Divine Veil absolutely needs a second animation

Change it so it has the same effect but it's an addition to the Protect buff, turning the Protect icon temporarily red. I know that's not something I'd overlook when healing, and protect is always up.

A sound would be cool too though.

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.

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.

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.

Anyone have a very simple, short macro that could explain this to a healer?

Cast a heal on me in order to shield the party! <SE.6>

I feel like something like that would be confusing in the heat of the moment to a healer that didn't know what DV was

I agree...Not only with the no heals but as well people running out of range when the healer finally notices.

And i usually have to look at the party list to see if the buff is applied before i move away.
It gives no indication of a buff going out and its uneeded confusion among the tank and the party
