Can we pls have a 1h buff with no tracking pls. I get annoying quite fast to have to reaply each time. Also there is little to no reason to not do it. I mean Paladin can get a 1h beacon who does similar with no contrain. Lets shield do the same

I hate reapplying it
Same. If they keep stack they should just make it cast a big shield at 0 and then start back at 9 for like an 1h.
They already have internal proc CDs, there’s no reason they need to be stack based as well.
On a related note, can Lightning shield be reverted to work on ranged damage and spells again? As ELE I literally cast it for the sake of feeling like I’m actually buffing up if I’m not running Earth Shield. It’s useless outside of solo leveling
Edit: and PvP sorry pvpers

As a PvPer I would love this. Tons more free damage and maelstrom usage! Also, correct me if I am wrong here… But pretty much anytime an NPC has a Lightning shield buff, don’t they trigger off ranged attacks as well?

Every NPC damage shield procs off all damage they take- doesn’t matter if its lightning or otherwise.
Yeah I know but it would be cool to have earthshield used as a timer to proc a shield. you know 8 heal 1shield. Then the tier reset till the 1h is over

Blizz pls literally just:
Water shield gains 1 stack every x seconds.
Earth shield remains on at no stacks for “beacon” sake, gains 1 stack on direct heals.
What would be the point of adding a stack on Earthshield if it is up 100% of the time at 1?
I have no earthly idea why tf water shield has charges other than serving to waste a GCD to reapply when u notice it’s gone

None except if you can do something with stack. I remember it was possible to cosume a certain amount of stack at one point to heal. But it was kinda bad. Only reason to keep stack would be to use them for something. Like proc a shield or something like that
Stacks consume on taking dmg to heal a small bit. No stacks would not have that, but still give the +% to heals on target.
Why keep stack then. They have their own internal cooldown. They way u describe it is useless cause its the same has having no stack at all. Similar to storm shield
I think a better version and a more unique idea would be: make the stacks a lot more resilient. Just to make my point, say 50% chance to refund a stack when consumed. And that could apply to dispelled to. But if an 8 stack is purged each one does the roll and say it leaves 4 after the purge.
Make it similar to blistering scales but say with lava burst casts, 1 stack for a lava burst cast and 2 for a proc. This could reward shaman play while letting it be largely unaffected in pve content. In pvp it probably still would have to be re applied.
