Slam the target with your shield, causing Holy damage equal to 200% of your block value. This spell causes a high amount of threat.

Armor piercing Shield Slam. Prot is gonna have some very sexy single target TPS.
Hells yeah!

Is that really zero mana cost? Between that and the hammer, it looks like we'll have a shitload of mana-free threat.

Single-target looks like it's going to be weapon damage and block value all the way. I think the intent is that the spelldamage from Touched by the Light will be enough to power your other abilities (Cons, HS, SoR/JoR, etc) but the overall balance is supposed to favor a "real" weapon.

My best guess is that it's supposed to end with "over 12 seconds" or something like that -- a built-in HoT from crit heals.

EDIT: Tclap. Damn, they're giving us Tclap built into judgements. Too damn sweet.

My comrades are my weapons, and I am their shield.
