    OP? How? It's a nice ability yes, but OP it hardly is. It's on a 3 min cooldown and puts up a shield that's 10% of your health. If my i175 DRK is any indication, then by 60 my DV will be a measly 1.6k shield, useful sure, but hardly OP especially given how infrequent it can be used and how much trouble it is to proc it at the right time.

    150 seconds =/= 3 minutes. And no, it's not an OP skill, but it is very strong. While not affecting the Paladin themselves, the necessity to affect a high HP high defensive target is low. I always use it on raid wide phase change damage. It also has other applications like bridging the gap of virus cooldowns and aiding your main tank when off tanking.

    It's only 1.6k but stacks with SCH shields. It is a very powerful tool if used at the right time. Sadly a lot of the healers I meet in the DF don't yet know its effect and sometimes they just don't watch the chat log for my macro'ed explanation on it. This is a ballpark figure but I think 4 out of 6 healers have let it drop off me simply because for the duration I did not need heals.

    A sound would be cool too though.
    We should get an overhead prism spinning on top of our heads for the duration and the prism shatters in to pieces and flies towards those party members in range, then form a shield in front of them and disappear. My heart dies a little every time a healer lets it expire on me.
