-'''Earth Shield''' is a [[Schools of Magic#Nature|nature]]-based healing spell. Whenever the shielded target is attacked, the shield will heal it. This heal can only occur every 3.5 seconds, and has nine charges. The spell is only available to shamans that specialize in the [[Shaman talents#Restoration|Restoration tree]] and can only be active on one target at a time.

-Being an elemental shield, Earth Shield cannot be used at the same time as [[Lightning Shield]] or [[Water Shield]]. It is however possible to use Water Shield or Lightning Shield on yourself while Earth Shield is up on another target. The ten minute duration combined with the charges only triggering on damage means that Earth Shield can be cast on a target before [[pulling]] with no loss of effect. Being an elemental shield, it is also impossible for a target to benefit from two Earth Shield spells cast by different restoration shamans; the second shield will simply override and replace the first shield.

-== Improvements ==
+[[Category:Users|Egingell]]
-* [[Improved Shields]] increases the healing of the orbs by 15%. [[Spark of Life (shaman talent)]] increases the healing done by another 6%.
-* [[Tidal Focus]] reduces the mana cost by 6%.
-* [[Nature's Blessing]] increases the effect of all your direct heals on the shielded target by 18%.
-* [[Glyph of Earth Shield]] increases the healing done.
-== Tips and Tactics ==
-* In PvE, Earth Shield's primary use is as a highly mana efficient long-duration [[heal over time]] on the [[tank]]. It is by far your most mana efficient single target healing spell, and its reactive nature minimizes [[overhealing]].
-* Earth Shield is also great in [[PvP]] situations as it greatly increases the shaman's survivability.
-* Keeping Earth Shield on yourself when you do not need the healing is inadvisable, as it cannot be used together with [[Water Shield]], thus causing you to lose out on mana regeneration. Even when you are taking damage it is sometimes preferable to keep Earth Shield on someone else so that you can benefit from the extra mana from Water Shield, both the passive regeneration bonus and the mana granted by the orbs when you take damage.
