OK, this is a second Beacon of Light, so we can heal things, while we heal things, while we heal things.

It's also amazing that you can heal up to four group or raid member with one Word of Glory.
Your target, the two beacon of light an yourself via Glyph of Protector of the Innocent.

This will be a powerful boost to multi-target healing for a Paladin. I can see this being the talent of choice in large raids.

Comment by Blackward

Are you tired of switching your Beacon of Light target every time the tanks switch? Good news! This talent is for you. Beacon both tanks and focus on raid heals. Set it, and forget it!

Or, for the five-man world, this functions like the old Protector of the Innocent (the one that healed you EVERY time you healed someone else). Beacon tank, beacon yourself, stand in all the fire, and profit!

It's called Beacon of Faith because you cast it on the person you have no faith in.

Comment by TheDancingTree

If you're the type of healer who tends to be so ~~daft~~ selfless that you forget to heal yourself, like me, then how I generally use this spell could be useful to you, dear reader.

I put Beacon of Faith (This) on myself, and Beacon of Light (The original beacon) on the tank. So the tank is still receiving the benefits all of my heals, but so am I, and I don't have to worry about keeping myself up. There's nothing worse than that moment where you have to decide between saving yourself or a group member as a healer, and thankfully this spell can avoid that!

When I know I won't be taking too much damage myself, though, I beacon swap quite liberally with Beacon of Faith. It's an excellent tool to have handy, and if used correctly, almost every single heal you give can benefit two (If not three!) people. That's handy, right?

Does Recount add BOF into the total for BOL ? I am beginning to think so.

Firstly, because if BOF is NOT included anywhere, then with the missing BOF heals, my holydin heals for far, far more than my other healers on similar same fights.

Secondly, I just healed a single mob in a 5-man. I had BOL on me, BOF on the rogue. The rogue took major damage/heals. After the fight, Rogue healing taken showed lots of BOL (72%) and no BOF.

I use this on myself and the vanilla beacon on the tank. Then with taking damage away from the rest of the raid, and spamming Light of the Martyr everywhere, I'm still getting my health recharged to keep both going well.

Mark a second target as a Beacon, mimicking the effects of Beacon of Light. Your heals will now heal both of your Beacons, but at 30% reduced effectiveness.
