Tested it out. The runes absorb the FIRST XXXX damage you take. So in the case of my above example, it will absorb the 1900 damage.

It takes a couple seconds to apply, so you can't use it midfight. On the other hand, it is a nice little damage buffer to start a boss fight with, letting the tank take a bit more damage and get some more aggro before the healer needs to start healing.

Commento di Throdio

I think this would be good to put on a Paladin or Shaman healer. Could prevent them from dieing, wasting mana to heal themselves etc. Its also good to take a bit of damage at the start of a fight.

Commento di Drosera

Runes do not go away when you log out or zone.

Also when still absorbing damage, your spells are not effected by spell knockback from damage.

I can say as an Elemental Shaman, these things are I.W.I.N. in PvP... Well worth the 5g or so if you want to 100% beat someone.

Can you put this on two or three different shields, and swap them during combat?

Commento di 62189

Absolutely Excellent tool to have if you tank. Put one on yourself for boss fights and give a few to a pally or shaman in your group too. They could wear it for most of an instance, in the case of stray aggro, before it fails. A must if your group has an Elemental Shaman.
Can anyone verify the average amount of absorbsion?

Commento di 30226

Can anyone confirm whether or not these absorb magical damage, as well as physical damage?

Commento di 46584

Do you have to keep a shield equipped to maintain the buff, or just to cast the rune? If you can safely de-equip the shield once the buff is applied, these could be handy for any DPS that can equip a shield.

This item is being changed in 2.2.

It will be applied to a chest/robe item and it will periodically absorb damage to a maximum of 4000.

Commento di lillbrorsan

And the level requirement is now 60 instead of 55.

It's Actually called Greater Rune of Shielding, not Greater Ward of Shielding

Commento di 40551

No one seemed to mention this, and I want to be certain - does this have a duration, or does it only go away once you've taken 4,000 damage?

Commento di Mutilor

Does this have a cast time? If not it could be used in an emergency situation when tanking a boss or something.

Commento di 30226

These are extremely useful for Shaman and Paladin healers on fights with a lot of raid damage being thrown around (e.g. Lady Vashj). They can help to shave off some incoming damage and spell pushback.

Commento di 68584

This is probably the most useful during the Reliquary of Souls phase 1 encounter. Using this ward, power word: shields, Blessing of Sanctuary etc a tank can easily solotank through one whole cycle of fixates before an enrage.

Commento di 100642

This is probably less useful for a tank, since you will take 4k damage pretty fast, and the damage absorbed doesnt seem to generate rage.

Commento di Twan

With thise babies on I can easily slack on Prince. If you get Enfeeble and you're just too busy healing the tank, this will absorb the Shadow Nova. Or if an infernal lands on your head.

Commento di 141689

Can I ask a silly question ? :P Is this item useable in Arena in Retail ?

Commento di esdawg

While it only absorbs the initial 4,000 damage the Ward can be situationally, very useful for tanks as well.

Raid bosses such as Illidan and Archimonde hit stupidly hard off the bat. That extra hp buffer can help out healers alot, who are adjusting positions for the pull or a phase change.

Commento di 207268

i dont get it though ... cant anyone just keep reapplying this over and over again in pvp and be immune to 4k damage constantly. All theyd have to do is reapply it when they get out of combat. or is that not how it works?

Commento di davenrothz

Is this automatically gray when you hit level 375 in Blacksmithing?

Commento di Krynoraxian

Confirmed on 12/2/08 Still works

Commento di 167112

Can mages spellsteal that buff from this rune?

Commento di Sipotam

this item can be trade,and very cool...with retribution paladin i use a 1H sword and shield+this item,and it protecting me in duel and when this buff is ower i change my weapon to thwo hand sword,avesome :)

Commento di Mandog

Its great when a rogue saps you (the warrior) which procs Second Wind, while you are immune to his attacks.

Rogues don't do a lot of damage on me if the first place with my plate armor + shield, but if you're in Defensive Stance, you get a further 10% damage reduction (prolonging the buff), and you can spam Shield Block as well, making this both fun and funny in PvP. I like to duel with it, too.

Edit: Shield Block nerfed.

Commento di 158559

As a resto shaman I still use these to negate some damage in ToC. At the very least they give me an extra second to get out of the fires on Beasts, and get that heal off before running from Infernals.

For tanks these are still as valuable as they were in BC for absorbing initial boss damage, giving your healers an extra second to get into position and casting.

edited for spelling ><

Commento di Knellox

WOW dont waste ur money on this, its really bad if u were hoping to switch to the shield and absorb the 4k damage in the middle of a fight. THIS IS A TEMPORARY CHARACTER BUFF, NOT AN ITEM ENHANCEMENT. You must have the shield equipped or u lose the buff. ill keep the 35 that i have now that i blew my cash on em and ill use em in dungeons or raids but DAMN, at least the other ones give the buff to the SHIELD not the CHARACTER and then only after a 3s cast AND only when u have the shield equipped AND self removing when you switch to a non-shield weapon set. Fail.

Commento di 614690

Greater Shielding + Lesser Shielding and Glyph of Stoneclaw Totem is just Perfect for shammys. The absorbing amount is over 9000 damage! That makes the shamans one of the biggest absorbing classes..more than frost mages...

I am comming to the conclusion that it is very useful in PvP. I don't think this is useless...
And for sure the shammys must have Blacksmithing 375-400 :)

Commento di zanath

These only require lvl 55, and 4k dmg at that lvl really is a lot, sometimes even your own health bar! So great items for flag running in WsG in the lvl 50-59 bracket, and still very usefull at higher lvls.

Commento di Octayvius

This thing has a Mega ton of situational uses, You can have 3 shields in your inventory with it on, and use it as a cool down mixed with items or trinkets in example for Mimirons blast, Or Lich king's Harvest soul, Or the festergut tank Swap, The list goes on and on, As for other classes like pallys and shamans you can use this in a similaur manner for fights like Blood Queen, Sindragosa, Etc etc, Any were when you can anticipate the damage.
