Power Word Shield for SP

Can we change the look of our shield to be more void like, I like the the look of the void shield you get from the void stone in the crucible of storms raid, would be really nice if we could get our shield to look like that instead of having the normal holy shield look.

I like the idea a lot. Perhaps a glyph?

The look can change, as the long as it remains holy spell school. It feels bad enough that our only heal is the same school as our primary damage (Unlike every other “ex hybrid” dps
), at least give us something to press when interrupted to stay alive

they could still let it be in the “holy” school of magic, or have a glyph change it like “Dark Shielding” or something. It just feels very weird to have void spells and holy looking spells especially that lore wise both magic schools repel themselfs

yes, i was just correcting the statement that you can use dispers when shadow locked, because you can’t. funny that frost mages can still use ib / shamans astral shift when spell locked while they do have 2 casting schools.

Yh you can cast iceblock in pretty much any conditions. Dispersion should be like that, love a good ‘oh poo’ button

Yeah agreed, especially that its not even as strong as iceblock, but blizzard can definitly do something for it, and also give us a proper looking voidshield that doesnt get locked when shadow school gets locked by an interrupt

Glyph is the only reasonable solution from the mechanics point of view, we are already too school dependent on shadow.

And it also makes sense, it’s the same as Penance can be glyphed to look more voidy while still being holy spell.

You cannot use Iceblock when locked on Frost just like you cannot use Divine Shield when locked on Holy or Dispersion when locked on Shadow. I’m not sure what’s up with Astral Shift but just like the spells mentionned before logic says if you kick the right school he can’t use it. Ofc don’t expect a Mage to be unable to use block if you kicked on poly


100% sure I frost locked some mages and they were able to block right after. i know how school lockouts work and what to interrupt ofc I’m not gonna waste my kick on a 25% hp mage baiting with a poly

while divine shield / dispers / shift didn’t change recently regarding school lockouts I was surprised to be “iceblocked” by locked frost mages, pretty sure that’s something that changed with bfa as I’ve killed numerous mages unable to block back in the days. Gonna log in my 90 mage tonight and check it out

can’t ice block while frost locked but you can still cold snap and ice block hehe, guess that explains it.

yeah you still get locked, but tbh, I don’t mind PW:Shield to stay in the holy school as long as its appearence gets changed, the sparkly holy look during voidform just feels hella off to me( lore wise, and class design wise)

Shhhh, don’t ask for a spec specific shield, they’ll take away your passive defence and tack it onto your shield instead.

I was looking at the shield from different angles the other day and if you look from above it is completely 2D. When shadow got its animations done they didn’t touch the holy spells it seems. Makes me think the void shield won’t appear for priests until the holy animations get done for holy/disc.

The model of the shield you get from the “Void Stone” In the Crucible of Storms raid is actually a really good replacement for our current shield model

we need less void crap not more
