Discussion: Share the Power on healing classes

I thought I remembered a thread like this a while ago. Do any of y'all have problems using Share the Power on mini's and rk's? I lose the power but the other class doesn't receive any.

I think they get it (after some urgent stress testing atop ToO!) but the display does not update. Having said that, we were a trifle busy at the time to check logs etc especially as a CJ popped around then. What have others seen?

I've seen this happen not only on healing classes, have sent and waited to see the bar go up for at least 10 seconds when this happened and nothing. It's either a major updating fail in our screen or it just doesn't share the power.

Usually it happens some moments later or maybe you don't notice it, because most power bars are huge on healers, so you would only add a small % of their max amount.

I have rarely seen a big change in the other's bar, but have heard afterwards that so and so appreciated the boost so they must see it.
Also, like equipment with higher "Incoming Healing" to receive a bigger share of the morale transfer, are there any factors that would effectively reduce the share of the power transfer they receive? I doubt it but am curious.

The epic battle to keep a healer's power bars full often appears depressing. One of our regular raid healers has over 10K of the blue stuff.

So, it doesn't tend to show up quite so much as when I fill a guardian or captain who have just a couple of thousand.

As far as I can tell it's working fine, at least our healers aren't complaining they need power very often.

Accounting for the lag time between sharing power and seeing the number go up, the share power issue seems to have decreased significantly for me. The huge amount of will/fate/icpr minis and rks have now has also helped. I've noticed this on my own newly 75 mini, that even without an LM in the group, power is not as big an issue as I thought it would be.

I find cappies are frequently much more in need of power than main healers are, the longest boss fights aside. Since keeping hunters, burgs and champs blue bars filled is easy, and shortens fights as they can keep up the big dps skills, I like the balance now. Of course, this is just raiding with my kin and I never pug. I'm sure mileage varies!

I reckon Captains are probably now #2 on my list for recharge needs and certainly I find that my cappy runs out of blue faster than I recall used to be the case, probably because the stats are now so minimax.
