• Water Shield
• Instant cast
• The caster is surrounded by globes of water, granting X mana per 5 sec. When a spell, melee, or ranged attack hits the caster, the reactive shield generates X mana. This effect can only occur once every 3 seconds. Lasts 1 hour.
  
  Only one of your Elemental Shields can be active on you at once.

Water Shield is a core shaman ability learned at level 20. The spell passively replenishes mana, and when taking damage, it restores additional mana to the shaman. Water Shield can only proc every few seconds lasts an hour.

Notes

• Being an elemental shield, Water Shield cannot be used at the same time as [Lightning Shield] or [Earth Shield]. It is possible to use Water Shield or Lightning Shield on yourself while Earth Shield is up on another target.
• The proc cooldown is three seconds. The mana regeneration provided functions like MP5, thus is not affected by the five second rule. This regeneration stacks with all other mana-regeneration effects.
• Since it costs no mana and provides passive regeneration, Water Shield should be up whenever you aren't using Lightning Shield or Earth Shield. It is a good practice for Elemental and Restoration shamans to make sure Water Shield is always active.
