The only thing standing between you and run from the graveyard is this spell. Learn, love it, live it.

Comentario de Nuri

Great for running away or at lower lvls,when fighting npc's you can use this to stop attacks from slowing down spell casting. Also can help you keep a player alive when your a healer for a group.

Can anyone say how much the shield benefits from +heal gear?

Comentario de 32277

I've gotta say, this entire spell line is pretty godly. Cast until enemy arrives, keep it up, if hurt bubble, heal, cast/melee, etc, repeatedly. Awesome spell.

Always wanted to know... does PW:S absorb before or after armor mitigation and other reductions?? ie. is it a waste on plate wearers taking only physical damage?

Comentario de 63872

part of the preists bread and butter moves wheather its for no spell iteruption or just pissing people off in pvp this move is the more

Comentario de wolfblood

The purge of the shaman can dispell this from a priest ?

Comentario de 71000

It can also be dispelled by other priests.

Comentario de SeaOfHoles

As of 2.3, PW:S receives a 30% bonus from +heal, so I think the new numbers are

Assuming 1000 +heal, (1315 + 0.30 * 1000) * 1.15 = 1857.25, up from 1742.25.
Assuming 2000 +heal, (1315 + 0.30 * 2000) * 1.15 = 2202.25, up from 1972.25.

Arcane shot dispels this before dealing damage.
However it is still way too overpowered against warriors in 1 on 1.

Comentario de 290407

May sound like a rant but as a prot pally in 5 mans, I hate priest healers because of this spell. I run oom because instead of avoiding or taking in dmg I am absorbing it.

I don't know how priest heals work but if at all save this spell for boss pulls only, most trash don't do a lot of dmg and I for one like to chain pull but can't when I am sitting at 10 - 5% mana

Comentario de 30706

Is it fair to assume this would absorb somewhere in the neighborhood of 3500 damage at lvl 80 with ~2000 sp and talented?

Comentario de 325041

is this spell still horrible for casting on tanks, as it removes aggro, or creates a lot of aggro to the priest?

Comentario de airtonix

No. if you're finding that you're :

pulling aggro from shielding ANYONE
tank not generating rage while shielded.

Then leave group because you don't actually have a tank.

Comentario de dreadblood

this is great because the debuff is gone before the spell ends

Comentario de 300483

While Power Word: Shield is active, do warriors and bear druids gain rage from being hit?

Comentario de 42886

...a shielded bear or warrior DOES gain rage from being hit, its a reduced amount compared to unshielded...

I suspect the rage gained is from blocking/parrying/dodging incoming attacks (see the earlier comment by Nuronv). The rage loss you notice would be from the damage you are not taking (absorbed by the shield).

Comentario de typ0

Most importantly, it prevents you from getting dazed while active!

Comentario de 365880

Also, if you have Glyph of Power Word: Shield, the healing it causes can crit.

You don't get any extra healing from it, but it can activate Divine Aegis for a double bubble.

Comentario de battlet3chvx

With spellpower flask, 4 piece tier8 (+250 spellpower), and full raid buffs my PWSs absorb between 7800-8000 damage. This is of course with over 3000 spellpower raid buffs.

Bubble spamming is extremely powerful on fights where there's near constant AOE and you can simply go down the raid list and cast PWS on raid members.

You'll never run OOM either because your screen is just spammed with Rapture procs. ;)

Comentario de 161867

I was curious as to how damage was calculated and it it were affected by other damage reducing effects. Say you have PW:S up and your tank has shield wall up. Does that mitigation translate into the shield and make it last longer, or are "reducing damage taken" effects such as that, strictly for just that, actual damage?

Comentario de 419930

Nice spell i would like to know for sure if the damge u can make it do is just for priest or for anyoen and lets say your in a raid and some lv ? hits you for way more damge than the sheild holds does it not damge you at al for that one attack and if it does would it relflect 50 % of *that damage? i'd realy like to know

Comentario de 363646

I hate when Warriors and Druids still say too you, dont shield me. As it is mentioned that in patch 3.1 warriors/druids gain rage from the shield.
I can't still convince them to use my shield, because as full discipline it makes my roll a lot easier.

