Also, from what I've seen, the Beacon target has to be in line of sight of both you and the heal target in order to receive the heal. No, the Flash HoT does not go to the Beacon.

The extra healing from the Glyph does not go to your Beacon target. Only the original Holy Light heal would get Beaconed (and the originaly glyph heal to the tank). So, in your example, the tank would take 11,000 healing, not 14,000. To answer the question about the Glyph of Holy Light. The extra healing from the Glyph does not go to your Beacon target.

They are the domain of the "fresh" level 80's. Blizzard is adding a few new ones that are slightly harder (like ToC5 and the upcoming IC instances), but even those should be rather easy for raid-geared players.

First, let me say thank you. It's no coincidence that after I read your post on addons (specifically Healbot) I was suddenly able to raid, and WoW became a lot more fun. So thank you for that, and all the other hard work you put into this site. Secondly, I find Divine Plea to be a bit of a catch-22. On the fights where I'll need the extra mana, there aren't any good times to cut my healing in half. In fights where it's possible to do little healing for 15 seconds, I don't need the extra mana. Thirdly (first question), I was wondering how Glyph of Holy Light interacts with Beacon of Light. For example, say I beacon the tank. I cast Holy light on the rogue (stupid rogue took too much damage). 10,000 healing to the rogue, with another 1000 to everyone else in the party. Would the Tank get 11,000 healing (beaconed heal plus his part of the glyph) or 14,000 healing (beaconed heal plus his part of the glyph plus the beaconed heals of other people's part of the glyph)? And lastly (second question). I'm a good healer, but not great. I can handle TotC 10 man normal if the rest of the group is good as well, but I doubt I can do anything harder. I'm finding the way to get better gear is through the emblems, which partly come through the daily heroics. Which are way to easy. Shouldn't there be something to bump up the difficulty, even after heroic? I was yawning through DTK, and hardly have the best gear. What can Blizzard do about keeping dungeons fun for people that need them for the dailys?

Of course that's still some way from someone in a high end raid guild that has 40k mana raid buffed WITHOUT the proc. ;) Also, I've observed that Paladins in the top guilds on our server really don't stack SP that much, they are all hovering around 2600, letting int, raid buffs and those sexy Shaman totems do their thing.

You can avoid the 50% decrease in healing a few ways. You can use trinkets or Avenging Wrath during the duration. You can also pop it during lulls in the fight, transitions between phases, or anytime between major abilities. Lastly, you can ask for a little more help from another healer while its up if you need to. I can usually find a good time to use it where it doesn't hurt my healing too much. It regenerates a ton of mana. If you don't need the mana then you don't have to use it but you'll usually need the mana on those really challenging encounters. Divine Plea is a really nice ability.

Maybe I dont have enough +healing gear but I never use it for that reason and I don't ussually run out of mana too much. I rather use a pot than use Divine Plea. PS- Awesome guide, well done.
