Tips[]

This talent's usefulness depends on how often the priest makes use of Spell holy powerwordshield [Power Word: Shield]:

  • For Discipline priests: This is an excellent talent for Discipline priests, improving one of their most important abilities.
  • For Holy priests: Less useful, although it may still be worthwhile depending on how often they use Power Word: Shield.
  • For Shadow priests: A very helpful talent to increase survivability, especially in PvP. Since many Shadow priests will choose to talent Spell holy divineillumination [Evangelism] and Ability priest archangel [Archangel], the choice is often between this talent and Ability hibernation [Mental Agility], which improves mana efficiency.

By increasing the size of Power Word: Shield, this talent also increases the amount healed by Inv glyph majorpriest [Glyph of Power Word: Shield].

When combined with the Discipline mastery Spell holy powerwordshield [Mastery: Shield Discipline], 2 points in this talent actually improves Power Word: Shield by at least 24%.
