Does anyone know about how power word: shield works with armor/shadow form? Say a warrior would usually swing for 1000 and the preist has like 10% damage mit from base armor, adding inner focus makes it up to 20%, and shadow form up to 35%… when this warrior attacks the priest who has power word shield up without inner focus and out of form, does the warrior do the full 1000 damage to the shield as if the priest has 0 armor (cuz absorb shields don’t really have armor)? Does it hit for 900 taking into consideration the priests armor, which would mean it would hit for 650 damage for the priest with inner focus and shadow form? I hope I worded it well enough. Basically does a priests physical mitigation translate into how difficult for meele classes to break priest shields? For that matter AGM and borrowers shell as well
nice helmet, are you scuba diving?

Shield hp is absorbed after all other forms of mitigation. So yes, better armor, IF and Shadow form all increase the effective duration of PWS

PWS sucks. Priests were by far the hardest for me to kill in TBC, largley because of PWS and mana burn (resto druids were right behind them, though.)
