PW:S Question

Just curious, how much on average do your PW:S absorb, including SP and everything?
And if you could include how much that heals for too, that'd be great.
Just wondering...
Thanks

As Disc and with ~2100 SP including Inner Fire, it eats around 6k damage. The healing is usually around 1.5 - 2k with the Glyph.

On average mine's around 6-6.5k absorb, but with random spellpower (Eye of the Broodmother, Lightweave) procs and a Divine Aegis proc, I can get it up to 7k. And yeah, somewhere around ~1500 as well on the heal via the glyph.

the heal gets benefit from SP aswell i guess...
gets double benefit then - the SP increases the absorption so it will increase healing, and the healing itself will get a benefit from SP...
its only explanation I see..

You can have Holy shields be larger than discipline shields with the same gear depending on your talent selection.Discipline shields are cooler. How you seen how they shimmer in the light?
And I don't get people who say it absorbs ~6k, yet who claim to have 1.5k heals from the glyph on average... The glyph heals for 20% of the amount shielded, if it heals for 1.5k (non-crit), it means it shielded for 7.5k, right?
Sort of kind of. The shield cannot crit, not ever. The amount of absorption is fixed, scaling only with talents and spell power. However, the glyph's
heal
CAN crit. So if you run at 40% crit raid-buffed:
Shield = 6000 (for example)
Heal (normal) = 1200
Heal (crit) = 1800
Heal (average) = 0.4(1800) + 0.6(1200) = 1440

Actually Aldones' formula's are wrong for Holy and Discipline.
It really just depends on what talents you take.

So for Holy Shields (based on the spec above) the output is:
*1.05*1.15*1.1 = 6,499
And for Disc the output is:
* 1.09 * 1.15 = 7,037
However for Holy you also can add Blessed Resillience if you have it AND Test of Faith SHOULD (it's the only thing I never tested even though it'd be easy to test) you use it on targets below 50% hp.
6,499 * 1.12 = 7,279 for the Holy spec posted if ToF applies, which I can't imagine why it wouldn't.
If you actually read what I posted there, it deals with normal specs. I'd prefer not to go into all of that though, as it was a nice lengthy debate thread about a month ago concerning that. I also stated at the very beginning of the thread what increases your shield. Those values are based off of what wowwiki.com says, not my own calculations.
Assuming you have
normal
talents, my formulas are correct. Obviously there's always an exception to the rule, but for most holy/shadow priests, spending 3 tp to increase their PW:S isn't worth it.
However, we are both wrong on the amount of absorption from sp PW:S normally gets. It's 80.68%.
