I don’t get why more people that put 5/5 into Empowered Healing never bothered to look at how mixing it with Blessed Resilience would turn out.

From all the math I have done, going 3/3 Empowered Healing and 3/3 Blessed Resilience is an excellent mix.

3/3 Blessed Resilience will add up to ~100 extra healing per TARGET, TICK, and CAST or all the other spells we use to heal, like…

Renew, Prayer of Mending, Prayer of Healing, Circle of Healing, Divine Hymn.

Up to ~100 healing for every target hit with each of those and every tick….adds up VERY quickly.

The best part, is you only lose ~178 healing per Flash and Binding Heal for dropping 2 points in Empowered Healing, which is definitely made up for by all of the other spells.

It really does go off play style, but as Holy our strength is raid healing, those 5 spells listed are used very often and hit many targets and tick/jump alot, even if you are Flash Heal crazy.

EDIT:

So, get the word out that no one ever has to click on the Lightwell to use it. If you are running around it is actually easier to run-click. But if you are standing still stand next to it and put your mouse over it and just hit the “Interact with Mouseover” key. I hear so many people complain they have to change target, right-clicky, and re-target and it screws up their rotation. They don’t know how to use Lightwell properly. You never have to target the lightwell or change targets to use it.

Personally I take Lightwell. There are just too many unique situations where it is invaluable, and I have never seen a single fight where a .1 second faster GH was required to win the encounter. Especially for a raid-healing Holy Priest. If you are that close to a wipe there is something else wrong.

I use the “Interact with Target” keybind and stand within 5 yards of the thing and have it targeted at all time (please Blizzard make Lightwell work up to 40 yards, I’d take even 20). Then even in the middle of casting PoH if I need a heal I just hit my “Interact with Target” hotkey. It just seems uber HPS and uber mana-efficient to be able to heal myself and the raid at will simultaneously, especially during Mimiron. Thankfully, the raid doesn’t click on my Lightwell that much, only in emergencies.

I tell DPS to use the “Interact with Mouseover” hotkey. I need to use my mouse to click-heal too much but they just keep the boss targeted so they can easily have their mouse hover over the Lightwell and heal themselves by hitting a Hotkey that doesn’t interfere with their DPS rotation.

Just want to add my encouragement. I refresh altogether too often in anticipation of reading your How To Build Discipline post.

Great post, but is there a part 3 coming per chance? I thought I read that Disc would be next, which is what I’m aiming for. Thanks for all the work you’ve put into this!
