Focused Benefaction

LdyVesta · 03-17-2005, 07:50 AM

I just hit lvl 50 and I have to say I'm very dissapointed with FB. It doesn't seem to recast itself like the description states, it doesn't heal for ~that~ much and while it's on I can't cast anything. Am I missing something here? Is there a way to use this spell and make it worthwhile?

It is a wonderful spell when used in a raid situation.You cast all your debuffs, greater intercession and then crucial intercession, THEN you cast focused benefaction.The result is a triple stack of reactivish heals on the raid tank. Rinse and repeat.

I find it to mostly be a raid utility heal or for exp groups if I want to be lazy for about 30 secs.

Stacking this with Crucial Intercession on initial pulls and encounters with lots of adds (assuming only one person is tanking it all) this will shoot your MT up in the green really fast. Its also beneficial if you have another Templar on GI so you can focus on FB and CI. For raids I generally do CI + FB, then CI while it refreshes, and do any instant spot heals or debuffs I'm on, then repeat with CI + FB.

I do agree that it wasn't really a WOW spell like alot of other Lv 50 spells but I guess thats how it goes.
