If my guild ran a normal OT group then i definately would have as many points in Shield ally as i could mash into it. But im usually just in a melee group, something like

INQ
Dirge
ranger
assassin
bruiser
monk

and the bruiser and monk NEVER OT so no real reason to spec 8 pts into shield ally. i would though if it were something like...

Inq
dirge
zerker
asn
coercer
brig

^^ omg i would kill 4 that group.

With that group would much, MUCH rather have an illusionist than the coercer, and swap the brig for the raid's mystic and you are definitely in business.

Im leaning towards getting:
Str: 4-4-8-6-2
Agi: 4-4-8-6-2
Wis: 4-4-8-5
I hate dropping heal crits but getting Steadfast or Holy Shield is worth it.

2nd set up will probably be INT instead of STR as I like Holy Shield more than Steadfast.

Im not sure I would drop alot of points into shield ally if I had that grp all the time either.

BUT

If the ranger, ass, or bruiser pull aggro alot it "could" be a valuable tool for keeping them alive.

arturos

I have to agree with leorra i have that AA spec and when in a dps set OT group (trash killing) i place that ability on my agro whore. It helps me get to them while they are eating up my damn reactives, its not much but it does seem to help as they seem to be living more. I also am using the shield from SOF it has like 700+ protection on it or something.. shield of rainbow yada yada..

naturally when in tanking mode that ability goes on the zerker. of course.

mmmm coconut ice cream

Catseyes

i dont see messages from shield ally, so far i havent any proof of it's usefulness !
But ofc , having ~50-60 % chance to use my ~12 % avoidance , yeah, better put a stoneskin on them...

Anyone has stats about that AA ? or way to see it working ?
