New to warlock and while doing a Mythic dungeon yesterday noticed my soulstone had numbers on the icon. What does this mean? Its either a 1,2, or 3 on the icon. Thought it mean I had 3 charges and can put it on 3 people but that didnt work. Demonology Warlock. Thank you!
Hi, when you get a new green health stone (aka lock rock, cookie, etc) it has 3 charges.
You can still collect or make another one to refill the charges to 3.
Soul stone only has one to resurrect someone.
No not even close to correct.
THey are talking about soul stone and the number on the soul stone refers to how many people you can battle rez in the dungeon. ALL Battle rez’s do this… And that number is shared between ALL players who can battle rez.
Battle Rezzes have a limited number of times they can be used Per instance. In mythic plus it is like 3 in raids it is a little more. And the charges are shared between anyone who has a battle rez.

You can only do so many battle rezzes during a M+. I think you start with one charge and generate one every 4-5 minutes (?)
It might charge with a boss kill. Usually a healer handles Brez. It is a bad day when a DPS does. Or shadows forbid a tank does.
No it’s definitely on a timer i just can’t recall the exact time
All I could find was this from a 2014 Blue post. Seems about right, I dont think it has changed much since this itteration.
" Combat resurrections are an extremely powerful tool that players have while in combat. Naturally, we apply some limitations. In Mists of Pandaria, that limit was 1 resurrection during a given raid boss encounter for 10-player modes and 3 for 25-player modes. With Flexible difficulty introduced in Patch 5.4, we erred on the forgiving side, and gave Flexible Raids 3 resurrections regardless of raid size.
In Warlords of Draenor, the Flex tech has expanded to more difficulty levels, and we needed a new system to handle combat resurrections more fairly. We knew that continuing with a constant 3 would encourage using the smallest possible raid sizes, while scaling with hard breakpoints would discourage specific group sizes just under those points. Additionally, the limit is not shown anywhere in-game, so it can be easy to lose track of how many resurrections the raid has available (or even know that the limit exists).
So we’ve built a new system to be more transparent, and improve usability.
- During a boss encounter, all combat resurrection spells now share a single raid-wide pool of charges that’s visible on the action bar button.
- Upon engaging a boss, all combat resurrection spells will have their cooldowns reset and begin with 1 charge. Charges will accumulate at a rate of 1 per (90/RaidSize) minutes.
- Example 1: A 10-player raid will accumulate 1 charge every 9 minutes (90/10 = 9).
- Example 2: A 20-player raid will accumulate 1 charge every 4.5 minutes (90/20 = 4.5).
- A charge will only be deducted when a combat resurrection is successful (when the target accepts the resurrection).
- Raid frames now show a debuff indicating that a dead player has a pending combat resurrection available.
- Outside of raid boss encounters, combat resurrection spells retain their normal cooldown behavior."
Learned something. There are still 3 charges on a health stone tho. I do know that from running a lock. She hasn’t run a mythic.

That is correct. But the OP was not talking about the Cookies.
idk if this is redundant but
that is the battle rez counter. its shared across all brez’s in your party except shaman reincarn. preplacing a soulstone will not use the charge unless the person soulstoned takes it. using it to battle rez will consume a charge and you need to wait for the groupwide cooldown to soulstone again
hope that helps
