    It hasn't worked right since wrath. Imo it isn't useful at all for "oh my god the tank is about to die". Best used for "Hey I need some extra healing".

    To say it has never worked right is completely inaccurate. It has a learning curve, and needs a priest who can react fast enough to the "oh my god the tank is about to die".

    Using it for extra healing is awesome too, in tough situations where everyone is in danger at once, I drop GS on the tank to boost the passive healing/healing of other healers and work on the raid. Multitasking ftw.

    I obviously reacted fast enough or the spell wouldn't be on cooldown and say that it was on the tank. Yet he still died. That is a problem on blizzards end that needs fixing.

    The spell going on cooldown but not triggering is an inherent problem between client-server relations. Ardent Defender works exactly the same way. As does any healing effect. Themos pointed this out earlier:

    You can't "fix" this without making the game single player.

    You can't fix server lag. But you can reimburse the cooldown in case the server know you are too late.

    Never rolled with holy on my priest, but I've had latency eat Nature's Swiftness + Greater Healing Waves on targets that have died with no healing registered in the logs often enough. Makes me sad all day too.

    I think to myself, "Oh god people are STILL crying about that addon?" Click on the link and it's about Guardian Spirit. /sigh of relief
    This exact thought ran through my head. Those two letters used as an acronym still piss me off.

    That would indeed seem the least they can do.

    Absolutely. It is especially annoying if you say, just had a tank death while GS was cast but did nothing, and say a plate DPS taunts to kill off the boss/combat res the original tank. Then you'd really like to actually use GS, but can't.

    Had this happen a hundred times. Not just tanks, happens in PVP etc. And yes, also had it where I GS a tank and then a Paladin does LoH and its like -.- well that was a good use of 3 minutes.
