Divine Intervention

From WoWWiki

"No sacrifice goes unrewarded. The ultimate sacrifice has great rewards indeed."

There are times when a paladin must make sacrifices; Nowhere is this more evident than the power of Divine Intervention. The Paladin gives their own life to cast this spell, which protects an ally with an impenetrable shield for 3 minutes. A good Paladin will make sure his life is never wasted however, as this spell may only be used once every 20 minutes.

Spell Description

The Paladin sacrifices his life to protect a target party member. Enemies will stop attacking that party member and that party member will be completely protected from harmful attacks for 3 minutes. The targeted party member cannot take any action during this time. Interestingly, Mass Dispel cast by an enemy will not remove it. ((Sometimes is a good laugh in a battleground.)) This requires a Symbol of Divinity as a reagent.

Uses

• Saves a party member from death.
• Helps prevent a wipe

Limitations

• The Paladin dies.
• Requires reagent.

Tips for use

• If you are a resurrecting class and the term "DI" is being thrown around, be prepared by getting as far away from any locations the monsters may return to as possible. If you get DI cast on you, the last place you want is to be in the middle of a monster camp when it wears off.

• If you see that another party member is affected by Divine Intervention, attempt to die in a convenient location as fast as possible. If Divine Intervention fades while you are still in combat, there is a chance that the DIed group member will die as well.

• Divine Intervention lasts for 3 minutes, which should be enough for the rest of the group to die in a suitable location. Should the group die and the monsters reset before the full 3 minutes, the DIed group member can cancel Divine Intervention by right-clicking on its buff icon.

• Divine Intervention deaths count as suicides, saving the Paladin from taking durability damage.

• When selecting a target to cast Divine Intervention on, the first choices should be another Paladin, a Priest, a Shaman, or a Druid. As a last resort, it may be cast on someone with Goblin Jumper Cables XL but it is generally more advisable to let the raid wipe.

• If you have time, try to give a warning to the target of the spell to move to a suitably safe position. If either of you are going to die imminently, then you should cast the spell as quickly as possible and hope for the best.

• Do not waste a cast of Divine Intervention on a non-resurrecting class.
