Thinking of an Arena Hybrid spec:

I'm hoping to go grind the shield and mace in the Arena with some friends, so I'm thinking of a spec that might give me a few more healing options.

What do folks think of:

Can you get enough avoidance gems to kill your HP a little, but be able to pickup a 20/40/0 build?

Illumination is a godsend in the arena, where you can very easily find yourself chaincasting max rank HL.

I recommend you change the points in Reckoning to 3/3 Improved Conc and 2/2 Guardians Favor

Well I went with the spec mentioned in my first post, but I'm currently considering going even further down the hybrid route.

This is what I'm currently toying with. Of course I'll have to get some more avoidance gems back into my set-up, and maybe replace one of my Stamina trinkets with the Figurine of the Colossus again to make up for the lack of Deflection.

I'm currently torn about where to shove my last point. Avenger's Sheild is a great aggro-loader, but problematic around CC. Divine Favor can be a life saver and boosts my healing mana efficency.

Any thoughts?

very nice build im doing something like that myself except going 10/41/10 more of a tanking build still but i think i gotta try your build out later nice work!

See my post in Imo's thread. Best way to go is to switch back and forth between specs. Healing Light (and Illumination) are great for heavy healing, and if you're serious about arena, you will want Light's Grace as well.

I personally recommend my spec. It loses approx 1.96% pure avoidance and 0.32% block, Reckoning and Precision and gains uninterrupted healing/shorter interrupts and some free Int.

If you're more serious about PvPing than tanking, you should listen to Baelor and go deep enough into Holy for Light's Grace.

If you're more serious about tanking than PvPing, try my spec. (click the sig)
