-== Notes ==
-Earth Shield has a fairly low base amount of healing done, but benefits greatly from your [[Spell power|spell power]] (roughly 15% per charge) and gains up to +35% healing done from talents. The spell uses your spell power at the time you cast it for the full duration.
-The cooldown before another charge will trigger is 3-4 seconds.
-The 30% reduction of spell [[pushback]] does stack with other similar bonuses such as [[Healing Focus]]. Together these two add up to a 100% reduction, completely eliminating spell pushback.
-The ten minute duration combined with the charges only triggering on damage means that Earth Shield can be cast on a target before engaging with no loss of effect.
-==Talent improvement==
-[[Improved Earth Shield]] increases the number of charges from six to eight, and increases the healing done by the spell by 10%. [[Purification]] increases the healing done by another 10%. [[Improved Shields]] increases the healing done by a further 15%.
-[[Tidal Focus]] reduces the mana cost by 5%.
-[[Tidal Mastery]] increases the critical effect chance of the spell by 5%. [[Thundering Strikes]] increases that by another 5%. [[Blessing of the Eternals]] adds a further 4%.
-== Tips and Tactics ==
-In PvE, Earth Shield's primary use is as a highly mana efficient long-duration [[heal over time]] on the [[tank]]. It is by far your most mana efficient single target healing spell, and its reactive nature minimizes [[overhealing]].
-You may want to keep Earth Shield on the tank in group situations, although other occasions may call for it to be placed on a caster who is being interrupted, for example in [[Nightbane]]'s airborne phases when healers get targetted, or if a [[Warlock]] or [[Mage]] or [[Moonkin Form|Moonkin]] is [[AOE]]ing a pack of non-elites.
-Earth Shield is also great in PvP situations as it greatly increases the shaman's survivability.
-== Past Changes ==
-* Earth Shield was added in patch 2.0
-* The number of charges was reduced from ten to six in patch 2.4. Additionally, the mana cost reduced by half.
-* Earth Shield was changed to count as healing done by the shaman instead of the target in patch 3.0. Prior to this, an Earth Shield cast on a tank would count as healing done by him, giving him healing [[threat]] on all targets in combat with him.
