An excellent tanking ability, obviously. I would advise even Arms or Fury warriors to invest at least 12 points into Protection for Last Stand and Improved Shield Block, which extends it's duration by 1 second and gives an extra block. With 12 points invested into protection, all Warriors can tank pretty well.

Anyhow, whenever this skill is not cooling, it should be up while tanking. It can also be used preemptively in PvP; if you see a hunter casting Aimed Shot, stance-dance to Defensive, wait till it almost fires and hit Shield Block to absorb a goodly amount of damage! This can also be used in conjunction with Revenge(especially Improved Revenge) for a good cheap source of damage/threat.

this move appears to be unafected by the focused rage talent i respecced yesterday and it stayed at a 10 rage cost instead of reducing to 7 rage

In WotLK this ability will recieve a major nerf -> 100% chance to block and 100% increased block value, but ONLY for one attack (one attack that you block, you could still dodge and parry as they take higher priority than block no mater how much you increase the chance). The cooldown gets increased to 30 seconds (you can take away 10 with Improved Shield Block).

No more free avoidance for warriors, and if they remove crushing blows, you won't really need it that much. Anyway, Shield Block becomes more of a panic button now, ensuring that you would at least block .. a lot of damage.

Shield Block becomes more of a panic button now

No doubt, it's an enormous nerf, but it's hardly a panic button. Even with the cooldown decreased by talents, spending just ten rage every twenty seconds will make it a spammable action that gives the healers a buffer.

However, I can foresee bosses that hit the tank extremely hard at a specific time, requiring the block to be available and its use well-timed.

ALL tank gear (from the past and in the future) is being reworked to include more strength. Take a look at any of your old favorite peices of tanking loot on the regular wowhead and compare it to the wotlk stuff. Across the board almost all pieces are gaining some strength and losing other stats (like hit, defense, shield value, etc)

For example:
Battleworn tuskguard in TBC
Battleworn tuskguard in wotlk

Aldori Legacy defender in Wotlk
Aldori Legacy defender in TBC

This also disproves xiron's comment

It also looks like they're removing the Block Value stat from all pieces of gear that aren't shields, so I don't think that block value numbers are going to be that drastically changed (in relation to what they would be if block value was still in lvl 71+ gear).

What happened to "but will only block 1 attack"? The live tooltip specifies that, but this one doesn't. Does the buff actually last the full 10 seconds now, regardless of how many times you block?

Комментарий от 226332

You gain rage from parrying, but not dodging

No, we dont.

I dno if you shall call this a nerf or a power up now, indeed it gets a long CD, but in mind of that this can be a panic button for tanks is good, since you will block all atacks and your BV is increased it's basically a immune shield to melee normal trash mobs, but that's if you got a high BV

Imagine a boss like Prince Malchezzar, who in phase to hits you with a lot of strikes right after each other. Popping shield block, which then doubles your chance to block AND block double amount of damage - that is pretty nice. Critical Block only makes this even better - and with the change to Devastate which can reset the cooldown on your Shield Slam, I can see a lot of big Shield Slam incoming.

Overall.. nice change.. gonna be fun to try out. :)

Figurine of the Colossus works absolutely great with Shield Block.

Macro the use of the Trinket with Shield Block and you have a great formula for 10 seconds of great healing on yourself!

Комментарий от Kaaosa

I've made the following macro for my warrior since the 3.0 change to Shield Block

#showtooltip Shield Slam
/cast Shield Block
/cast Shield Slam

This attempts to use Shield Block everytime I use Shield Slam to ensure I use it as soon as its cooldown is up and get good uptime from it, and Shield Block comes first in the macro so that the Shield Slam benefits from the increased SBV.

Комментарий от ir0npanda

This is melee immunity for ten seconds in PvP. With my prot gear in TBC (which was not built for high SBV) I could block 1400 pre-armor damage. Now that block value will go way up, and with the +100% SBV from this buff, that means I could block at least 3000 pre armor damage with that gear at level 70.

Keep em in front of you, and no damage will get through from any physical dps class barring some overflow from aimed shot (maybe) for ten seconds.

Then shield wall.

Then retaliate (+damage shield!)

No more double rogue teams CCing the druid while they gank you.

This is immunity to Gouge.

You can bandage the tank when he pops this... if the boss doesnt do any unblockable damage, that is :)

Комментарий от Daiemio

Wonder if you can use this to block instant kill abilities.. like, that last execute, or a overpowering blow, that would no doubt kill a low level?

Can this block https://www.wowhead.com/cata/spell=51722#comments:id=1011153 ?

Комментарий от kemikalkadet

As of 4.0.1 this ability no longer doubles your block value due to the removal of block as a stat on gear.

