Power Word: Barrier

Power Word: Barrier is the Tier 7 Discipline priest talent ability, available after taking 30 points in the Discipline tree (including 3 points in Divine Aegis). It creates a barrier surrounding the target location that reduces all damage taken by friendly targets by 25% and prevents spellcasting from being interrupted by damage, for 10 seconds.

Improvements

 * Glyph of Power Word: Barrier increases the healing (damage absorbed) while under the barrier by 10%.

History
Power Word: Barrier was originally planned for patch 3.1.0, but was scrapped because other revamps in the patch ended up more extensive than was planned. In the Cataclysm priest review in April 2010, it was mentioned as one of the planned Discipline talents for Cataclysm.
