What is a bubble

In raid yesterday my co lead said something about a priest bubble and I said priests don’t have bubble that’s a pallie thing and apparently he meant power word shield? Ngl I was tilted beyond belief at the idea of someone calling an absorb shield a bubble.

Plz help me GD, am I the crazy one for thinking we should not call power word shield bubble?

i just call it shield but yeah bubble is more reserved for pallys. kinda the same thing but eh it’ll confuse some.

Divine Shield. Power Word Shield. I guess all “Shield” spells are “bubbles”.

Pretty sure priest bubble refers to Power Word: Barrier. I call Power Word: Barrier and Anti-Magic Zone priest and dk bubbles. I call Spirit Link Totem the circle of life.

I have never heard anyone call PW: Shield a Bubble before.
But then again I’ve also never heard anyone have to call out for a Priest to use it.

Why is a raid lead calling out PW: Shield?

It’s like, the same animation though? I’ve thought of pw:s as a bubble but if you told me frost barrier was a frost bubble I’d look at you as if you were odd.

Yeah I haven’t heard it called out since we had class leaders in Vanilla for 40 man raids and even then it was maybe one fight in BWL.

On that note I will use bubble for HoP and DI because I’m not saying HaNd of Protection. It’s BOP, dammit.

I always called barrier power dome

Yes, you’re crazy. PW:S (and Life Cocoon) literally encase you in a bubble of protection.

Priest bubble? Seen it called that since vanilla

It’s…a bubble. Easiest way to describe it.

Arch-wings+rapture means no soup for me, so I better kick penance to give them false sense of security.

Power Word: Barrier does look like a big yellow half-bubble that covers multiple players. Maybe that’s what they meant, but I think it’s only available to Disc; pretty sure Holy and Shadow don’t have that spell.

Somebody’s really going to have to burst this raid leader’s bubble…
