Around Azeroth: What we learned today
The existence of Divine Shield can make a certain type of paladin cocky. Sure, you feel like you can take on the whole world, but after twelve seconds of running through mobs, you end up totally naked, sprinting away from a legion of enemies. Strelnikov of <Desolation> on Kel'Thuzad decided to do some bug extermination in the Ruins of Ahn'Qiraj, but found himself desperately looking for the exit.
Do you have any unusual, beautiful or interesting World of Warcraft images that are just collecting dust in your screenshots folder? We'd love to see them on Around Azeroth! Sharing your screenshot is as simple as e-mailing aroundazeroth@wow.com with a copy of your shot and a brief explanation of the scene. You could be featured here next!
Remember to include your player name, server and/or guild if you want it mentioned. Please include the word "Azeroth" in your post so it does not get swept into the spam bin. We strongly prefer full screen shots without the UI showing -- use alt-Z to remove it. Please, no more battleground scoreboards, Val'kyr on mounts, or pictures of the Ninja Turtles in Dalaran. Older screenshots can be found here.

And from now on, the disclaimer at the bottom of AA posts will read: "Please, no more bubbling paladins"

That's Sacred Shield!

That's a Scared Shield not a Divine Shield!

Upranked for an ingenious spelling error!

That's Sacred Shield actually, not Divine Shield :P

Okay, cue the Yakety Sax music!

Ha ha, it seems I wasn't the only one to notice right away it's sacred shield, not divine shield in the screen shot. :)

What zone is that?

Looks like Ruins of Ahn'Qiraj (AQ20) to me

I can solo everything up to rajax himself in aq20 on my druid, but that thunderclap is really hard to heal through while tanking. I think paladins would have an easier time with this mechanic.

In all fairness, I witnessed this fellow's arms flailing and wondered what they'd look like on the move. Only reason I 'fled'; nice long run to the exit. I'm a bit of a 'special snowflake', I suppose you could say. :p An old friend of mine asked if they could send one of the screenies I sent them here, and I must admit I'm surprised. But yes, Sacred Shield ftw. :>

Reminds me of the screenshot in BT you can find on the raid page of WorldofWarcraft.com (by yours truly!).
