1 10%
2 20%

Notes

  • Staple for AoE tanking/farming. Reflected damage can crit and is affected by armor and abilities/buffs which increase damage by percentage.
  • Synergizes with Glyph of Blocking that increases block value.

Known bugs

A bug exists in that Rank 1 of Damage Shield does absolutely nothing, but Rank 2 works just fine.

*The recent patch (3.0.8) says it has fixed this error. Have not tested it, but, the notes say it.

Warrior
   * Damage Shield: Rank 1 of this ability now works properly.
   * Heroic Throw no longer triggers the snare from Mage Frost Armor.
