Lightwell

[Star]

Just be nice about your reminders "Don't forget about the lightwell guys!" I say that on Chimaeron during Feud and I see those hots ticking on everyone almost instantly, it's awesome :D

I do find that if I don't remind people they generally forget, except tanks. I understand though, as I've dps'd a few fights and there's just a lot going on, it's easy to forget.

When I notice a tank not use it I have wispered them in the past but most seem to use it now. And when I want the raid to use it I will generally remind them of its location right before I want them to use it, this way they generally use it when needed most, however like you said some people ignore it like they do healthstones and then don't wonder if there's anything they could've done to stay alive, sad but those people won't change.

I use yell macros. It's usually "CLICK ON THE LIGHTWELL" although a couple time it's been "CLICK ON THE LIGHTWELL OR I WILL CUT YOU" if people aren't getting the point. I don't say anything on vent -- other people do that for me, including the GM.

I know not everybody uses it. I'm sure the people who stand in fire and die without using healthstones aren't clicking it. At long as all 15 charges get used before it is off cooldown again, I call it good. If it comes off cooldown and the existing one was still up, I mention that people are failing at clicking and it's generally better on the next attempt.

My recent big complaint is realizing how complicated it is to click Lightwell as a Shadow Priest. Lightwell cancels channeled spells, which includes Mind Flay! >:(

Yeah... try not knowing that and clicking Lightwell during a vital HoH channel. /sigh I quickly learned not to click while channeling.

And the cutting thing... LOL I say that too >_> jokingly of course :)

I currently raid with a 10 man group and all of the complaining in the world hasn't helped them click it more. I finally recently speced out of it. I know in a 25 man raid scenario it would be more worth it but with the 7k mana it costs to place and 8-30k heals going out from it. Its not worth it in my case.

I would not give in and start playing hardball ^_^ If someone dies, I would inquire over vent if they used lightwell. I would also post WoL on my guild forums, ranking who is using it.

Sadly public humiliation is often a good motivator for lightwell- at least for a few raids. Sometimes people also just need a friendly reminder. Our Priests like to remind people over vent during a boss fight to use lightwell. When this happens, I can see 5-7 people instantly click the lightwell with my RSA addon.

I remember looking at stats for lightwell the first week of Firelands. I had something like 57 while the next person below me had 21. I <3 Lightwell.

Makes it easier to use now that you can use it while channeling ;)

Aahhh the lightwell, its like a long running joke in my guild. Back in the day when you had to run to it, we had a very loud priest who'd get cross and shout at people to use it all the time. Ofc back then it would hinder any dps's job to run to it, needless to say it grated on the raid. I can't bring myself to tell people to use it now for fear of sounding like him! I have one tank who's amazing at using it, and it gets occasional use from others. For the mana it costs I wonder whether its worthwhile. I should probably go to the effort of figuring out the HPM for the use it gets.
