Restoration Druid, Haste cap and The Egg of Mortal Essence

Hello to all the resto druids out there.
so i have just hit 80 a day ago and have already chosen spec i want to play which is restoration. i have read couple of guides and topics abt gemming,enchanting, gearing and all these stuff so im rushing that 756 haste cap with Celestial Focus. so once gearing i have found some nice trinket which would help me hit that cap pretty easily ( here is the trink https://wotlk-twinhead.twinstar.cz/?item=40685 ) problem is that you get haste when the trinket procs
so here is questoin. is it okay to cap haste with procs or you have to hit the cap with gems and haste rating from gear ?
Thanks alot in advance ;)

Hi,

it is a pretty bad idea to have your hast cap dependant on trinket procs, because if you rely on that, you'll be capped haste for 10s every 2 min, and wayyy under haste cap the rest of the time.
Also as soon as you will get better gear with more haste, this trinket will make you go overcap (which is useless).
The best idea is to slowly build you haste cap with your gear without relying on procs, it's not such a big deal if you're not capped at first and you can totally do a decent job with 400 haste for a fresh 80.
The haste cap only really matters for high-end raiding where having GCD down to 1sec is a matter of life and death, so don't worry too much about it now.



This trinket isn't bad per se, because passive spellpower is pretty nice, but there are far better options for new 80s
The trinket from the end of hall of stones heroic https://wotlk-twinhead.twinstar.cz/?item=37657 is really good for starters and easily obtainable, it will also give you a bit of passive haste that will help you go towards your cap. Despite the low ilvl and blue color, you can totally keep this until ICC replacement.

If you can spend votepoints, your best purchase would be https://wotlk-twinhead.twinstar.cz/?item=45535 and https://wotlk-twinhead.twinstar.cz/?item=45929 OR https://wotlk-twinhead.twinstar.cz/?item=45703 (if you have mana issues)
All those 3 trinkets are very solid and can basically be equipped until you get BiS items

Thanks alot, that actually helped me so much understand some things and yeah i have thought that aswell but you know im just kinda new.
and also yes you are right resto druid does good anyways, i can top all the healers with around 400-450 haste rating in toc 25,10 icc 10n voa and others
thanks again for replying it really helped, peace out ;)
