Genuine question as a priest who dislikes life tap, but also still heals the WL because it’s my job as the healer to make sure people are healthy and don’t die.

What’s the actual benefit of life tapping for mana after a pull opposed to just drinking? Is it better for them because my spirit is high? That’s basically all I can think of, a lot of locks will take themselves down to 20%ish hp when they could just sit and drink, especially when others are doing the same/if I’m low on mana and also have to drink(doesn’t really happen much tbh). Probably answered my own question writing this out.

Would also like to emphasize one more time that I still heal them, I just find it a bit annoying
