I’m trying to understand why shield block is number 1 priority defensive for prot warrior and should be maintained all the time. There is only 5 rage difference between the two. Shield block also has cooldown, so it’s not possible to have it up all the time (are there any passives to reset its cd?). And it only blocks physical attacks. Ignore pain, on the other hand, reduces overall dmg taken by 55%, doesn’t have cd, has passive talents which further improve this ability. To me it seems more natural to maintain Ignore Pain all the time and use shield block during heavy physical dmg only. I’m not too experienced with prot warriors, so maybe I’m missing something, but if someone could advise me on this I’d be grateful. Thanks!
