| − | == Notes == |
||
| − | Being an elemental shield, Water Shield cannot be used at the same time as [[Lightning Shield]] or [[Earth Shield]]. It is however possible to use Water Shield or Lightning Shield on yourself while Earth Shield is up on another target. |
||
| − | |||
| − | The cooldown before another orb will trigger is roughly three seconds. The mana regeneration provided functions like [[MP5]], thus granting the full bonus while inside the [[five second rule]]. This regeneration stacks with all other mana regeneration effects, both from gear and from abilities like [[Mana Spring Totem]] and [[Blessing of Wisdom]]. |
||
| − | |||
| − | == Talent improvement == |
||
| − | * [[Improved Shields]] increases the mana returned from each orb by 15%. |
||
| − | |||
| − | * [[Improved Water Shield]] causes an orb to be consumed each time the caster gets a [[spell critical strike|critical]] effect with [[Healing Wave]], [[Lesser Healing Wave]], or [[Riptide]]. |
||
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | == Tips and tactics == |
||
| − | * Since it is free and provides a passive bonus, Water Shield should be up whenever you aren't using Lightning Shield or Earth Shield on yourself. Elemental and Restoration shamans generally make sure that Water Shield is always active. |
||
| − | * It is generally a good idea to refresh Water Shield often, as it costs no mana to do so and you might not have time to recast it later. An experienced player can usually ensure that the buff is up 100% of the time. |
||
| − | * If possible, always refresh Water Shield before the last charge is used up. If all three charges are consumed, you will lose the passive mana regeneration until you recast it. |
