Well I meant more in the lines of 'when one of your healers puts out 2mil damage to down a boss', shit just got serious.

**Norellicus** · 2011-01-23 10:58

There is that, yes

I highly doubt that was his intention, merely it was for mana regen. The dps was just a bonus.

Why the fuck warlocks keep giving me dark intent? I'm tank and that happens both as paladin and druid

**Kaylia** · 2011-01-23 23:20

Probably because you're more likely to get an healing over time than someone else, I don't know.

**aurik** · 2011-01-23 23:34

If you're going druid healer, that is pretty easy to pick up but is quite complex to really push good numbers. It will be better after 4.0.6.

**Akanei** · 2011-01-23 23:38

Because you getting a bonus to heal effects is less stress on the healer.

The status effect works both ways.

**aurik** · 2011-01-23 23:40

I'm pretty sure the effect is healing done, not healing taken?

**Akanei** · 2011-01-23 23:42

I was under the awareness that HoTs will take the bonus. I could very well be wrong, though.

Still boosts WoG, all the same, though, which you should be using.

**aurik** · 2011-01-23 23:43

Really a waste, should be put on the healer as his healing done will dwarf the healing done by the tank.

Honestly most Warlocks are absolutely retarded. I play a Fire mage which can have 4 different DoTs if I glyph FFB and every lock I group with will just throw it on the healer or on a rogue or something.

**Norellicus** · 2011-01-23 23:51

The wording on Dark Intent contradicts itself, it could go either way. Warlocks don't RECEIVE critical periodic damage, and they don't GIVE periodic heals...so either way some part of the wordage should be tossed out.

I'd want a blue post to confirm intended mechanic myself.

I agree on that. My friend usually throws his on a priority: resto druid, feral, hunter (not counting which of them actually show up...).

There's worse choices, but there's a small reason, albeit a kind of bleh one. I always figured it was more to benefit the lock than its target, to be honest.

Dark intent is on crits done from a hot or from a dot, not healing received. Best healer for it is a resto druid, best caster for it is a boomkin on add intensive fight, shadowpriest, or feral druid. It should never be cast on a tank, that's beyond stupid.

**Ksandra** · 2011-01-24 00:14

how important is spirit to holy pallies? Started gearing mine up for pvp and I noticed a lot of the holy pieces lack it.

Fire mage.
Edit: Here's some numbers from last nights Halfus fight (no whelps).

Boomkin: 42% of her damage was DoTs with uptimes of 65/86/27.
Fire Mage: 41.6% of my damage was DoTs with uptimes of 84/85/53/10

I also went to take a look back at when I was FFB glyphed (although sadly I don't have any completed Halfus fights of this). World of Logs for some reason calls Frostfire Bolt by the name of Fireball but around 5% of my damage was from the FFB DoT although for some reason it says an uptime of 2% when its around 100%...

I literally just started playing Holy but spirit seems one of those things that you don't really worry about, you just take it as you get it and gem for only when going for socket bonuses. Most healing plate will automatically have spirit on it

When there is down time, a lot of shaman will DPS to get their mana back. The DPS isn't anything to scoff at, either. It all adds up eventually lol
