The upcoming nerfs hit Well of Radiance hard, with a multi-pronged set of changes to its survivability, including healing and damage reduction received while in the area. Damage resistance gets a sharp cut: down to just 20 percent against non-boss enemies and a mere 10 percent damage resistance against bosses, as opposed to its usual 40 percent. The heal per second is also trimmed by half, from 100 HP to 50 HP\u2014the same as two stacks of Restoration.<\/p>
The tradeoff is guardians can now move around without worrying about losing their Radiant buff. Exiting the Well itself will grant Radiant for eight seconds, allowing guardians to be more mobile. As a corollary to the gargantuan changes, Well can generate an extra Orb of Power while within its radius and will heal players by 300 HP on cast.<\/p>
Well of Radiance’s survivability could make a fireteam essentially immortal within its radius in most cases, paired with a strong damage bonus while inside the area. This made it a must-have pick in most PvE activities, especially on the higher end of the difficulty spectrum. It also led to anchored gameplay, however, where players would huddle inside the Well of Radiance area.<\/p>
