ANybody try this? Looks pretty weak to me....

I have it and I rarely use it. It's a power hog. It's fun sometimes when I don't have to heal a ton, but it doesn't contribute significantly to my DPS. It takes 87 power every time I cast a beneficial spell, and it only does 151-251 damage each hit.

While it is definitely a power hog, and impractical if you have issues with power, it IS a significant source of DPS, usually #3 for me behind Thunderbolt and Starnova on 2200+ dps parses. It accounts for between 12-15% of my total dps.

I'm new to using this AA and can't seem to get it to work right.

1) What is the radius on the ability?

2) Do I have to be attacking to mob for it to work or can I just be healing?

3) What's its resistablity or does it have none?

My intention for getting the AA was to add in some decent DPS while spamming cures & HOTs. I do massive-lag-fest-round-ups on my 2box SK and this AA seemed to fit my play style but it seems to only hit 1-2 mobs and gets resisted often. I figured as long as the Fury was on the mobs hate list that I could spam a little ae near them. I thought it would have had a 5m radius but it seems to only work within 1m(ish).

Any help is appreciated.

The description is a bit missleading if you don't read it properly. It is not an area effect spell, it hits A target in the area of effect for every person effected by a beneficial spell. If you are duoing with a shadowknight, curing, single target regenning, and single target healing will cause it to hit 1 mob each. Your group spells (fae pyre, hibernation, group heal, group regen) will cause it to hit 2. Conversely, if you are in a group of 6, these group spells will make it hit a mob 6 times. If you are in a group with 5 summoners and yourself, it will hit 11 times hehe.

It is highly resistable, like call of crap, and does zap power for each trigger (Ie. if you take advangtage of group heals in a full group, it will zap a lot of power) but that's the price you pay to have the additional dps. It basically turns Hibernation and Fae Pyre into a third and forth nuke at your disposal with huge power costs.

Thanks for clearing that up for me.

I hate how almost any end ablity is worded so that you have to re-read it 50 times to get the meaning. hehe. Thanks much though.

Edit: I'd assume it will trigger from heal procs such as orb earring, orb of truth, or maybe the heal proc from STR line?

Yes. It also procs on manastone. SMILEY

It will also get you killed if you are soloing with it on. It procs on anything in range, including non-aggro mobs as I found out soloing the Ridgestone jobbies in Barren Sky and was getting Mystic adds on me all the time without using Ring of Fire.

while infusion will proc off manastone it does NOT proc off other procs like orb of healing, tunic of dark winds, claymore etc. In those situations, you are not the one casting the beneficial spell so it is different.

Special effects don't proc off other procs.
