[...] Raiding priests should be ready to say on vent/mumble “Lightwell” when big damage is going out and healers are falling behind… that one word on vent, shouldn’t make or break “how you prefer to play with Lightwell/spring.” I personally like Lightwell, as I previously discussed at the start of Cata in this post.

Take a look at RSA. I discussed it in last week’s post.

Do you have some lovely macros or addons for Lightwell?

It was such a pain to get the DPS to NOT use the Lightwell on Chimaeron in P1 -.-
I really was about to yell at them. In fact i did, when it was demanded to place the well somewhere near the melee DPS, who feared for their lives. Only 10k hp people…
I like to place it near the main tank before the fight starts so the cooldown is ready on the second Feud phase.
Like you said, it’s a long road to get the DPS to use it wisely and at the right time.
I’m still struggling where to put it in the first phase of the Ascendant Council. :/
P3 is pretty obvious but I’d like to give it a proper use in P1 as well.

Yes it does so even in WotLK.My Lightwell renew ticks at around 7k-ish at ICC gear so now that the stats and their ratings are way higher than it was in WotLK you can expect a lot with Lightwell Renew + Guardian Spirit. I have tested and experimented with much of the viable builds back pre 4.0 patch where you can do Hybrid build. From an experienced and well versed talent build enthusiasts, the 41 talent point is a concise hybrid build that all the three specs can benefit from.

Nice tip regarding the use of Lightwell during the Rawr phase at Halfus. We’ve just started BoT and were having issues at this point. Will definately implement it.

Does the lightwell heal tick benefit from the 40% Guardian Spirit buff?

Maybe I’m a lucky one. Everywhere I look, people are saying it’s difficult for melee or tanks to use lightwell. My tanks BEG for it. Our tank on Chimaeron likes to use it to help get himself above the 10k threshold. The problem we have is that when we stack for Feud, all the dps want to help the healers out & click it! So when the tank is relying on the lightwell after the Feud, it’s long gone.

I have to say, once you train your raid to use lightwell, they crave it. It’s the beacon of hope >>.

Best thing is to train the raid leaders….my raid leader has been known to place a raid marker for where the lightwell will be !

Melee collapse point is a great place to drop a lightwell if you have to because people are going to be around it a lot. The deep breathe can really bite you in phase 2, but my group has had some success with it.

In phase 1 we collapse for blackout right behind valiona. Again, this is a good spot to drop a lightwell because everyone in the raid should be here quite often (or at least more than near enough) and valiona shouldn’t be moving to much in phase 1.
