[PRIEST SPIRIT TAP] Proc Spirit Tap after not killing anything!

[Slaughto]

So, I was on my newly made priest, and I decided to pick up Jewel crafting. I had a bunch of rough stones in my bank so I made those little stone statues. I threw one down, healed me, and much to my surprise, after the statue disappeared, I got the talent buff Spirit Tap. When I checked in the combat log, it even showed that I actually gained the buff (Spirit Tap).

Hope this comes in handy!!

ehh...

This is never going to come in handy, sorry.

Same could be said about rep tradin, mate.

And I could see this as being handy. When I leveled my rogue and JC together, I usually had about 20-40 of those lil guys in my bags from leveling JC.

Just drop one of em when you mass pull (larger than a normal mass pull), and not only do you get the heals from the statue, but you'll get extra mana regen when it dies.

I'd call that handy.

My spin on this.
Heals, try speccing into disp and putting some points into spirit tap.
If this works could potentially be one of the best healing exploits in the game for priests. Again if it works this is an applicable use.

+Rep You guys have no idea how useful this is. Its basically like a mana tide totem, when oom just drop one, there IS a 2 min cooldown and they are ridiculously cheap to make.

EDIT: My bad, there is a CD, 2 mins

As others have said before me, just because you can't see the usefulness of an exploit, doesn't mean others can't.

As octech said, a disc/holy spec can most likely drop 3 points to get Spirit Tap and have a stack or 2 of these statues in their inventory (doesn't even have to be the best statue probably).
Whenever they could use some extra mana they drop this and voila, 12 seconds later they got approx 125% mana regen while casting (can't remember how mana regen %'s stack, but they got the 50% mana from passive talent and 83% from Spirit Tap), only problem with them is that they're on CD with Healthstones (atleast its better than with Health pots =D)

To pqs:
They do have a CD, like many other things its 2 mins, however they can be used more than once in combat, hence its a 2 min mini-mana tide

And just to make an attempt at calculating the mana regen, either its:
83% + 50% = 133%
or
(1 - (1 - 0.83) * (1 - 0.5)) * 100% = 91.5%

Unless my calculations are off, its a pretty huge mana regen buff in either case (while casting)
And on top of that, BONUS SPIRIT!

I like it ,been thinkin about leveling a priest and now i know what profs to go =D+Rep

[Kazin420]

Useful exploit is useful +rep

[l4m0r]

now you can skill spirit tap as holy priest if you have jc!

[Slaughto]

Mostly what I was thinking, is the fact that if you get close to OOM in a raid, throw one of those down, and bam! You've got mana back! Best of all, the 2 min CD means you can use more then once in a fight.

Now I was also thinking of arena, but I dont know if these are banned in arena. If not, you could throw one down and get a bit of mana back as well.

really would like to see a youtube video of this. Hope my input helped

"Jewel crafting"

just tried. with everyone of the different type of stone statues. either hot fixed or was bs.

you know what. this is 100% useless for 80s. i just realized, maybe this still does work. but theyre gray for 80s. and the buff requires you to kill something within your level range.
