Shine Down On Me

     There are a few toys out there that serve a purpose beyond the norm.  That is, they're useful in the game besides being a guardian or increasing your stats in some way.  I know quite a few raid leaders that use different smoke flares (In Red, White, Purple, and Green).  However, they're not always as easy to see when you've got a lot of people running around in a boss fight.  They're great for explanations, don't get me wrong, but they rarely last for the duration of the fight (unless your guild is just that good, at which point I doubt you'd need the visual aids in the first place).
    So what do you use when you need a big, visible focal point for your raiders? 


    Archaeology!  Specifically, you use the Druid and Priest Statue Set, a rare project from the Night Elf school of archaeology.  While it doesn't last nearly as long as the flares do, it does provide a huge beam of light over the user.  Now, I know Blizzard didn't intend for archaeology (or any secondary profession) to be required for endgame, but it seems to me that this, while not explicitly required, is definitely a huge boon to raiders everywhere. 
     During any boss fight where a mechanic requires you to stack up, this can be activated to give people a clear signal of where to go.  For any healer about to use an AoE heal in an emergency situation, this can be included in a macro.  Raiders can see the beam of green and white light and know to run in for healing.
     The only major drawback is that it's on a 15 minute cooldown, so it would realistically only be usable once per person per boss fight.  But even so, it's not a bad idea to have it available for a quick visual aid.
     I'm sure most raiders could be easily taught that whenever they see the light, run into it.  Every time.  Stacking together to avoid a mechanic or recieve an AoE heal can save you a lot of headaches over time.
     To get this, you'll have to collect 100 Night Elf Fragments, which may include up to 3 keystones.  Since you can pretty much start archaeology with Night Elf projects, you've got a decent chance of getting this together.  And you can always farm it to death, if necessary.
     Enjoy!
