Comment by G00dG4m3

Let's see....

Shield Wall has base cooldown of 5 mins.
Shield mastery reduces its cooldown by 3 mins.
Glyph of Shield Wall INCREASES its cooldown by 2 mins.

To sum it up, this can have a 60% reduction for 12 secs once per 4 mins.

Edit: fixed the Capitalization of Wall in words Glyph of Shield Wall

You don't have to use the Glyph of Shield.

Comment by PVVN3D

this is so useful in pvp and when tanking. The fast cooldowns make the spells more constantly to use and should be spent the talents on

Comment by Katalo

I think this talent is an oft overlooked spec to take for an Arms warrior. Because I am a dwarf, I can stack Stoneform and Shield Wall together for a ~50% two minute cooldown damage reducer, which is quite potent, and I can also stack Shield Block on top for a ~70% magic damage reducer, saving my bacon against casters that manage to get away. I think this sort of defensive capability is something that Arms is lacking now, and this talent helps recover it.

Comment by xXxDSMer

Does this still increase chance to block or was that removed from this talent?
