• Reduces the cooldown of your Power Word: Shield ability by 4 sec. and reduces the mana cost of your Power Word: Shield by 15%.

Soul Warding is a priest talent, available after spending 3 talent points in Improved Power Word: Shield and 20 talent points in the Discipline tree. It reduces the cooldown of Power Word: Shield and its mana cost.

Notes

• With this talent, Power Word: Shield can be placed on multiple targets in a short amount of time, as it negates the base 4 second cooldown. It also increases mana regeneration by synergizing with Rapture.
