Requirements
- Divine Shield learned; source first-learning level 34.
Known limitations
- Not tested in the Forever client. Source beta names, acquisition and behaviour may change.
- English spell names only. Spell IDs identify source ranks; unqualified casts use the learned rank selected by the client.
- Keep the documented modifier bindings free. This key does not check whether a spell is learned or off cooldown and does not choose an alternative after failure.
- Removing an existing aura requires only that aura on you, not its training level or talent. The learning requirements apply to the cast branch.
- Shift only removes the aura; it never casts or immediately re-applies it.
- Cannot be cast while Forbearance is active; casting applies Forbearance. Removing the protection does not remove Forbearance.
- Immunity can cause enemies to switch targets. Use deliberately when tanking.
- Divine Shield reduces your damage while active.
Notes
- All-class expansion researched 27 September 2026. Actual learned spells, selected talents and other requirements control use; a recommended spec name does not grant abilities.
