Spirit Tap gives you a 100% chance to gain a 100% bonus to your Spirit after killing a target that yields experience or honor. Does this include targets killed while healing only in a group?

I pretty much only do instances with my 70 Priest (holy now but considering Disc).

This talent would be worth a few talent points if I got the bonus everytime someone in my group killed a target.

I don't know if it has changed, but as far as I know, no that isn't how it works. You have to land the killing blow on the mob to get spirit tap to activate.

Thanks for the quick answer.

Shortly after I hit the post button I found:


However, it does require you to get the killing blow, which will rarely happen if the priest is in a group as healer unless the priest has impeccable timing.

I took spirit tap (because i still have icecrown and storm peaks to finish) and the rest of the talents for healing (med+IF/guardian spirit). I found that i get spirit tap pretty often in the spider wing in naxx. Lots of AoE at trash, the adds at bosses. I usually can get one kill there. Holy Nova and SW:D ftw.

Maybe in heroics that will not help too much, but it's really a must have if you still do normal quests. (Dailies don't require too much killing).

The other part of Spirit Tap is Improved Spirit Tap. All that requires is a Mind Blast or Shadow Word: Death crit. While healing, this won't happen too terribly often, but there's always the chance to toss one out. It's only a 10% boost to Spirit and 20% if Spirit-based regen, but it's better than nothing. Couple that with Bangles of Many Blessings (still have mine) and Meditation and you're (conceivably) looking at 70% of mana regen while casting. :)

And if you're really bored, Inner Focus + Mind Blast for that extra juicy bonus to crit chance.
