+== Source ==
-'''Sacred Shield''' is a [[Paladin]] ability learned at level 80. This powerful defensive utility is used to prevent damage and increase [[Paladin]]'s healing effectiveness on the target. It provides two buffs. One is the Sacred Shield buff which lasts 30/45/60 seconds. When the target takes damage, this buff allows for the activation of a 6/9/12 seconds shield which absorbs damage and increases the casting [[Paladin]]'s [[Flash of Light]] crit chance by 50%.
+This item drops from [[Alysrazor]] in the [[Firelands (instance)|Firelands]] on normal mode.
-The damage absorption of Sacred Shield is relative: the shield will activate only after the target takes damage, and its protection will then last for 6/9/12 seconds. Therefore, to maximize its effect, Sacred Shield is best used on a target that often takes damage.
-== Notes ==
+==Patches and hotfixes==
+{{Patch 4.2.0|note=Added.}}
-* Since [[patch 3.1]], one [[Paladin]] can affect only one target with his/her Sacred Shield at any given time.
-* Since [[patch 3.2]], Sacred Shield CAN NOT stack several times on a single target.
-* Since [[patch 3.2]], the additional 50% [[Flash of Light]] crit chance has been replaced with a Heal over Time effect from any paladin's flash of light while the Sacred Shield is present.
-* If the [[Divine Guardian]] talent is used, the duration of Sacred Shield buff will increase to 9/12 seconds while the buff will still be able to refresh every 6 seconds.
-* The Sacred Shield recieves approximately 75% of the casting [[Paladin]]'s spell power.
-* Damage over time effects will proc the Sacred Shield buff.
-* [[Seal of Martyr]], [[Judgement of Martyr]] / [[Seal of Blood]], [[Judgement of Blood]] will not trigger the Sacred Shield buff, but their feedback damage will be absorbed by it.
-* An important note for ret [[Paladins]] is that casting Sacred Shield resets weapon swing timer.
-* Environmental damage (e.g. fall damage, lava) is not absorbed.

-== Talent improvements ==
+<!-- Read http://www.wowpedia.org/Wowpedia:External_links before posting your links here.
-* [[Divine Guardian]]: increases the duration of Sacred Shield by 50/100% and the amount absorbed by 10/20%. This includes the increase of duration in both the main Sacred Shield buff, to 45/60 seconds, and the damage absorbing buff, to 9/12 seconds. The Sacred Shield will still be able to proc every 6 seconds.
-== Tips and tactics ==
-* Because [[patch 3.1]] allows for several Sacred Shield buffs to stack on a single target while one [[Paladin]] can keep only one Sacred Shield active, every [[Paladin]] in the raid should make sure to have their Sacred Shield constantly in effect, preferably on the main tank. To this end, it is recommended to use the [[Divine Guardian]] talent which can double the Shield's duration.
-* Damage over time effects trigger the Shield's buff making this ability very useful in pvp combat. It is a viable tactic to intentionaly suffer a less harmful DoT spell on yourself in order to have it constantly proc the Sacred Shield buff.
-* Ret [[Paladins]] should time their [[The Art of War]] instant Flash of Light casts with the buff from the Sacred Shield.
-* Paired with [[Illumination]] and [[Beacon of Light]] talents, the additional 50% [[Flash of Light]] crit chance will greatly increase the mana effectivenes of [[Paladin]]'s healing. Thus, holy [[Paladin]]'s main target should be protected by the Sacred Shield buff whenever possible.
-== Patch changes ==
-* {{patched|patch=3.2.0|note=When a paladin casts [[Flash of Light]] on a target with this buff, they also now place a heal over time effect on the target, healing that target for 100% of the Flash of Light amount over 12 seconds.}}
-* {{patched|patch=3.1.0|note=This effect cannot be cast on more than one friendly target at a time. Protection talent [[Divine Guardian]] will now increase the duration of Sacred Shield by 50/100% and the amount absorbed by 10/20%. Sacred Shield will now scale properly with the spell power granted by [[Sheath of Light]]}}
-* {{patched|patch=3.0.2|note=Added.}}