Комментарий от 200795

Shield Block, against regular melee mobs, is more or less a 10 second 30% reduction to damage taken on a 30 second cooldown, assuming it's talented. Critical blocks improves the mitigation further.

Комментарий от 693537

As of the last patch Shield Block increases your block chance by just 25%, but
if your total avoidance exceeds 100%, the excess goes for your critical block.
So basically, if you have say:
20% dodge, 30% parry, 40% block and 25% crit block,
using Shield Block makes you with:
20% dodge, 30% parry, 65% block and 40% crit block
But the question is, can you really exceed these 100%?
Not with the current gear, I presume... Unless you use a trinket

Комментарий от 660647

I don't know, feel free to downrate me, but does attacker's chance to miss an attack on you counts as, well... YOUR avoidance?

Комментарий от 660647

I meant specificaly this mechanic, which says "if your total chance to block or avoid an attack exceeds 100%, your chance to critically block is increased by the excess.", and now you see, what did I mean.

Комментарий от petre

Huh, I don't see it listed anywhere, and I don't know if it's possible yet even if you stack Mastery everywhere in full T12 heroic gear, but if your passive (without Shield Block active) block+avoidance exceeds 100% would the excess be converted to critical block, or is that mechanic only available for the 10 seconds Shield Block is up? The spell details and tooltip would appear to indicate you would get no benefit to critical block unless Shield Block is active, but they don't rule out the implementation of a separate mechanic that does this.

I found that I was forgetting to activate my Огонь глубин. Rather than abandon the on use completely, I macroed it with Блок щитом, which I use whenever it's available:

#showtooltip
/use Shield Block
/use Fire of the Deep

The cooldowns don't match (30s for Shield Block with Мастерское владение щитом, 1m30s for Fire of the Deep), but that's not a big deal. The end result is that one in three applications of Shield Block is on steroids and also gives me an extra 13% dodge before diminishing returns. I know it would be better to activate them separately and distribute my damage reduction, but I had trouble integrating the Fire into my cooldown rotation. This way I benefit from its effect and can forget that I even have it.

NIce i got first comment anyways this move rocks esspecially if u have shield spike with it.

Комментарий от Thottbot

run in, taunt, shield block, revenge and you get lots of agro

Комментарий от Thottbot

Taunt deals no threat at all. If a monster isn't attacking you, then taunt pulls them to you, but if you don't pull actual agro while you have the mob taunted, as soon as the 6 second taunt wears off, whoever had agro before will have it once again.

Комментарий от Thottbot

This ability is my favorite.. it makes prot warriors > any other melee except the occasional arms warrior. Though i've noticed that occasionally when i use it i seem to lose agro. Like the mobs realize they cant hit me and maybe a cloth wearer looks tasty?
Also prot warriors have an improved version that blocks 2 attacks per shield block.
I also use a shield that has a stackable poison upon block (A shield you can buy when you have sporregar at honored) So i basically do not lose agro. It also helps to take no damage as the cd is so quick. If you spec in this you can take extremely little damage from bosses.. mixed with spell reflect prot warriors can now tank even better =)

Комментарий от Thottbot

One very dirty and effective Warrior trick is to Hamstring your opponent while you're using a very slow weapon, run out of melee range, shoot or something, then run back in with Shield Block on, hit him hard, and he will not be able to damage you because you block, then run away again, and repeat :P

Комментарий от Thottbot

I allways save some rage for that while tanking

Комментарий от Thottbot

ive got a lowbie warrior alt.
i find it easy to q in defensive stance as i spam shield block and revenge as they have good effects and once cd is down i got enough rage to use.
this ability and revenge r key skills when tanking. along with sunder armour, taunt, shield bash (posibly even disarm)
i personally find tanking easy (well at lvl 20 that is)

Комментарий от Thottbot

Can you use this, in defensive stance, then change to battle stance (leaving shield equipped) and it will still be up ?

Комментарий от Thottbot

Yes but that is would be some impresive stance-dancing to do that effectively every 5 secs

Комментарий от Thottbot

Does this stack with your passive shield block ability?

My character has roughly a 25% shield block ability all on his own; when I fire this up, am I guaranteed to block every time? (I probably should just observe while I'm fighting... lol)

But the reason I ask this is because I'm trying to determine what I need to become "uncrushable" - that 105.4% avoidance rating.

If you were to stack my 25% shield block with this 75% boost, all I'd need is 4.5% more avoidance from dodge *or* parry. Take away that 25% though, and we have a longer distance to go.

Does anyone know?

Комментарий от Thottbot

I cant understand! This ability will block only 1 atack from 1 source during whole 5sec, or it will block each second 1 attack till the ability finishes?

Комментарий от Allakhazam

Activate this, then use Revenge on any target you want to lay down some great threat while mitigating some damage.
