WoW: Warriors Can Do Stuff
Warriors have a skill “Shield Wall” that I use rarely. It reduces the damage taken by the warrior considerably for a short time. Last night, in Blackrock Depths, I gave it a shot. We were facing a tough group of 4 elites and I figured if I could reduce my damage taken, it would reduce healing needed, eliminating a premature loss of aggro, hopefully preventing a wipe out. It worked beautifully, I think. It’s hard to tell, in a long fight, if any one thing makes a difference, but we survived which is good.
The thing about Shield Wall is its 30 minute cool down. At best, I could use it 3 times in a 2 hour play date, and not just any 3 times at that. They would have to be 30 minutes apart. So Shield Wall sits in my button bar unremembered, unused. It would take a better Warrior than me to remember the darn thing.
