| − | '''Shield Wall''' is a defensive self-buff that costs no [[Warrior#Rage|Rage]]. It has a 5 minute cooldown. As of patch 3.0.2, it is NO longer linked to the [[Retaliation]] or the [[Recklessness]] timers. When activated it absorbs 60% of '''all''' incoming damage, for 10 seconds. It is learned at level 28 for {{cost||99}}. |

||
| − | *The huge linked cooldown puts this firmly in [[Panic button]] territory, and is best saved for when you just ''have'' to survive a little bit longer. Examples include an OOM healer, just a few adds too many, an enraged end-instance/Raid Boss, too many stacks of a debuff that reduces healing received, or a Battle Ground flag run. |
||

| − | *Shield wall is the most powerful form of damage reduction in the game, and is extremely effective at keeping the warrior alive. Most protection warriors will see their physical damage taken drop below 10% of the mob's baseline damage between shield wall, armour, and defensive stance. In addition, shield wall does not drop [[Threat|aggro]], so it allows a warrior to continue tanking, unlike [[Blessing of Protection]]. |
||
| − | |||
| − | *For more day-to-day panic, there may be less extreme measures available; [[Hamstring]]ing or [[Piercing Howl]] before running, potions, using the much faster cooldown Shield Block lots while you finish it off, or even just dying and being raised again by the group healer if it doesn't look like a total wipe is hinged on your survival. Bear in mind that it isn't an invulnerability shield, and even 25% damage from a ?? Elite can still hurt plenty. |
