Awareness seems to be the bottom line in Cataclysm, and so long as we’re getting a workout sweating over CD’s and triage healing, our raid partners need to exercize a little extra awareness on behalf of their HP, and Lightwell is an excellent way to do this.
I’ve been using LW since it came out of the box, so my friends and guildies are generally aware of it’s presence. Although in LK it was considered an “emergency” device, it’s utility is put to use far more often now.

It actually cancels hymn of hope and divine hymn when you click on the lulzwell. I’m not sure if that’s “working as intended” though!

It’s still a reactve form of spell although the consciousness should come from the ones being healed. All in all Lightwell requires consciousness on both the priest and your group. I have been a Lightwell user since WotLK first because of the functionality, and ofcourse how the way it looks. Lightwell’s throughput at WotLK at an ICC gear ticks around 5.2K+ so now that stats runs high it gives out even more!

[...] talked about Lightwell a little bit in the past, and by now we’ve all come to love and respect Lightwell. Lightwell is our friend. Lightwell [...]

I wanted to add a couple tips that people might have discovered by now, but a lot of the people haven’t seen.

1. You can place the lightwell down pre-fight anywhere. I’ve never seen it aggro a mob or boss, even when stuck right next to them (from my experience in 5-mans and Heroics). So even if you’re going to be fighting right on top of where the boss is standing, go ahead and throw it out there pre-fight (just don’t facepull the boss on the way).

2. Not only does Lightwell clicking not change your target or take a GCD, it can be done *while you’re casting another spell*. So tell your group members that if you’re casting a GHeal, or that mage is casting a Frostbolt, or any other ability, move your mouse on over there and give the Lightwell a click. You’ll get healed while you’re doing something else. Think about how efficient that makes you!

This was a wonderfull read, thanks for the post.
I’m going to adjust my mindset to keep the health pools not topped off all the time.

@ Mannaro: Check out http:/divineaegis.com, which Derevka is kind enough to plug on here, too. We are quite active – with the exception of a brief period of silence while we quest and hit level 85. Come check us out!

Great post. I’m glad I found this blog. It seems all the other priest blogs have died.

I’ve been setting lightwell in between the ranged and melee. This has provided decent usage but I need them to get used to using it more often.
