Hey jhazrun this week i wil start heroics bosses, i read than disc priest are gemming for crit when they reach their own spirit cap, I feel than my spirit cap is around 12000,actually im gemming for int is better gemming critical when the bonus socket isnt int?
Can you explain me a little about gemming priorities depending bonus socket?
Here my profile http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/character/e ... m/advanced

The thing with gemming INT is that on gems you can get 320 secondary stats for 160 primary, so straight INT is generally just not a very efficient approach. What kinds of socket color & bonus situations are you second-guessing?

hey again jhazrun,my doubts are for example 2xred sockets with +120 mastery bonus socketor maybe haste.spirit
And for example the weapon/waist gem when u already reached ur "spirit cap"

In most cases you want more than +60 of a non-INT stat per off-color socket. +120 MST for two is normally below what I'd consider swerving for.

What if one found they were Holy a fair amount.

Would running int be more beneficial to suit both specs?
