Divine Aegis is a Discipline priest talent.
Notes
- Multiple Divine Aegis buffs generated by different priests can be active on a target.
- If during that time another Divine Aegis from the same priest is granted to the target, a new Divine Aegis buff is created for the combined amount of both buffs, with a fresh 15-second duration. In this way a Divine Aegis can be repeatedly increased in size, and kept active indefinitely.
- Divine Aegis will always absorb damage first, before effects such as
[Power Word: Shield]. - Similarly to Power Word: Shield, it will also prevent on-damage effects such as
[Prayer of Mending] from proccing. - Divine Aegis can proc from
[Atonement] critical strikes.
