Getting the most out of Flash

Re: Getting the most out of Flash

Flashing 10 seconds after the Paladin is fantastic, and is absolutely the best way to go.

Flash does draw a fair amount of hate, its just Paladins cast it wearing alot of enmity, while WHMs cast it wearing alot of - enmity. Over all the added enmity barely effects a WHM, since it saves them from having to cast an additonal cure III and the Paladin loses less hate from not getting hit. Its still a win win situation even though it does generate hate.

Since everyone seems to agrees on casting after the Paladin this is probably a moot point, but based on my enmity testing, I learned a few things.
1. Flash doesn't overwrite Flash.
2. Flashing over someone else's flash, doesn't generate anywhere near the amount of hate flash will generate when it lands. This is the main reason I love the WHM flashing after the Paladin.
3. Flash can be resisted, but even when resisted to still seems to generate the same amount of hate as if it landed.

I really wish more WHMs would flash more often.

I'm not so sure on #2. I've seen a "failed to take effect" Flash turn mobs by a fair margin.

I have turned hate with holy circle, a no effect flash still draws hate but its significantly less.

You can test it with two Paladins fairly easily.
