Hello, kinda new to healing and gemming etc...I was wondering what is a good mp5 number to shoot for in 10 mans and 25 mans. As i sit now i usually dont have a problem in 25 man voa as long as the tank is fairly decent. I havent tried to heal anything in naxx but would like to without goin oom...thanks, any input is welcome....armory below

What you have now is okay, but to be sure you're not ooming in raids, get the badge shield with int enchant (has more mp5), hopefully the h nexus mace (or just get the argent tournament dagger for a temporary), and switch your meta to the Insightful Earthsiege diamond.
That IED will make sure you're good for raiding. Swapping out the PvP gear for PvE gear will give you more mana. I'd say your mana pool is in worse shape than your mp5 (but even the mana pool isn't terrible)

yea the mace from h nexus is what i been trying for..i think im on about my 15th run and havent seen it drop yet..thinking about just getting the crafted titansteele mace but i believe it has around 50 less SP.. the pvp boots i got just because i had a lot of wg marks and i was still wearing lvl 72 boots and they had more int and sp...thanks for the input

The problem with Titansteel is it has 0 intellect. That's why the Easy welfare epic from the Argent Tournament is a good tradeoff. Same spellpower as the nexus mace and titansteel, good intellect too, the only wasted stat is the spirit.
Before the AT came out, I couldn't get the nexus mace either. I was stuck using the Kaluak mace until I got KT's mace on a Naxx run.

I have not done anything with the argent tournament other than a couple dailys...how do i go about getting the marks and how many can i get per day?

If I started the very first AT daily today, I'd have enough for the epic weapon on day 9.
Day 1 - 5 aspirant seals
Day 2 - 10 aspirant seals
Day 3 - 15 Aspirant seals, turn them in, become a valiant and do the 4 valiant dailies for 5 valiant seals
Day 4 - 10 Valiant seals
Day 5 - 15 Valiant Seals
Day 6 - 20 Valiant Seals
Day 7 - 25 Valiant Seals, turn them in, Become champion and receive 10 champions seals. Make sure you've done the Black Knight quest chain so all dailies are opened up, do 4 champion dailies and have 15 champions seals
Day 8 - 20 Champion's seals
Day 9 - 25 Champion's seals - enough for a weapon.
If, in the meantime the nexus mace drops, use that, and use these seals to get the amulet/boots/belt, or get the mace for enhancement (which you can get 2 of and dual wield).

I work with about 420 mp5 with my watershield on and a 22k mana pool. You really need alot of those stats to heal comfortably.

I think...that's a bit high for Naxxramas, isn't it? I think the initial poster just was kind of looking for a benchmark for raiding 10 and 25 mans.
Don't get me wrong, more mp5 and a bigger mana pool is great. It's just...I don't want the poster to be thinking he needs to find some way to break 400 mp5 before he even gets to Patchwerk.
Having said that, around 300mp5 with the water shield is good for 10 mans, and 15000 mana would work well. Remember, you're going to be upgrading that equipment quite a bit in Naxxramas.

Yeah that is acutally an ideal amount for Ulduar 25, I've taken a break from raiding for the last month and a half so my bad, but for Naxxramas I went in with about 17000 mana and 320 mp5 (with shield).
That amount is suitable for Naxxramas, as long as you have a destro warlock/survival hunter/ret paladin or shadowpriest in your raid and keep some potions/flasks on you. I would also advise running with a higher healer ratio until you gear up and get experienced with raid/tank healing. (three heals for ten mans, not two.)
You'll likely get close to OOM on some fights with only that amount of mana, but by timing your mana-tide totem (for two drops per fight if need be), keeping up your mana-spring totem as well as using potions and flasks you should be fine.
Oh and grab a new weapon like the rep mace from wyrmrest temple (grab a shield while your at it) or the argent tournament caster weapon. The staff your using is terrible for a shaman. (Never use gear with +spirit if you can help it).

Base mana is the mp you have when naked.
Please see:
So your statement is 100% incorrect. Please dont misinform people.

He is correct. Base mana is amount of mana you have at 80 lvl without any gear or you can say naked.
Actually, being naked doesn't accurately display your base mana in the character pane or unit frame because those numbers still factor in the Intellect you've gained from reaching new levels plus any talents that directly affect your Intellect (which won't go away by being naked). As we all know Intellect directly affects your mana points, and while base mana does include the Mana Points you earned from new levels, it doesn't include that INT-affected amount.
This I learned from a debate in another wowhead thread. There's a way to calculate your base mana by an equation but I forgot what it was. I'll try to find the source unless someone else replies before I find it.

No problem. It took me a while to understand it as well.
