1.10 item changes

[Professor Frink]

Bull.  The items lost a little spirit to gain a lot of everything else.  We know, by Blizzard's itemization formula, that pushing one stat on an item is costly.

Found some of the examples:

Guiding Stave of Wisdom

1.9 stats:
+10 stamina
+29 spirit
+10 frost resistance

1.10 stats:
+11 stamina
+10 spirit
+10 frost resistance
+53 healing

Was a priest-only item, and not that good of one.  Now it's a healer item.

So maybe on two items they have less spirit than is optimally useful (for priests, not for anyone else).  But they're all still better items than they were before.

Not at all a priest-only item--it was one of the best mana-regen weapons in the game. Put a +20 spi enchant on it and swich to it in combat whenever you get into mana regen or innervated. Useful for any class that has mana. I imagine this will make this item completely useless for 98% of the people who actually use one, and healers will continue to want a staff competitive with greens of the same level.

Can I do the quest to get a dancing silver to replace mine or has that been nerfed too?

edit: losing good +spi jewelery will be annoying, too. The priest blue pvp set has 16 spi total, only the legs have any. a set of switch gear that crammed as much +spi as possible onto the slots not used made for nice balanced gear for soloing, where having near-default spirit made for painful downtimes and dangerous oom situations.
