List of boss abilities granting Holy Power through Blessed Life

[iLive]

Blessed Life (BL) can account for a major part of our Holy Power (HoPo) generation, in some encounters. There's some boss abilities we can't avoid, and generating that extra HoPo can be nice, so I’ve with the help from eternalwhitemoon and Simca made this list containing which boss abilities that generates that extra HoPo. If there's anything that should be corrected, please write it as a comment and I'll make a change.

If you're using web logs, you can use following code to indentify what abilities causes you to gain HoPo:

[{"spellNames": ["Blessed Life"], "eventTypes": [8]}, {"eventTypes": [1], "targetNames": ["Your Name Here"]}]

Magmaw: magma spit or whatever they called
Omnitron: electron, arcanotron and maybe magmatron???
Maloriak: biting chill???
Chimaeron: caustic slime

Halfus: fireball, i dont think shadow nova proc blessed life
Valiona: twilight blast

This is what i've done till now in raid. So i think that 1 point (since there is the ICD of 8 seconds) it's good to put in Blessed Life.

[kenn9530]

blessed life doesnt work at all on valiona, out of 22 tries on hc last night only 3 procs, i specced into it hoping it would grant alot of holy power

[iLive]

bump, looking for more comments

[Valamivan]

Nef: Shadowflame barrage. (=on p2 it is very good, p1 and p3 it's useless.)
Cho: Corrupting missiles, which should be always avoided = useless.
Haven't tried it on Council so will just guess that water missiles should proc it (not the interruptable, but the waterlog one), maybe the lightning rod and I would also guess that in P3 the lightning should proc it as well, which is kinda constant but the phase is farely short, making it farely useful.
Conclave: Nothing comes to mind?
Al'Akir: Wind Blast in P1?

(BTW very, very good thread, very useful)

[eternalwhitemoon]

The abilities I list are only abilities I noticed haven't been mentioned yet. I'll keep editing this as I pour over the logs.

Edit: I think I've found about all I'm going to find. You guys should use the code I provide below to see if you can pick up anything in your WoL that I missed. Please remember, analyzing raw data is superior to simply guessing based on observation.

Halfus
Shadow Nova (avoidable)
Furious Roar

Valiona and Theralion
Nada. Zilch. Zero. Systems failure.

Ascendant Council
Glaciate
Water Bomb
Flame Torrent (avoidable)
Thundershock (Everyone takes at least a small amount of damage from this, so this can't be lumped into 'avoidable' :P)
Chain Lightning
Lava Plume

Cho'gall
Blood of the Old God (avoidable)
Random procs from players hitting me while MCed
Malformation Shadow Bolt (avoidable--this is the tentacle you get from 75 Corruption)

Magmaw
Despite what others have said, my logs indicate absolutely no procs on this fight, even looking over multiple raids.

Omnotron
Stuff that's already been mentioned by the OP: Arcane Annihilator/Electrical Discharge. I had the fortune of not being targeted by Acquiring Target for a few kills in a row.

Chimaeron
Massacre
Note: Caustic Slime does not seem to trigger BL as suggested by Siral. I've looked my logs over carefully and repeatedly, over several raids. Not one caused by Caustic Slime.

Maloriak
Flash Freeze

Atramedes
Modulation

Nefarian
I think I may have specced out of BL by the time we got to Nefarian. I find it hard to believe that nothing in there procs BL.

Conclave (note: I am on Anshal/Nezir, never on Rohash, so I don't have any logs to indicate what on Rohash's platform procs it)
Wind Chill

Al'akir
Wind Burst (may or may not be "avoidable" depending on tornado RNG)
Static Shock
Squall Line (totally avoidable)

Here's the query you can use to find what procs Blessed Life for you. Go to the Log Browser and click Paste, and put this in; don't forget to change Your Name Here to your character's name.

[{"spellNames": ["Blessed Life"], "eventTypes": [8]}, {"eventTypes": [1], "targetNames": ["Your Name Here"]}]

Then search for entries where a Hit and Proc entry are next to each other, for example:

[22:36:04.737] Chimaeron Massacre Persephøne 88171 (A: 811828)
[22:36:05.128] Persephøne gains 1 from Persephøne's Blessed Life

^^ amazing comments, definitly adding them.

I know you're probably not done editing, but don't forget to add Modulation under Atramedes and Flash Freeze under Maloriak.

I'm not done, but I wouldn't add this even if I were. Thanks mate <'3

[Nillo]

It used to work on Nef's Lightning Machine which was pretty awesome.

[eternalwhitemoon]

I assume you wouldn't forget to add it, or wouldn't forget. lol

It used to work on Nef's Lightning Machine which was pretty awesome.

Used to? Did they tweak it or did you stop speccing BL? Do you have any logs from when you DID have BL and were doing Nef, so that we can see what it procs from?

[Deleted]

btw in P1 on nefarian, when the only tank turns onyxia with her tail to the raid to avoid the electric stuff on her sides, her tailswipe generates holy power too

[eternalwhitemoon]

I also wouldn't call Static Shock 100% avoidable, since sometimes you're forced to move into melee because of the tornadoes.

I don't have logs to prove this, but so far we have listed from other posters:

Nefarian
Tail Swipe (Onyxia)
Shadowflame Barrage

[Nillo]

This only matters if you're healing the onyxia tank

Don't exactly remember, but I think I specced out of it because of that.

[iLive]

I wouldn't have made it this far without you guys, and especially not without you eternalwhitemoon. :] Thanks.

So Electrocute gives no HoPo?

NP.

It doesn't seem so. Again, I was specced out of BL before my guild got to Nef, so I don't have logs to sift through. If it still works, that'd be one of the first things people would have mentioned, so I suspect as Nillo said it worked initially, but then was altered in some way to stop working.

I could see why too--between Crackle and Shadowflame Barrage, that's a loooot of free Holy Power flying around. Probably felt too cheese-able and made us too efficient on that fight.

Edit: This is a really great, unbiased and informative topic. I think this should get stickied. (I also think I should try to cut down on editing myself a billion times. Oh well. One step at a time.)

Figured this was worth a new post, rather than (yet another) edit. I grabbed a log from Hendrixstorm, and confirmed:

Nefarian
Lightning Machine Electrocute (now confirmed! still works as of March 3)
Shadowflame Barrage (we already knew this, but it's nice to confirm via logs)
Tail Lash (same as above)

[Simca]

I'll definitely mention this in the guide sticky and add it to helpful topics.

As for making it its own sticky, we try not to go above a max number of stickies (which is why we unstickied the 'discussion' topics).

[Simca]

Some changes:
Arcane Annihilator (interuptable) - Spelling mistake on the word interruptible.
Acquiring Target (low chance to be targetted) - Should just say "low chance" here.

Flash Freeze - This should be a low chance.
Consuming Flames - This should be a low chance.

Shadow Nova (avoidable) - This should be interruptible.

Waterlogged - More appropriate to call this "Water Bomb" because the Waterlogged debuff doesn't trigger it, just the explosion of the bomb thrown. Could also mention there is a good chance to be hit by this.
Lava Seed - This is avoidable.

Stuff that doesn't proc it that should be removed with log proof:
Sonic Breath (avoidable) - http://www.worldoflogs.com/reports/2...ses&boss=41442
Sonar Bomb (avoidable) - http://www.worldoflogs.com/reports/2...ses&boss=41442
