Ain’t looking good lol as I’m seeing this performing like flameshaper evokers performing before the nerf, has anyone seen this in mythic raiding? Seems very strong for the cost. Saw Heroic Broodtwister kill with paladin doing easy 1.3 million with full mana by the end.
Yeah I think they over buffed this talent. It did my top healing on Sikran the other night and I don’t really know why.
IMO this is really, really bad because 1 it’s a proc (out of your control), and 2 because it’s random healing (out of your control). If you assume that a spec has an overall healing output, the fact that this passive hero talent is doing this much healing means our targeted, deterministic healing spells like WoG, Holy Shock, FoL need to do less.
This has been a major reason why Hpal has felt like it has lacked healing for so long.
In DF it was Glimmer, they removed that stating that they wanted to put more power into our core kit and then they just replaced it with just another set of passive healing cruft imo.
Probably not great but until LS gets a full rework on how it heals, passive healing one of the only things propping the Hero tree up.
Currently, using wowhead as a reference, we actually have something resembling build diversity so we’re not all running Wings HotS builds, and that really comes down to how they buffed all the passive, uncontrollable healing LS does.
While true this talent is one of the few reasons the hero spec is viable. If it gets nerfed there’s no reason to even spec into LS.
Not to mention it’s not grossly overpowered in the grand scheme of things; it simply allows spec diversity and now both hero talents are competitive.

Well, to be fair and obviously I have limited experience seeing it but it did feel like it required one or two healers to be heavy hitting healing for it to truly shine, like it covered the spots but not the main picture.
However the severe lack of mana cost for the Lightsmith build seems wild but I may be wrong.
What I saw was Beacon, WOG, Hammer and Anvil and sometimes LOD be top heals.
