hyuriI never understood the fetish so many people had for spamming Holy Light. I mean, sure, you get higher HPS -- but most of that is overheals anyway. with the 4-piece Tier 9 holy set bonus, Tears of the Vanquished, and a focus on Intellect gems, I managed to keep up in ICC25 with Flash of Light and Holy Shock. not only was I keeping the tanks up, I was throwing out raid heals as well.
okay, maybe I wasn't topping the charts. okay, maybe I wasn't ridiculously overhealing the tanks. I also wasn't running out of mana mid-fight. in fact, I often finished trash pulls with more mana than I started them with! and I was doing my assigned job: keeping the tanks alive. granted, I did tend to finish boss fights pretty close to tapped out, but to me that seems to indicate that I was geared just about where I should have been.
and I'm healing just as well now as I was before, if perhaps a bit less efficiently. I need to work Word of Glory and probably the new rendition of Holy Light into my rotation more. I'm still used to thinking of FoL as healing less than it does now.
also, the 4-piece Tier 10 holy set bonus seems really ... pointless now.
