Hi, Im a raiding Disc Priest for my guild. My concern is stat allocation. When is too much int... too much. I feel my Spell Power is too low for my Gear Choices. Looking for any imput plz.

Simple. Stop stacking Int when you feel like you have enough mana/regen to last thru the fights.

There is no cold, hard number for that because it really depends on your healing style and role in the raid.

Personally I wouldn't socket pure Int. I don't see anything wrong with your equip. Apart from chest and shoulder enchant, of course.

ty for the reply yes shoulder enchant is bad and chest is too working on it. Slow with grinding rep and bad with cash if i do one the other rolls in lol ty again

armory only had half the armor on ur toon when i clicked through....but I'll share my "magic numbers." I know that when raid buffed, around 28k mana is sufficient unless i'm raid healing from disc....i rarely, if ever, run oom from that number, and when i do, i've always got shadowfiend or the hymn that mana regens...

I've pulled all of my mana regen gems and almost all of my int gems in favor of spellpower and crit.

key numbers:
mana pool: 28k (give or take, depending on group and dps/tanks that don't take care of themselves or are under-geared)
haste: 250-300 (global CD and borrowed time from pw:s make it not as beneficial to go much beyond that in my experience)
Spellpower: 2300+
Crit: 25% minimum

now....the stats and set bonuses on Tier sets make is necessary to pay attention to the numbers, not just the "don't gem for int" comments...T9 has gobs of haste, so I pulled all my haste gems, and plenty of int, so I'm pulling them, too....plenty of regen, so I'm not even getting socket bonuses in some places so i can gem for pure SP/Crit as often as possible....this was not the case with T8, where I had to pay attention to int and haste....so look at numbers, not just the idea of what to gem for....gem for gaps in your gear that inhibit ur playstyle and situation

Ive always been told never gem for crit since crit is a RNG stat. I gem int and im sitting over 35k mana raid buffed which makes my Rapture give me ~825 mana (more if used on self) and replenishment also gives alot of regen. I raid around 2700-2800 sp raid buffed with ~40% crit (talents/intel/gear) while still maintaining the 12% haste cap (around 395-400 haste). With how priests are currently set up, there's no reason to not just toss a 20 int gem in a yellow socket, a 23 sp gem in a red, and a sp/spi or (i personally dont use this next one but some do) int/spi in blue sockets.

Also, T9 4 set is broken so not always worth using if you have better pieces
