Limited PvP -> PvE Free Character Transfers
The Cataclysm Classic Pre-Expansion Patch Arrives April 30
Season 4... Just old dungeons and new ilvl?
What's the state of PvP like today?
MMO-Champion
Most of players incudling myself a few minutes ago don't really know how much this spell actually absorbs damage.
I wanted to test how much it actually absorbs, logged on my altadin, went to IF and dueled a mage. with 2998sp(rather low) single proc from Sacred shield absorbed 4297 damage.
4297 absorbed damage from an instan cast costing 527 mana seems quite fair to me. But sacred shield can proc 10 times from 1 cast.
42 970 damage absored for 527 mana. Is it just me or does that sound a bit OP to anyone else? A bit too efficient maybe?
And remember this is with 2998sp. Full wrathful geared paladin will have around 3400-3800 SP debending on gemming and trinkets.
If you can't purge it you are fucked im afraid.
Anyone else think this ability should be changed somehow?

There's a cooldown on it. It's not spammable like Mana Shield. A 4-5k shield is not OP at all, you're a healer.
Words that lots of people don't seem to know the definition of:

since holy palas dont have much movement healing i'd say ofc not this is not OP. you can compare this with earthshield instead.

There was a thread on ArenaJunkies about it that discussed if it was OP or not, can't find it right now.
It's fine as it is though.

Fun Paladin fact #71 - Pulling more than 40 mobs at once will completely bypass all effects of Sacred Shield. Try it doing [Leeeeeeeroy!] if you think I'm kidding.

My 4k shield every 21seconds approves of its OPness.

Sacred shield is fine, paladin healers need it.

It's op against any team without offensive dispel... which is to say none.

In 3v3 I agree. But playing a setup without purge in 2v2 sacred shield is maddeningly strong, especially as a physical dps class that also has to cut through 25k armor
