hm will generally be better
just make this number as big as possible
(.95 + int/100)*(1 + HM/100)
Eh...I find if your int isn't too good HM doesn't give quite as nice a bonus..like when I wen to buy full HM gear @ 55 for cataing.
Changed out 42 Int dagger for 40+ HM Dagger and the heals were very near the exact same if I recall and with INT i'd get the bonus of not getting critted as much by mage casters and if I had to waste mana due to imminent level I could do more damage.
However I used a HM armor and Robe as well both 40+
thats may just be me though..I still use my HM dagger Just B/C I payed for it..but it isn't really all that much different.
However even a slight bit more HM can make up for a lot over int.
E.g. Upgraded from 38 int robe to 43 HM robe and it made a pretty good difference.
