May work on Hour of Twilight to help a poor soaker. Can put at the end only to go down instantly and reduce almost nothing. On Hagara you can negate a lot of different spells and there are a few big hitting spells, so this could be a lifesaver. On Yor'sahj you have another CD for the tank during purple ooze or just a general cooldown. On Warlord Zon'ozz you just get another defensive CD for black phase, also helps people stack quicker. If you are still on morchok HC, this could take the edge of a crystal blast that happens right after/before a stomp. This has many uses in HC Dragon Soul from what I can see.ġ. As someone said, it can almost completely negate a AoE attack, aslong as everyone gets hit big and at the same time. *Power Word: Barrier used to absorb an amount of damage (that scaled with the priests spell power) just like Anti-Magic Zone, but was then changed to reduce all damage by 30%.Ĭomment by XsoundMy guild is currently 3/8 HC DS and we are thinking of having our unholy DK pick this up. This way it would be worth it to spec into for PvE as some sort of defensive cooldown for the raid and in PvP it wouldn't just be gone in 2 seconds! I wonder if it could ever receive the *Power Word: Barrier treatment, where it would reduce spell damage by a set amount (75%) for 10 seconds, no absorption mechanics. (I pulled the numbers out of my ass for the sake of the example! :P)įor further examples, my Anti-Magic Zone only absorbs 31k spell damage, which is gone instantly in PvP and PvE scenarios. If the formula was just 30k AP + 4xAP it would be fine, considering these absorbs don't take into account any resilience you have when you cast it, meaning that, for example, a 10k damage Frostbolt against you would deal 20k against the Anti-Magic Zone, reducing its effectiveness by quite a lot. It was fine for 80, but doesn't scale well now. >.< If you have 5 melee/tanks, 4600 damaged absorbed really isn't going to make or break anything or save the tanks, and will be hardly noticed.Ĭomment by ArMeDSuRvIvOrHonestly, I can't help but feel this ability is weak at level 85. Comment by Asclepius99I was really considering picking this up for my dps spec because there's very little Heroic bosses I can think of where it wouldn't be great to have an anti-magic zone toward the end of a fight or when aoe damage is at its worst.īut then I came here to examine it and found that the 23,066 damage it absorbs is already taking into account the AP bonus.
