Spirit Vs. HOZ?????

[kinsawnational]

Ok, i'm building a Cleric paladin that will focus mainly on party play. I think i'm gonna go with MadOnions guide however i may make some variations, however i still will be using Holy Bolt as my main skill and the prayer synergy auras (cleansing-med) I think. What i'm wondering then is should i go for Spirit or HOZ?

I can see the ups of using HOZ as it gives comparable resists with a pdiamond in it and has +4 to holy bolt, however i can also see Spirit being very useful as if will actualy give more resists (88 in a 40+ res pally shield, as opposed to 69 i think), and the plus to FCR. Which one is better overall?

Just to note, i have Magefists as my gloves and a 10 FCR ring on, however these two are not set in stone unless i use HOZ obviously.

Spirit > HoZ.

Just my opinion. I find FHR priceless. You cannot match 55fhr% on one item. For PvM 48% is fine and spirit has it covered, also 25-35%FCR makes alot of gear slots more open. Resists are better on Spirit (with the exception of fire) 80 being the maximum and 72 being the maximum for HoZ. Mana and life are also a bonus. Mana is hard to come by without investing points especially on a caster.

I suggest Spirit.

Thats true. When a caster manas pretty important.

and since your more of a party boy. I assume your gonna drain hard.
Just go for spirit.

Mana will not be a problem with a Cleric.
Remember what main aura he has...

My opinion is for PVM, HOZ. For PVP, Spirit. YMMV... :)

That about says it. You need the Fcr from spirit in Pvp to be succesful. But, in Pvm where the speed doesn't really matter as much Hoz is better for the +skills.

Though, I still prefer spirit over Hoz in Pvm. :P

I like to cast fast. :grin:
