By casting HL on a nearby melee or the OT, the MT receives the Beacon transfer PLUS the Glyph of Holy Light splash.<br /><br />If you heal the MT directly they only receive the initial heal.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04636578098305341522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20292755.post-91736902509734063532010-01-21T20:21:02.582-08:002010-01-21T20:21:02.582-08:00@Vailladin:

We didn't test it in arena specifically, but in Darnassus (so we wouldn't lose points, just in case it didnt work ;P). My brother stood at the arena queue, i was up a level behind a pillar, but within 60yds for sure. I think we also tested it on something else, but i can't remember anything else.<br /><br />It is possible that we just made a mistake somehow, but we figured Beacon being unLoSable would make it extremely overpowered in arena. I'll gladly test it again when i can find a handy holy pally ;)Tyranoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20292755.post-17336487683949114922010-01-21T17:12:28.485-08:002010-01-21T17:12:28.485-08:00Used this on Blood Prince Council last night. Mys...Used this on Blood Prince Council last night. Myself and the other paladin healer beaconed the tank on Keleseth and focused our heals on the other two tanks. With both healers remaining fairly stationary and pumping heals into their targets + their beacon target we didn't need a third tank healer and they were free to run around gathering blue berries without worrying about range issues.Dardrethilnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20292755.post-74202817755974004492010-01-21T11:38:26.344-08:002010-01-21T11:38:26.344-08:00Tyra, it worked for me fighting the Forgemaster in...Tyra, it worked for me fighting the Forgemaster in PoS so maybe they did something to it in arena or there was something else going on range wise.

Tried it out to see if it would work in arena, because my pally friend fails at dodging mana burns. Turns out it won't heal if he's out of LoS, probably for the same reason we wanted to abuse it.Tyranoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20292755.post-15729920173675821802010-01-21T07:05:05.551-08:002010-01-21T07:05:05.551-08:00I use Beacon this way all the time.

I have done exactly this in that fight because no one ran behind the rock. I was behind it and was out of LoS on everyone so I kept the tank up by healing myself and the DPS learned a lesson.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20292755.post-48955381711985684412010-01-21T05:49:20.232-08:002010-01-21T05:49:20.232-08:00Thanks for those tips.

If they are getting heals from your Beacon, you can refresh without moving.Rohanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09090769681887119989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20292755.post-85689391320580328792010-01-21T03:12:13.226-08:002010-01-21T03:12:13.226-08:00Beacon is great on fights like Emalon and the twin...Beacon is great on fights like Emalon and the twin worms on Beasts, where the tanks can be fairly spread apart.
