Group Ward

<p>Does anyone know the effective range on the group ward? What I'm asking is after I cast the group ward I am assuming it radiates from myself as the center point and protects everyone in an area around me. Whats the range on that?</p>

<p>I haven't actually checked it, but I'd assume it would be something like 25m.  The easiest way to check this would be:</p><p>1.  Turn off all other buffs.  (Just to make it easier to see)</p><p>2.  Summon dogdog, tell him to "stay".</p><p>3.  Target dogdog.</p><p>4.  Cast Group Ward.</p><p>5.  Back away slowly until you see it disappear from dogdog.</p>

<p>Thats a good idea. I will have to do that.</p>

<p>If you examine the spell it says Effect Radius : 25 meters</p>

<p>Hello, fellow Mystics I am not in game today but i believe the 25 meter range is for when you cast the spell. I have cast it on our pet and sent him into combat outof range of our spells and he seems to be covered (does not take damage and ward is being used up). Granted hes not out of range for long as I use him to tank when hunting solo in heal spec in between groups, but it does seem to work once cast past the 25m range. Will confirm this next time I am online.</p>

<p>25m is definitely the initial "max range".  You can be up to 25m away and still get hit with the Group Ward at the time it gets cast.</p><p>There is definitely a "max effective" range as well.  I've had tanks actually run out from under the Group Ward when pulling.  It's especially noticeable in the Essence Well in Palace of Ferzhul when the tank has to swim way out to pull some of those mobs.  Single Ward seems to stick on them until the duration expires, but I've never really paid a ton of attention to it.</p>
