Interesting Solar Beam Feature
by Sunfyre on Dec.04, 2010, under Cataclysm, PVP Discussion
Playing around in Durotar today, I was able to confirm some rumors about [spell]78675[/spell].
Not only does Solar Beam silence the affected area for 10 seconds, it also provides a 5 second spell pool lockout.
More interestingly enough, the [item]Glyph of Solar Beam[/item] extends the duration of the Solar Beam effect by 10 seconds, it also increases the spell pool lockout to a whopping 10 seconds.
I also happened to note that if you lock out a frost mage’s frost pool, they can’t ice block.

Latest on Mon, 10:14 am: Not really, but treants get worse.
: Hey Sunfyre. I get the legendary Meta soon. Does anything Major change when i get to gem? Statweights, Playstyle. thx
: Wait, what you just said doesn't make sense. What makes us go straight to 20 energy? With SotF it takes 2 casts to reach lunar. 2 casts to reach solar. Without SotF it takes 3, correct me if i'm wrong.
: Sorry, I don't understand where your getting the 20 from, 100 80 60 40 20 0 40 80 100 or sotf 100 80 60 40 20 0 (40 sf + 40 sotf) 80 120 ??
: Hi sunfyre, how would you say the 4p t15 will be with SoTF? Does that also maybe make mastery more valuable?
: Hey Sunfyre. I'm trying to wrap my head around what you've been saying about SotF. How exactly does it not reduce Starfire casts by 1?
: Started a Druid....3 days ago or something like that.... Anyways i got to lvl 60 and im not using gear SETS so much as im using the things that look especially helpful such as Int and Spir Stacke, Occasionally with some 14-15 haste involved..... Im not one of those guys who go out and get the best pve/pvp gear But i really need some help..... im a resto balance mix and well my hits are only doing about 5K at lvl 60 :/ what sohuld i do?

Glyph gives 5 sec more of duration

Yes, but it’s confusing as the glyph specifically states silence duration and not lockout.

Lock out Holy on a Paladin and they’re a fancy melee totem.

My entire game-play is focused on the 10 sec lockout the glyph gives.
Mages can’t iceblok.
Paladins can’t use hammer of wrath.
Hand of gul = entire lock, lockdown.
Against all the other hybrids (who do way more damage) it’s definitely the move to kill them. Low hp > healing > solar beam > win > hear QQ about solar beam
