Life Tap Rank 7 (580 Health, 580 mana) before talents and spell damage.
Flash of light: 180 mana, 1.5-2.2k health depending on +heal. Lifebloom: 226 mana, 1 cast, over upwards of 2k heal. Renew: 450 mana, upwards of 3k heal Healing Wave: 720 mana, resto spam rank 1, easyily heal over 5k.
Point, shaman are the only ones that it really affects in more than a blink of the eye, but if they just wait until sub 20%, they have probably the most efficient push.
So 12k Health lock, can generate ~3k mana in ~15 seconds (BEFORE SPELL DAMAGE), and have their healer cast one of the above for in some cases 1/30 the value of a mana potion. Get with it. Just to clarify, I'll add this edit.
Assuming you pot for 3k, the trade off for them life tapping is ~1/30 the value of a pot for the healer, for a full 30/30 pot for the warlock. Add in spell damage and talents and you get the same affect in under ~6 seconds, barely phasing raid dps. -- The History Channel rocks! ... you know it! |
