I've got an EU account so don't think I can post on the official thread.

How about some kind of system where shield specialisation of a high level prot spec talent allowed successful blocks to pass some of the blocked damage or threat onto a nearby enemy. Something to help with rage generation when overgeared for an area, help keep aggro on multi mobs but hopefully balance it to leave paladins etc with thier multimob speciality?

That's keeping with the spirit of tanking. >.>

"I'm sick of getting bruised from head to toe by the time I finish tanking for the day, here, eat a few facebashes for me, will ya?"

Now I can never spot sarcasm on forums and have no idea what >.> means so I'll reserve judgement. Was just a thought anyway and obviously could be modified to work on a shield block type skill or something.

I was kidding. It would obviously not be in the spirit of the Tank to get lazy and let a couple clothies get smacked around before sauntering in and resume tanking. However, I misread what you said, so uh... whooosh, that one went over my head.

Incredible feedback. Thanks for posting.

Sorry for resurecting an old thread, just wanted to quote myself so you can all thank me for inventing Damage Shield last week
