> Why not reflective shield

[shortandfat]

I tested it, its not just rupture.

Shielded Rogue -> started duel -> casted SW:P -> he blinded.

it broke blind. Im not sure if I will take it anymore.

Good to know, thanks for the testing.

agreed.

reflective shield looking like a dueling talent.

can't really think of any viable team makeups where reflective shield breaking CCs wouldn't be a problem or would only be a minor problem? (maybe warr/pally/pri)

Same.

I haven't gotten too good at it yet, but I am able to beat good MS warriors in duels with a PS/Reflective shield spec. I 2v2 with a rogue, and this gives me the possibility of pulling the warrior away from fight and fighting him 1on1. How great would it be when the other teams healer sees his warrior go behind a pillar to fight the priest, and then doesn't come back?

By the way, from my games today as 41+ disc... one decent benefit of Reflective Shield is that the damage it procs take out grounding totems. I saw "killing blow: grounding totem" on my SCT many times.

Or you could walk up and hit it :-P.

I see what you're saying, but this talent is for dueling purposes only. It is pointless imo if you are serious about Arena.

I think reflective shield is nice and I don't think that the cc break is THAT big of an issue. Most teams won't have time to figure out if you have it or not. But I think it's just a matter of only having 61 talent points. There's no room for it in a healer's build. Reflective shield is more of a 1v1 spec for an offensive disc priest, I think if your priority is healing in the arena, there's better talent points. Disc has so many useful talents that it's hard to shoose which ones to take. Most top bracket disc priests dont use reflective shield enlightenment or improved power word shield not because they're bad talents but you have to evaluate what is more valuable. When you count the numbers you get from enlightenment, thats like 400 hp/mana average for 5 talent points and to spec that you have to spc out of silent resolve or some really helpful survivability talents in the holy tree. Same thing for reflective shield, every 15 secs you could deal 600-800 damage in situations where the guy hitting you will generally have a healer backing him up and 1 hot will cover the damage you deal. Those 5 points means you prbably don't have silent resolve or spell warding or something so your survivability is alot lower.
