== Notes ==
  +
=== Using with Smite ===
  +
In this case you should note that besides increasing efficiency, Surge of Light also slightly affects effectiveness of Smite by taking 1 [[Cooldown#Global_Cooldown|Global cooldown]] to cast Smite with zero crit chance. The highest [[Damage per second|DPS]] gain from this talent is achieved with a critical strike chance of 29%. After this point, the effectiveness bonus slowly decreases with each additional percent crit chance. At 67% crit chance, Surge of Light actually decreases Smite DPS, although this is more of a theoretical value.

=== Using with Heal ===
  +
While note above still actual for "Surge healing", there is at least one more thing to take into consideration. You may wish to increase your mana efficiency with these mana-free casts, but doing that requires you to make additional instant cast and thus, use extra Global cooldown. As Flash Heal is minor (that is the main difference from "Surge Smiting", where you will cast the same Smite spell, not some minor variation) healing spell and provides relatively little heal, "Surge healing" may sometimes reduce your HpS. On other hand, you will often have some kind of instant-cast "emergency spell", if you get enough critical heals to keep Surge of Light buff up for most of the time. This instant-cast heal may be used when your common [[Power Word: Shield]] is unavailable, for example, due to [[Weakened Soul]] debuff. Consider these notes before deciding, if you want to spend your talent points in this way or not. This talent is very useful in pvp cause its instant cast ability could make the difference between life or death.

Notes

Using with Smite

In this case you should note that besides increasing efficiency, Surge of Light also slightly affects effectiveness of Smite by taking 1 Global cooldown to cast Smite with zero crit chance. The highest DPS gain from this talent is achieved with a critical strike chance of 29%. After this point, the effectiveness bonus slowly decreases with each additional percent crit chance. At 67% crit chance, Surge of Light actually decreases Smite DPS, although this is more of a theoretical value.

Using with Heal

While note above still actual for "Surge healing", there is at least one more thing to take into consideration. You may wish to increase your mana efficiency with these mana-free casts, but doing that requires you to make additional instant cast and thus, use extra Global cooldown. As Flash Heal is minor (that is the main difference from "Surge Smiting", where you will cast the same Smite spell, not some minor variation) healing spell and provides relatively little heal, "Surge healing" may sometimes reduce your HpS. On other hand, you will often have some kind of instant-cast "emergency spell", if you get enough critical heals to keep Surge of Light buff up for most of the time. This instant-cast heal may be used when your common Spell holy powerwordshield [Power Word: Shield] is unavailable, for example, due to Weakened Soul debuff. Consider these notes before deciding, if you want to spend your talent points in this way or not. This talent is very useful in pvp cause its instant cast ability could make the difference between life or death.
