So, this one has baffled me for awhile. My understanding of a standard shield bash (w/out silence) was that it disrupts your casting in that book of spells, but why does it effect pw:s, which is in the discipline line, when it interrupts a holy spell?

I think the school of magic is offensive vs. defensive. Or something along those lines. So if you get bashed during a heal, you lose pw:s since thats a "defensive" spell. And if you get bashed during a mindblast, you lose mana burn, smite, etc. Its still confusing for me however.

Because the school of magic refers to shadow, holy, nature, etc. not which talent tree it's on. PW:S is a holy spell, as are your heals. If one of your heals get's bashed then all the other holy spells you have, including PW:S will go on the timer.

Pretty sure shield is discipline.

Btw I've never had kick bring down a priest's shield when I use it to interrupt a heal, so that sounds like a bug with shield bash exclusively.

No you're still not getting it, the spell school refers to the type of magic involved NOT what tree it's on. Arcane, shadow, frost, nature, fire, holy. Those are the schools of magic, note the lack of discipline. If you sheild bash during the casting of a holy spell then all other holy spells will go on the timer regardless of what tree or line they're on.

-edit-
I probably wasn't totally clear, I'm almost positive the stuff under the discipline line get's put in as holy.

"Still" not? I don't recall making a post about it prior to that one.

Shield is a disc spell in the book, but since there isnt a type of magic called Discipline its considered holy. since the interupt is across a spell type eg. Fire, or Holy.

If you didn't get it after I explained it then yes "still not getting it".

This is correct, even tho it's gay for priests.
