Why is everyone on this forum seem to say that a druid's offhand should be master's grim? Why not use the arcane orb of spirit? Doesn't it have 10 more regen?

Have you seen what a boost in that much focus does to all of your spells? Healing especially, but I would say all of them.

With the huge array of regen items, bracelets, rings, ammys, etc regen itself becomes less the end all be all, and focus or stat-array for all classes becomes the crux. Now this said, at a high enough level sometimes another 100 focus isn't needed exactly, and just has a diminishing effect past a certain number...sometimes in some circumstances the tridents for their STR/DEX or other elemental off hands make more sense..

But at the end of the day, if you like the orb more, use it. Its your game, not anyone else's.

What tea said. The additional 100 focus is better than an extra 10 energy regen. You can gain that regen through other means. Aside from that the only bonuses the orb has over the book are its defensive bonuses but as druids we are rarely up front in combat. Typically we're located in the back healing and buffing. Once you've done a few otherworld boss fights you'll learn where to position yourself to where you take the least amount of damage, if any damage. Once you add that to the equation the only benefit the orb has over the book is its extra ten regen. What do you think is more important? 10 regen or 100 focus?
