Fists of Light Shield - when it does NOT work?

[Odin's_Hugin]

I'd like the answer to the question above, as Im considering TR'ing from my dark monk into a Light monk Human with Void strike lines, healing amps and some more health-like stuff (bracers of demons consort + conc. opposition with superior and greater regeneration) and I would like to know how useful my healing shield would be when I need it on bosses. Ty.

I think it helps a bit when soloing but not very much in groups, especially raids.

In normal quests things just die to fast for you to get more than 3-8 HPs back and in raids on bosses the little healing you get back is usally superseded and unneeded because the clerics are spamming mass heals.

When doing rare runs out in Amrath/Reaver Refuge I think it definately helps lengthen the time between Wholeness of Body sit-downs.

Fists of Light is a curse, so it won't work on creatures with Curse Immunity, which means Pit Fiends and Horned Devils.

In a raid, the prime healing benefit of a light monk is that he casts Aligning the Heavens on the Clerics.

Only Pit Fiends and Horned Devils? So even if I fight a purple or red boss, does it still land?

It does on the end boss in Tempest Spine, at least.