Comentario de 328241

ok so how bout pally tanks then? as in mana regen...

1. Pallies seldom have mana problems now.
2. Rapture gives mana when it breaks

Comentario de 134998

Power Word: Shield is crazy in ICC with the zone-wide buff being applied.

http://www.worldoflogs.com/reports/mo89qcxaja6oh29q/spell/56160/?s=12195&e=13039

This WoL parse shows a Discipline Priest's Glyph of Power Word: Shield healing for an average of 2115 on the Lich King encounter.

2115 / 0.2 = 10575 damage absorption. Wow.

Comentario de 623147

I've been looking at this for a while... Say about 40 minutes. And I still don't get how it's useful to anyone but the caster. I mean, it can get you out of tricky situations, provided you buff the hell out of it via the Disc tree. When completely buffed it provides about 7350 dmg protection - assuming 3000 SP. In one of the above posts... And I quote...

4. If geared with some of the best items for healing, this "crap spell" absorbs around 9000 damage, heals for 1750 and may deal 5000 damage. Practically, a 10k heal and 5k damage in ONE INSTANT CAST that is not even expensive!

Well, it's not a heal, obviously. The damage retort is only 45% (which has approximately the same effect as, say, peeing on a HC dungeon boss's shoes) and has a chance of healing an amount that can be illustrated as less than a tenth of a rightly buffed (and geared) Flash Heal or Greater Heal (natural).

Then, of course, there's the mana costs. To this, I say that PW:S is a great buff to have before battle, but that's really its only use... Perhaps? I mean, it costs 13% base mana (which ~=502 mana), whereas Flash Heal costs ~= 13.8% base mana. Flash Heal crits though, are ahead, quite greatly, of the PW:S damage. Not sure of the formula for working out the crit of heals... I know it's not 2.00*amount_healed, but I know that an 80 with 1.6k Int + class constant for critical bonus ~= 176% damage (not including CR). So let's assume this figure and multiply it by a 3k SP Flash Heal (fully buffed) ~= 5.5k.

5.5k*1.76 = 9.68k

Tbh... Looking at Flash Heal now. Flash Heal's pretty crap. So let's take a look at it's big brother Greater Heal, which can output ~=12k healing rightly buffed, for the approximate cost of 2.3 to 2.5* that of Flash Heal (factoring buffs) and 1.8 to 2.0* that of Flash Heal (natural skills).

12k*1.76 = 21.12k

Factoring in mana costs, using spell base (i.e. w/o buffs, 'cos I'm way too tired to work that out):

SHIELD: 888m ~= 7.35k
GHEAL: 1236m ~= 12k to 21.12k
FHEAL: 695m ~= 5.5k to 9.68k

And ratios:

SHIELD: 1m:0.008k
GHEAL: 1m:0.010k to 0.017k
FHEAL: 1m:0.008k to 0.014k

So there you have it:

GHEAL > FHEAL > SHIELD

Based on mana efficiency.

However, if you worked out the m:k ratio of shield once it's buffed with healing, I'm more or less sure that it'd give a ratio worthy of keeping it up as much as possible. Also, given the fact that it's an instant cast (+GCD), Power Word: Shield can help you get out of sticky situations quick.

But I can surely say that it is NOT worth buffing to full through your talent tree, in my opinion.

This was all done at 4:00 to 5:00 in the morning: I have no life.

Comentario de Thottbot

nobody has posted about this?

Though fear works better, the shield is always fun to have, and when healing, saves you some time if you cannot get that last heal out

Comentario de Thottbot

hunter is to pet as priest is to Power word: Shield
Its what makes the priest the most desirable healers in groups - that and there other large range of heals

This can help alot for farming with a mage or hellfire with warlocks too

So many uses

In fact when i reach about 47 im going to switch to disapline talents for what i think is one of the most awsome of all the priest talents - refective shield - 50% of the dmg absorbed by shield is dealt back to attacker with no threat and in disabline youll have +15% dmg absorbed by sheild among many other things
reflective shield talent is awsome

great in groups - only has a 4sec cool and a 15 sec cool for when it has been put on a guy - amazing - it can be dispelled tho so watch out :(

Comentario de Thottbot

Question: When does the Shield spell not work?

