30% Damage mitigation to whole raid

[Grizzam]

Divine Guardian (Tier 4 of Prot Paladin tree) has a known bug where the Paladin will keep abosorbing damage even after Divine Shield is no longer active. There's a few other posts on this website that say things like, 'avenging wrath with it up' (no longer causes the desired effect) and other similar ideas but none of them guarantee it.

Long story short when you cast divine shield, if you macro it off nigh-immedietly, it will always have the buff from DG remain on you. Although it's nothing insane or noteable, we tried this last night on Sapphiron and the Prot Paladin (who wasn't currently tanking) was taking 30% from everyone coming from Sapphiron's aura and it lasted until he died. Sadly, no screenshots.

But for any paladins out there willing to confirm, just either use a macro or have quick fingers and you'll see this works.

If this is really working it's awesome. Can any pallies confirm?

confirm please summone

[Salfiti]

Someone confirm this!

Yes it does work, it has worked since 3.0.3 went live. The only bad thing is that once the bubble goes away the Paladin is no longer immune to damage. I found that out the hard way when we did ROS and I got pretty much instagibbed taking 30% of everyones damage.

Confirmed, you can actually even put the buff on yourself without being in a party/raid. Just spam following macro:

/cast Divine Shield
/cancelaura Divine Shield

how would this work on yourself as a paladin soloing? o_O you would still take the damage that is "redirected"?

Is this working in 3.0.8?

Hmm I know a REALLY good exploit but I need to post 5 times...

It doesn't do anything if you're soloing, I just meant the fact that you can try it without being in a group ;]

Yes, it is working as of 3.0.8.
