Power Infusion: the other smite priest friend
I went over the benefits of Surge of Light for the smite priest the other day, but there’s the other talent that’s smack in the middle of the Discipline tree that’s almost as quintessential: Power Infusion. It’s also a boon for the straight Discipline healing priest.
There are standard uses forPower Infusion, like when you’re chucking out your Smite spells or trying to get a fast ninja heal in. I’m not going to go over those. Instead, I thought I would point out four uncommon and yet beneficial uses of Power Infusion:
- Mana Burn. Let Power Infusion speed up your Mana Burn rate in PvP.
- Another DPS. Unless I’m in an epeen war while smiting, I find that dropping Power Infusion on another DPS caster is the best way to go. It’s saved me before from close-call enrage timers.
- Another healer. Paladin healers that are cranking out the single target heals on a tank benefit from Power Infusion and will love you forever. Sometimes it’s best to hand it to them if you’re HoTing.
- With Divine Hymn. Divine Hymn does a great job by itself, but if you throw Power Infusion on it, the healing rate is nothing short of ridiculous. You’ll be awed at your HPS during that time.
What are some of your favorite situations for Power Infusion? A couple weeks ago, we had a mage that two Discipline priests were alternating Power Infusion on — along with Heroism — and he doubled DPS in comparison to the rest of the raid. Score!
Enjoy your Power Infusion!