Are there certain races or classes that a prient can not shield?

I have tried to put shield on some players, but it won't work. It works great on most players though.

thanks

Comentario de Thottbot

Compared to the pally shield, in PvP this thing is pretty much useless. It does not protect against fall damage, and you can still be interrupted, kicked, diseased, poisoned, silenced, mind-controlled, hamstrung, cursed, feared, dazed, kidney shotted, gouged, sapped, intercepted, sheeped, blinded, concussive shot, distracted,etc... I die very often with this useless shield in place and glowing brightly on my corpse. Pallies are IMMUNE to EVERYTHING in that shield of theirs.

Why does arcane shot dispel it and EVERY other buff/potion I have all at once? Geez, shouldn't it at least take two arcane shots- one for the shield and one for the rest. Gah- just plain CHEAT why don't ya?

Should Cleanse remove this? I don't think it should work like that. Cleanse ought to be like the name suggests and remove disease, poisons, and things that are afflicting you. Cleanse should be used on friendlies only to CLEANSE them- not on foes to debuff them. That would be Dispel Magic.

And, what's up with only putting this on party members? As a priest, I am barely useful anyway. Come on, Blizz- give me something I can WORK with. I run up on ppl in trouble very often and there is not much I can do except watch them go down. If I could just throw that shield it might actually get to help someone and make the priest a little more desirable to have around. It won't help much, but it might give me time to get a Greater Heal off.

And the refelctive part... come on. 50% of the damage it absorbs. Which at my level is only 950. That's what...475 damage overall? LMAO. I'm fightin things with 10k health and I am supposed to be excited about 450 damage when I am still getting hit right thru the dang thing?

So, to sum up my thoughts on it, I think it's a shield... that literally everything can go right thru, you can only use it on certain ppl, and nearly any character can simply rip it right off of you? Hmmmmm.....?

Comentario de Thottbot

Geez SGTSims, so much whining and complaining.....

Its incredibly useful if you use it correctly, in fact its so useful that blizzard had to nerf it by the weakened soul effect otherwise it would be uber, and you could spam it indefinitely on yourself or others.

As for the pally buble comparison, its a bad comparison, since the pally buble last a lot less time, has a much larger CoolDown, and can only be applied to the pally and not other group members, which as a healer you would want to do in order to save the ass of the tank, if you are a pally healing a tank your buble is useless to that tank.

I have a level 70 Priest and I cant imagine not having this extremely useful shield, it literally saved my ass so many times i cant even begin to count, each and every battle I use it, when I enter BG its there castable every 13 seconds (15 secs weakened soul minus the 2 secs from the new Bg reward set) and while you have to wait until the very last minute before your pally is almost dead and use the pally buble for a few seconds then its gone for a long CD, I can re-cast this on me every 13 seconds over and over within 1 fight.

Go on play a lolpally, leave playing a priest to the professionals

Comentario de Thottbot

my freind is convinced Shield pulls loads of aggro when I cast it on him, so he actually asks that I <not> cast it on him (he plays a tanking pally, aggro is hard enough for him to keep). Anybody know what the effect on aggro is?

I agree that Shield is very useful, as it doesn't use much mana and it kind of works as an "ounce of prevention saves a pound of cure"

Comentario de Thottbot

Is there any way to have certain abilities go through a priest bubble? I play a rogue and can have priests many levels below me nail me to the wall due to their bubble no matter what combination of skills I use. This might be an equiptment error on my part but they seem nigh impossible to kill due to the bubble....any advice?

Comentario de Allakhazam

Got this spell from the cleric in Northshire newbie area.

She can be found here: Priestess Anetta

Or, from the cleric in Goldshire. She is on the second floor of the inn.

She can be found here: Priestess Josetta

Comentario de Allakhazam

Is this supposed to be cast on yourself or a party member?

Sorry!

Comentario de kerrymayall

Just something to note: you can only cast this on yourself or people in your party. There's been a few times when levelling i've tried to cast this on a fellow traveler in a bit of a tight spot, but it just comes up with the hand icon when you cast it on them.
