Deathwhisper – plopping it down anywhere is fine; people can click on the move
Gunship – Leave it on YOUR boat for your adds tank if nothing else
Saurfang – plop it in front of someone with Mark of the Fallen Champion
Festergut – use it as your stacking point; people can also click on it when they group up
Rotface – this one’s a little more difficult, but people have used it here, too, so I dunno
Putricide – Not so much use in p3, but if you have a set point for where your people with Orange oozes go, then that’s a good spot
Princes – Same as LDW
BQL – As Oestrus said, in the middle
Valithria – Don’t bother, if you’re going in portals, otherwise same as LDW
Sindragosa – put it in between where ice blocks go; people can click on it on their way to their spots and get a bit of extra healing from the Frost Tomb damage. Also helps with casters for backlash from Instability damage.

The thing with Lightwell isn’t finding out how to use it as much as finding out how to get your raiders to use it. Besides, it actually heals for a pretty ridiculous amount for a little over 1k mana.

The only real downside to Lightwell right now isn’t even that it can get caught in nasty stuff like Defile because of the click radius now (20-30 yds?), and it’s really only limited by boss hitboxes, phase-based encounters (think Mimiron or Halion, LK to a lesser degree), or incredibly movement heavy fights (which is why Rotface it’s harder to use effectively on), and its cooldown.

Definitely, though, find out where its strengths are, teach your raiders how it works, and go from there. Much like Desperate Prayer – it’s not going to be good in every fight, but there are some fights where it’s extremely good, too.

I tend to drop my Lightwell around the melee area, because they very rarely spread out too far from one another and that way the well is also almost always within reach.

There are situations where ranged is grouped up, like Sindragosa or Blood Queen (particularly great for use after Pact of the Darkfallen targets meet in the middle) and it’s lovely there, too.

Granted, it’s not meant for every fight. I can’t see it being terribly swell on Gunship or Deathwhisper. But that’s just for those fights. Not every spell works for every fight. The important thing is to find the ones it is strong on and really maximize it where you can.

Trust me – Lightwell is much nicer this time around. Try it out!

Bit late, but I got a question and a bit offtopic. In your post you said

“The build that I am going with is using Lightwell, mainly because I really want to like the spell. ”

I’m trying hard to find any use for this spell. It seems more like a gimmick than that it’s actually effective. you’re losing dps uptime because people need to run to click it after locating it, the heals aren’t that great. Desperate prayer seems to be much more usefull for at least the current content. I always use it a few times each raid for Syndragosa or LK. I’ll have to admit my guild is casual and we only have ICC done on 10 normal and a 50% on herioc. So maybe it’s different for 25 HC. Do you have any examples how you use it now in raids?

Cheers

I have been playing the renew king in a lot of our raids lately…. so I can’t say I dont like/need MA. Darkness is great, I totally agree… but for now I need MA.

Working on my Post-Mortem 4.0 post this week, so I should have that up Tues/Wed
