Shield Wall

Shield Wall is a level 48 Protection warrior ability. When activated it reduces damage taken by 40% for 12 seconds. It has a 3 minute cooldown.

Tips and tactics

 * Shield wall is one of the most powerful forms of damage reduction in the game, and is very effective at keeping the warrior alive. In addition, shield wall does not drop aggro, so it allows a warrior to continue tanking.
 * Shield Wall is a great panic button, and is useful when you just have to survive a little bit longer. Examples include an OOM healer, just a few adds too many, an enraged end-instance/Raid Boss, too many stacks of a debuff that reduces healing received, or a battleground flag run.

Trivia

 * Shield Wall is a Rare Warrior ability card in the World of Warcraft: Trading Card Game's Blood of Gladiators series.
