Not to mention our AOE is butt too when compared to other healers. So much so that AM doesn’t even make up for it
learn to key bind ur 2 beacons if u are using it, and make it fly. (i use it as a shield lulz)
That’s really not a good suggestion

Swapping beacons is so trash, costs a global, If I’m ever in a situation where I have to swap beacons, I just go Virtue.

Agree. Virtue is what makes Hpal so fun to play. It rewards timing.
Say whatever you want about CDs like Sheilun’s Gift, but Virtue +Divine Toll/ Virtue + Daybreak with glimmers set up beforehand, its just so satisfying and fun to use.

it is more of a critical use only, think of it like people getting the bombs in heroic ras, or when they get the slowing aoe debuff in 3rd platform.
back in early mythic days, that’s how you can null and get away from some mechanics, and it still works just fine.
i don’t hardcore raid anymore but now and then u still get that one person that dies all the time in the raid regardless, and learning how to snipe with beacon, u can pretty have much 0 deaths in all fight.
Tbf, I thought we were talking about M+ and not changing talents for raid fights but the only raid I did this xpac was Heroic Amirdrassil and I didn’t see 1 boss fight where I thought I needed Double Beacon. With how tanks selfheal, it seems like a healing loss and I don’t remember and mechanics that warranted a Beacon, that a little spot healing and a Riptide and/or some Rdrood hots wouldn’t solve but I’m sure they existed this xpac and moreso in Mythic Raids ofc.
You don’t put beacons on tanks for this reason. They can self-sustain enough and to spread your mastery benefit, you’re better off putting your beacons on squishy range dps. eg hunters, boomkins.

Which is a huge healing loss compared to Virtue, regardless of mastery loss. Unless an extremely niche fight like Saurfang in ICC
Virtue should heal more though because it’s an active ability.
