Think this ability is pretty cool? Yeah, definitely. OH WAI-

Draugr, Helm of the Everlasting King

Get this Legion world-drop legendary helm, and you can continue to use any attacks/abilities while Aspect of the Turtle is active. Enjoy your hybrid "Deterrence meets Divine Protection" ability that has literally no downside and still lets you attack without even any outgoing damage reduction - most likely even *more* useful for our upcoming "Melee Survival" Hunters.

The legendary items are all very cool and very interesting, but not many are as game-changing as this one. Can't wait to spend 12 hours a day farming for this sucker with the rest of you, hooray!

This ability will replace Deterrence in Legion. This information is current as of Feb 11/16.

Note a few differences:

Deterrence is learned at level 78. Aspect of the Turtle is available at level 50.
Deterrence has 2 charges, with a 3 minute cooldown per charge. Aspect of the Turtle is a single use ability with a 3-minute cooldown.
Deterrence has a 5 second duration, while Aspect of the Turtle lasts 8 seconds.
Major glyphs are being removed in Legion, and all glyphs will have Minor glyph capabilities (mostly cosmetic). As such, there will no longer be the option to reflect spells with the previous Glyph of Mirrored Blades.

Here's a little useful macro to keep the healing effect of "Mimiron's Shell" but remove the shell.

#showtooltip Aspect of the Turtle
/cancelaura Aspect of the Turtle
/cast Aspect of the Turtle

1st click activates Aspect of the Turtle with the shell & healing and 2nd click deactivates the shell effect, but keeps the healing effect.

About as useful as Scorpid Sting in the old days... my goodness. At least let us attack while we use Aspect of the Turtle....

Comment by Volitar

I personally prefer Deterence but whatever it fits for BM and SV but why does Marksmen have this?

Comment by lordmerlin

Blizzard needs to update the tooltip on this ability. It doesnt work against many "attacks". Very weak compared to the defensive cooldowns of nearly every other class.

Comment by Zbarcea

as usefull as a condom in a monastery in todays pvp.

Also known as "Aspect of Prolonged Death" in PvP.

Comment by Gizmok

I would love to see a glyph to turn the visual effect of this into the old Deterrence visual. I vastly prefer that one personally.
