Tips
- The chance to hit with this ability is improved by adding hit rating.
- This spell is the primary pulling tool of protection paladins; it is ranged, does holy damage, and strikes up to three targets.
- Avenger's Shield hits each target with a 7% spell damage coefficiant and another 7% attack power coefficient.
- This ability is a Smart Spell.
- In PvP, this ability is best used as an interrupt to spellcasters, due to its interrupt ability and 3 second silence. Combined with [Grand Crusader] and [Rebuke], the protection paladin can keep a spellcaster bereft of spells for significant bursts of time.
Trivia
- The ability is a reference to Captain America (who is a member of the superhero group known as The Avengers), and his ability to ricochet his shield off of multiple targets and return to him.
