said by KCP :said by DownLow :said by chaud :If you care about mana pots during raiding, you are doing something wrong. Agreed. As a healer, I will always heal my target/group - yes, if I recognize its a lock tapping, I of course will not focus too much attention on them. Funny thing, I often tell the locks in my group to tap if they need and I will heal them. I only do that during the down time. Yes, especially when out of combat.
Oddly enough, as a healer, I have been pre-programed to immediately react to two sounds - Decursive (to clense, even before the target says..."Holy fire on me" or "I'm asleep") and a lock's tap. |

1 edit | reply to DownLow Life Tap Rank 7 (580 Health, 580 mana) before talents and spell damage.
Flash of light: 180 mana, 1.5-2.2k health depending on +heal. Lifebloom: 226 mana, 1 cast, over upwards of 2k heal. Renew: 450 mana, upwards of 3k heal Healing Wave: 720 mana, resto spam rank 1, easyily heal over 5k.
Point, shaman are the only ones that it really affects in more than a blink of the eye, but if they just wait until sub 20%, they have probably the most efficient push.
So 12k Health lock, can generate ~3k mana in ~15 seconds (BEFORE SPELL DAMAGE), and have their healer cast one of the above for in some cases 1/30 the value of a mana potion. Get with it. Just to clarify, I'll add this edit.
Assuming you pot for 3k, the trade off for them life tapping is ~1/30 the value of a pot for the healer, for a full 30/30 pot for the warlock. Add in spell damage and talents and you get the same affect in under ~6 seconds, barely phasing raid dps. -- The History Channel rocks! ... you know it! |
