Seal of Dawn - Power Word: Shield bug

Hello,

I’d like to report a bug affecting Priests in Naxxramas. The item Templar’s Seal of the Dawn states that it boosts healing, but when activated, it grants the Seal of Dawn buff, which claims to increase both healing and shielding. One of these descriptions must be incorrect.

Currently, shielding in Naxx is not boosted by this item in any way. During AQ, my Power Word: Shield could absorb around 1700 damage, but in Naxx, this value remains exactly the same, showing no increase from the Seal of Dawn buff. This significantly impacts Priests, making their core spell far less effective and putting them at a disadvantage compared to other healers.

This issue is not just affecting me—it has been reported by multiple players across the community. In fact, similar bug reports have already appeared on the US forums, confirming that many others are experiencing the same problem.

I hope the Blizzard dev team will investigate this issue and address it as soon as possible.

Thank you!

This is not where you report them.

They rarely look at the forums

It’s a tooltip bug on the buff, the item tooltip is correct. Zirene confirmed before Naxx released that the seal won’t affect shielding.

Also thats a great change, spam shields on entire raid is a weird design. Come back to CoH buddy.
