Bug alert: Lightwell bug in World of Warcraft

A bug in World of Warcraft was discovered and it’s hindering priests in casting Lightwell. This priest spell has a 1.5 second cast time with six-minute cooldown. When used, it creates a Lightwell within 40 yards of the priest (with a duration of three minutes or five charges, depending on which comes first) that members of his party or raid can click on to heal them over time.

While the priests can’t spam the ability, the players who are accessing the Lightwell apparently can. However, a major problem is the fact that the healing effects don’t stack so players who keep clicking on it will only get the effects of one heal while wasting the rest of the charges.

Blizzard QA Hortus has already been informed of the problem and is looking into it. Until it has been fixed, priests who use the ability should make sure to warn their players about over-clicking the Lightwell, to ensure everyone gets healed properly.
