Lightwell nerf on PTR

[Shampue]

Lightwell now restores [ 11820 + 6% of Spell Power ] health over 6 sec, down from [ 12848 + 15% of Spell Power ]

Seriously? I know its minor but seriously? As if this ability isn't already underused or abused.

Anyways.... Seriously?

It was being over-used by more serious guilds and was too strong. QQ. Still worth glyphing.

For some reason I was expecting the reason to be Arena lol

[Thrayne]

Pretty sure it was with arena, you could lay a well behind a pillar and Life grip your partner and both be back to full within seconds.

Isn't it always though?

I'm kind of planning to give Disc another shot so this change is kind of ineffectual for me, but still.
I have issues getting people to click the stupid thing I was kind of hoping it would stay a little powerful.
More importantly though, the nerf to Prayer of healing. ._.

[[-Spiritus-]]

Solution? Destroy well. It has HP and can be targeted by enemy players.

I highly doubt this was a PvP based nerf. I'd venture its a preemptive strike on unreasonable scaling in PvE [for T12, T13, etc].

[zenkai]

I think this is the first time in 4 years I seen LW get a nerf lmao

Danner posted the reason for this "nerf," which is actually a fix:

The lightwell change is actually a bugfix. It currently is multiplied by 1.25 due to Spiritual Healing (holy passive). This passive was nerfed to 15% a long time ago, but they forgot to change lightwell. Just check out the wowhead listings. Now it's where blizzard wanted it.

[Hresna]

pretty disapointing that it`s taken 4 years to train people to actually click the bloody lightwell for a pretty sweet heal and now they're already nerfing it... I guess it was a nice incentive while it lasted... /sigh

Lightwell did not get nerfted...

Blue Post: Lightwell hasn't been changed at all. The tooltip was incorrect and stated it healed for more than it actually did.

People need to stop overreacting and think the sky is falling anytime they see numbers drop. A lot of the "nerfs" you see were adjustments made at some point in hotfixes that they needed to patch in. Or stuff that was incorrectly listed at the very start. Also, stop taking datamined information as being 100% factual. Even Boub states that it may or may not be fully accurate and to take it with a grain of salt.

Here's a link to the blue post that I quoted from for those who can't be bothered to look it up: http://us.battle.net/wow/en/forum/to...96808?page=1#8

Anyways.... Seriously?

If you actually get your raid to click on the lightwell frequently it's actually pretty damn amazing.

Zarhym says it wasn't nerfed, its tooltip was just displaying the wrong numbers.

[Tavin]

Was actually expecting a nerf to it Oo. It ticks for 5 times, 7k each and you can use it while being stunned (halfus hardmode roar etc)

But she does work so hard!
Not a nerf, not a point to the thread. Closed -- Kel
