DPS never will change their target from the boss to get a hot. Until that is addressed, its not worth the 1 talent point IMO.Derevkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03560404075831307389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3917626248398447718.post-79007895439095725392009-11-20T16:26:05.228-06:002009-11-20T16:26:05.228-06:00I remember playing a Priest and loving this spell....I remember playing a Priest and loving this spell.

It will heal you. If it heals you I don't have to use mana. Please use the lightwell." But one of the best uses is to keep putting up the lightwell next to Warlocks in your group. They use their health to give themselves mana and then get health from the well. Light feeds dark.Dropofwaterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04118393923974914580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3917626248398447718.post-62063933290748148842009-11-06T07:31:13.877-06:002009-11-06T07:31:13.877-06:00Thank you for a GREAT post about a spell I persona...Thank you for a GREAT post about a spell I personally love. <br />I think I really lucked out as far as "training" my guildies to use it. When lightwell was fixed to actually be a viable healing spell, my raid team consisted of 10 players including myself and another holy priest. Those other 8 people all knew either myself or Jill in person, and through persistent reminders we gradually got to the point where everyone in that core group was clicking on the glowy basin. We now do 25 man raids, and while most of the 15 other people don't touch the lightwell, it's enough for me that the 9 people I started to raid with use it.Trinihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02153827779769833088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3917626248398447718.post-77824963628504488792009-11-06T06:28:10.510-06:002009-11-06T06:28:10.510-06:00I've always liked the idea but have been dragg...I've always liked the idea but have been dragged down by years of raid groups refusing to click on it. When Ulduar was first brought out I included it in my build but no matter where I placed it, hardly anyone clicked on it. I made macros, I yelled, I begged, I offered bribes but still it was a gimmick that people forgot or couldn't be bothered to use.<br /><br />Which is frustrating because there are so many fights in which it could be useful in all tiers of content. I'm going to play around with my build before Icecrown and will probably try again (I'm an eternal optimist at heart) but I admit the odds of it being used by anyone other than myself and a few of our other healers are pretty much zero. Although as a self saver I definitely prefer it to desperate prayer but my current holy build has neither.<br /><br />One thing I do love lightwell for however is two manning heroics. It completely trivialises fights like Malgannis in Stratholme for example and on other fights, allows me to dps virtually full time whilst the tank uses lightwell for healing.<br /><br />What it needs is a PR campaign to make the average dpser really really really want to use it. If only it had a chance to give a slight dps boost or something I bet they couldn't keep their paws off it.Erinyshttp://harpysnest.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3917626248398447718.post-53115385238627028062009-11-05T19:51:55.679-06:002009-11-05T19:51:55.679-06:00Thanks :)

I happen to think Lightwell is a fantastic spell to use, once everyone is trained to use it! Because of that, if you're the type of person who raids mostly via pugs, it's not as useful - but if you have a regular group, much more likely to be properly used. <br /><br />And I entirely agree with the comparison to Desperate Prayer ;) <br /><br />I've got a page on my blog about the usefulness of Lightwell, and I think I'm going to link to this post, as you go into much more detail about why it's a valid talent!Miss Medicinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08722915845184864567noreply@blogger.com
