Notes[]

Divine Aegis

In World of Warcraft

Atonement TCG

The Divine Aegis effect as seen on the Atonement card in the TCG.

  • Multiple Divine Aegis buffs generated by different priests can be active on a target.
  • If during that time another Divine Aegis from the same priest is granted to the target, a new Divine Aegis buff is created for the combined amount of both buffs, with a fresh 15-second duration. In this way a Divine Aegis can be repeatedly increased in size, and kept active indefinitely.
  • Divine Aegis will always absorb damage first, before effects such as Spell holy powerwordshield [Power Word: Shield].
  • Similarly to Power Word: Shield, it will also prevent on-damage effects such as Spell holy prayerofmendingtga [Prayer of Mending] from proccing.
  • Divine Aegis can proc from Ability priest atonement [Atonement] critical strikes.
