Requirements
- Holy Shield learned; source first-learning level 40.
- Select Holy Shield in Protection with a legal allocation (31 tree points including rank 1). Requires Templar's Bulwark at rank 1.
- Requires Shields
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.
- This does not equip a shield or guarantee a block. Enemy-facing and combat conditions still apply.
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.
