Even though the cast of the spell will be faster you will still have to wait 1.5 seconds of the global cooldown to cast your next heal. Plus the uncertainty of when you will get the proc makes using it effectively difficult. I always thought this gems was more useful for a class like mages for their 6.0 second Pyroblasts. Can you explain why you like this gem in more detail? |
I would also like some further insight and discussion about
[Mystical Skyfire Diamond]. I have been using
[Insightful Earthstorm Diamond] ever since I got my Tier 4 helm from Prince all those many months ago, and I have found it to be extremely underwhelming. I have read a few posts here on Elitist Jerks where healers swear by
[Mystical Skyfire Diamond] being hands down the best possible meta gem for healers, and I would like to know their reasoning. As it stands, as soon as Archimonde finally drops another protector token for my Tier 6 helm, I am most definitely going to socket it with the half-cast gem just to test out the theory. It would be nice to get some input from players who already have extensive experience with this gem though.
