Beacon of Light
Last wiki revision 2023-07-09
Beacon of Light is a Holy paladin ability, designed to aid paladins in healing groups of players.
- By far, the most common target of this spell is the tank, since they will be taking the most damage, and therefore will always benefit from it. The paladin then casts heals on the other party members taking damage, which also heals the tank.
- The heal on the Beaconed target is delayed by about half a second, which can be dangerous in very healing-intensive situations.
- Both the casting range and the effect range of Beacon of Light are 60 yards, significantly larger than the normal 40 yards of most healing spells. This gives the Beacon several extra uses.
- Note that you must be within 60 yards of the target with Beacon of Light if you want them to receive your heals. If you are farther than 60 yards, you cannot heal the target with beacon, even if the player with the beacon is within 60 yards of someone you are healing.
- The effect of Beacon of Light DOES require that you have line of sight for BOTH the beacon AND your target. This can be a significant concern in certain fights.
