Beacon of light exploit

[Barachiel]

This might not be one of the most useful exploits, but it's an exploit nontheless, which has helped me a bit. As a newly dinged paladin in crappy gear.

As most paladins know, Beacon of light is quite expensive to cast.
But here's a little trick. When you sit down and drink, you can cast the spell without interrupting the drinking.

This means that you may cast Beacon of Light on the tank/whatever as they charge in to kill a boss, when you remain sitting and drinking, to regain that mana.

Cast a Sacred shield, a holy light for lights grace, begin drinking and cash Beacon of Light when you're almost at 100%.

In the end, you'll have:

Sacred Shield and
Beacon of light on the tank
and you'll have your next Holy Light cast time reduced by 0.5 Seconds.

And still be at 100% mana.

and all this time i though Divine Plea - Spell - World of Warcraft was meant to be the mana helper

Since 3.1 you can cast BoL while drinking you're right, I saw it last week.
Anyway +rep for posting it, imo it can be useful.

PS: Just for information I think they made this change because beacon used to interupt mana regeneration of your target when he was drinking.

Good tip to save 1 mana drink

Nice, As a holy paladin I'll find this pretty useful +Rep

[ironcoffin]

I guess this is useful but then again I never go OOM in any fight

[latchee]

Well a paladin who has mana issues, it is really quite unusual !

[fwen]

Not really a bugg but yeah its useful

[rezinous]

Yeah thx 1 less thing to worry about casting before drinking

Thats cool, but unfortunately, I don't have a paladin which makes it kinda useless for me...
