloves of rapid evolution

AC 63 vs 70
int 15 vs 12
spi 15 vs 32
sta 10 vs 12
fr 7 vs 0
regen 6 vs 0
heal 18 vs 0

When converting spirit into manaregen/5sec we get:

[13+(15/4)]/2*5 + 6 vs [13+(32/4)]/2*5
==> 47,875 (prophecy) vs 52,5 (rapid evolution)

So manaregen while not casting any spell is slightly higher with rapid evolution, but since spirit only regens 15-30% while casting:

==> 6,28 + 6 = 12,28 (prophecy with 15% regen)
vs
==> 7,875 (rapid evolution with 15% regen)

or

==> 12,56 + 6 = 18,56 (prophecy with 30% regen)
vs
==> 15,75 (rapid evolution with 30% regen)

So by sacrificing 7 fire resistance, 45 mana, +18 healing you get +20hp +7ac and worse manaregen while casting.

Conclusion : Priests stay away from this unless you still have devout.

I'm not saying spirit's not without its merits, but these are known as the "Gloves of Rapid Disenchantment" in my guild. Heh.

I have these on my druid, all the preists that wanted them were released at the time razorgore died, its over 120 spirit when I innervate myself, including regen while casting, I can almost get a full mana bar from innervate now

Spirit rocks in pve. If you damage/heal in bursts that is
