That seems not right to me because it only waste one or maybe two hot tick, but even then it only waste them if target is full on hp to start. Are you saying its better when first applied only? That seems wrong to me because if shield was replaced with another hot then neither hot would be wasted and player with hots would be healed for more overall. Is Divine Aegis even a lot? When I look it seem like it isn't that important, just tiny bit more shield.
I know fight like Lich is different because all damage done in one hit. Festergut sometime does that too when he exhale, but damage so low that its not that bad. What about other fight though? Many fight shield seems like crap because no one take damage anyway so lot of shield do nothing maybe one or two get use. Other fight have a lot of damage all the fight so having two hots on someone seem better because heal for lots more than absorbed. It sound like all you say is shield better because it happen before damage come, but lots of fight damage come all the time. Only Lich really have big one hit of damage to shield. Why people like smaller shield over bigger hot? Even if some of hot is wasted isn't hot bigger?
Am curious because guild I am in only wants me to shield on Lich and other fights they give me gold to be Holy and use hot. I like being Discipline because for 5 man it really easy so I wanted to know if maybe they wrong? Fight seem easier now, but mana is hard sometime, but Druid like to give me mana because I help more now. Should maybe I tell them this so I can use shield more?
