...Any Disc priest with half a wit about rage generation for warr/bear tanks knows better than to make PW:S their only spell... hell, even I only toss up the shield on my Disc priest if health starts to drop below half...

Paladin tanks, I'm not afraid to toss a shield on, but I have to remind myself that they're taking damage from multiple foes at once. That shield may fall off faster than anticipated (such as with Weakened Soul up) - and may screw you if they're taking more damage than you anticipated, as well.

Of course, that may come down to their own fault for pulling that much damage at once/dps lollygaggin'/no spell interrupts (Shadow Blast in Ahn'kahet, anyone?), but still.

Just my two cents. I'm partway glad they're nerfing the cost to PW:S, personally, and this is WITH a Disc priest. It makes the bigger absorption amount feel a bit evened out to me, and turns it more into the 'oshi-' button I've come to see it as.

Uh, pw:shield hasn't interfered with rage generation since patch 3.1 or a little before.

You realize they allowed rage to be generated through absorbs at the start of wrath right?

I mean... if they didn't bears would be somewhat screwed, I mean I hear they make their own bubbles and all...

In other words, /clap for trying to be condescending, but it only works if your right. Like me. Because I'm awesome. And your not.

PW:S has not affected rage generation for years. Pre shielding is a valid tactic when tank healing no matter who the tank is.
