The previous mastery made that gap get wider and wider as the expansion went on, leading to the problem of increasing moments of vulnerability when active mitigation was down. It also provides a small source of baseline magic mitigation.įinally, the gap between Shield of the Righteous uptime and downtime, in terms of mitigation, is less dramatic. While standing in Consecration still has some value, your core buttons no longer rely on it, and the loss of mitigation from being outside it is much smaller than Legion. If you don't have to move, you have to replace it less often, and if you do have to move, you can replace it much more quickly. Second, Consecration is easier to work with. First, Avenger's Shield is back to having some baseline defensive value, which pulls the rotation together by making you care about both hit and Hammer of the Righteous other than for pickups/damage.

Listing all at once because they're all pieces of the same goals.

Mastery: Divine Bulwark reduces all damage you take while in Consecration (instead of increasing Shield of the Righteous effectiveness).Consecration cooldown 4.5s (from 9s) and duration 12s (from 9s), but you can only have one down at once.Consecration no longer buffs Shield of the Righteous and.Mostly focused on smoothing out issues in the core rotation and active mitigation.
