Water Shield is a Nature-based Restoration shaman buff, learned at level 20. The spell improves mana regeneration, and when taking damage, it restores mana to the caster. Water Shield can only proc every few seconds.
Notes
Being an elemental shield, Water Shield cannot be used at the same time as [Earth Shield]. It is however possible to use Water Shield on yourself while Earth Shield is up on another target.
The cooldown before another orb will trigger is roughly three seconds. This regeneration stacks with all other mana-regeneration effects, both from gear and abilities.
Improvements
- Glyph of Water Shield
- Major Glyph
- Instant cast
- Requires Level 25
Tips and tactics
- It is a good practice for Restoration shamans to make sure Water Shield is always active, in order to take advantage of the passive bonus.
