Looks like this stacking buff will be a new part of prot pally tanking. Everytime you use Shield of the Righteous, you gain this stacking buff of up to 5, increasing the effectiveness of your next Word of Glory on yourself by 10% per stack. It also looks like this buff will be increased by mastery through Divine Bulwark. ~~Add Sacred Shield for 30% increased crit chance, and~~ this will turn out to be a very powerful heal and in my opinion not overpowered since you will need to spend a lot of holy power before hand to make it big. Overall this is looking to be a nice change.

I'd hardly say it's overpowered. You'll need 5 shield of the righteous hits to fully stack it. Outside of enhanced HoP generation (Holy Avenger, Sanctified Wrath, orDivine Purpose), getting 5 shield hits will take a bit of time without any miss/dodge/parry.

I think this was added due to Word of Glory looking pretty lackluster compared to SotR for melee damage. Since there is no overheal bubble and SotR reducing all physical damage (even unblockable damage), WoG would likely only be used on pure magic damage fights and as an emergency heal. This keeps an element of "choice" for using HoP.

I presume taking Eternal Flame will upgrade the heal on Eternal Flame?

Comment by Solarflair

Currently as of Patch 5.4, Eternal Flame > Sacred Shield AND it is worth noting that it is most optimal to only use Eternal Flame (unless 'oh *** moment occurs) at 4 to 5 stacks of Bastion of Glory.

For WoW Warlords of Draenor 6.0.2:

On my Level 90 Paladin in Protection spec, the tooltip for Shield of the Righteous states for Bastion of Glory:

Increases the strength of your Eternal Flame when used to heal yourself by 33%. Stacks up to 5 times.

Obviously, the buff applied to Eternal Flame scales according to Level. According to the tooltip for Mastery on the paper doll (Character Pane) :
-----------------------------------------------------
Mastery 37.09% (8.00% + 29.09%)
Mastery: Divine Bulwark
Passive
Increases the damage reduction of
your Shield of the Righteous by 27%,
adds 27% to your Bastion of Glory,
and increases your chance to block
melee attacks by 37%.

Also increases your Attack Power by
37%.

Mastery: 669 (29.09%)
--------------------------------------------------

How Blizzard arrives at these numbers is, perhaps, less important than whether we have access to them via the Application Programming Interface for developing and maintaining addons. So far, that remains in doubt.

Unfortunately, at this time the passive spell Mastery: Divine Bulwark is not in the spellbook for Protection spec. Also missing from the spellbook for Protection spec is the passive spell Guarded by the Light..
