I've been back from a 1.5 year break from WoW, so forgive me if I make a foolish comment.

Long story short, I made a prot pally on an different server from my main, so that I can be free from being spoiled by heirlooms but experienced the long-forgotten joy of getting new items and gearing up.

As far as I know block rating has been removed, thus only the Mastery talent increases your block chance, which you learned at lvl 80.

I've been sitting at default-base 5% block chance for the whole time I lvl to 54.

So....let me get this straight, this talent has not much usage for a lvling pre-80 prot pally other than being a prerequisite talent for Sacred Duty, am I getting this right?

I was surprised to see noone reported the change from 4.2 patch where the spell became an activated cooldown.

To my understanding it brings us from 30% to 50% damage reduction (or 31 to 51 if you use the Eternal Shadowspirit Diamond) per block for 10 seconds every 30 seconds. It looks like a great addition to our tools on physical damage based bosses.

Since I am lazy I came up with two macros I use in ZA/ZG and heroics to link the spell to my main attacks (Holy Shield is off GCD) :

#showtooltip Crusader Strike
/cast Crusader Strike
/cast Holy Shield
/script UIErrorsFrame:Clear()

and

#showtooltip Hammer of the Righteous
/cast Hammer of the Righteous
/cast Holy Shield
/script UIErrorsFrame:Clear()

Note that you may not want to use these on raid bosses to keep the spell as an extra "oh !@#$ button".

Edit : Typo.

This is basically an absorb over time spell:

Every 6 seconds the spell "ticks", applying a new absorb buff to the target.
Spell haste effects, including , will reduce the time between "ticks".
Similar to HoTs, it will gain extra ticks with enough spell haste.

Sacred shield is an excellent option for Protection Paladin. At the start of a fight or sitting in town it says something like 5k shield, but get into a fight be it mobs or a boss and cast it with vengeance going and it'll be doing more than you saw in town. (i've seen 15k to 19k when i moused over the buff effect after having recast it mid fight).

IMO the best talent of this line for protection paladin. Doesn't cost anything (which lets you save that 5 bastion of glory for when you need a jolt of healing), and it stays for 30 seconds.. just hit it every second or 3rd consecration / holy wrath, or however you'd like to work it into your rotation. Even while in my holy spec where it only does 9-10k (at my ilvl / spellpower in my 2nd spec), it made a noticeable difference - and that was while on my holy spec healing and not getting a boost to sacred shield from vengeance.

=================================================
the 'formula' in the description of this should read something like
or
(30+(1.17 * holy spell power))

Kommentar von VelRav

Cound anyone help me track this spell via TellMeWhen addon?
Problem is that TMW only tracks the smaller part (6 sec), and not the full buff (30 sec).

Kommentar von Sleuth

The Geheiligter Schild value scales with the AP increase from .
This has allowed me to buff a 200k+ shield right after a 2nd Durchbohren on Madness. Pretty hawt.

Problem is, now that Vengeance is on a 20sec drop-off timer, there's some scenarios you need to make sure you're aware of to use SS effectively:

Buff before you start a fight, buff 10 sec later (Vengeance bonus grants a 10 sec peak)
Rebuff always momentarily before Vengeance fades
Do not overwrite a Sacred Shield if Vengeance has faded
Overwrite Sacred Shield if you have just used a big cooldown to soak a big hit (like Impale)

I'll be personally working on an addon to help me track the minor increases in possible shields between hits/phases where Vengeance doesn't fade. Being an average DTPS over 20s, it takes a lot of work to make the best use of this.

Holy paladins, do you want to exploit this? specially in PvP :P

i got by default 20% haste, pop Divine favor and then Guardian of ancient kings, go to 5 stacks of the guardian, then your haste will be at 120%, then pop SACRED SHIELD, and it will tick every 2 seconds! xD

Every 2 seconds 28k absorb sounds pretty solid to me

Kommentar von sorsa

Does anyone know what % of AP Sacred Shield scales with?

Kommentar von tuabinda

As of 5.4 patch, the spell ID you want to use to track your sacred shield is 148039

Kommentar von handy142

when i use this spell i am getting a green absorb message thats appeared since last patch how can i kill it cos it's annoying as heck

Kommentar von Zylostout

Sacred Shield is a level 45 Talent.

Kommentar von Sqqueeky

For those holy pallies who missed the 5.4 change:

Holy: Sacred Shield now applies its damage absorption shield immediately, can be active on more than one target at a time, but the talent now costs mana and has 3 charges with a 10-second recharge.

don't be fooled by the tooltips on button and spellbook which still tell you that it "can only be active on one target at a time".

The spell you actually have (which can be seen if you link it in chat) is Barriere des Glaubens

To sort them out:

Sacred Shield ID 20295 is the buff for paladins in protection spec or in retribution spec. As the tooltip says, casting it requires a paladin.

Sacred Shield ID 148039 is cast by paladins in Holy spec, and it is considerably more powerful than the same spell for protection spec or retribution spec. There are changes to SS for Patch 5.4 of which a player using Holy spec for their paladin needs to be aware.

Sacred Shield ID 65148 is Used By a Cataclysm NPC named Sinestra, Consort of Deathwing

When Sacred Shield is cast, its buff is displayed on the UI as two identical icons. The first icon has a duration of 6 seconds, or less if it absorbs all of the damage that it can absorb. The second icon has a duration of 30 seconds and refreshes the duration of the first one each 6 seconds until it expires.

Note: the 6-second duration of the first icon can be shorter because of Haste effects, and, when it is affected, then it will be refreshed more often during the 30-second duration of the spell. I don't know whether the amount of absorption during each application is also reduced by Haste effects, but I would expect that it is.

As far as I know, there is no separate ID for the first icon. However, its duration and/or the amount of absorption that it currently has might be returned by the API function Unit Buff() as ... "value1", "value2", "value3". See also the description on Wowpedia World of Warcraft API.

Kommentar von arbhatt

By the way, each time this spell refreshes its absorb, the strength of the shield is capable of both critting and multistriking. Didn't see this in the comments section so thought I'd add it in.
