Sera_13.gif Activates a protective energy shield for a brief period. Incoming damage will be reduced and fully absorbed until energy is depleted or the shield's duration has come to an end. After use the energy used needs to be recharged for a considerable period of time.

Usage Strategies

Much information on the general usage of energy shields is given in the article Energy Shields.

The Improved Mirror modification appears to add a "Block Combat Art" effect, rather than a "Reflect: Combat Art" effect as it purports to.

The Capacity modification's increase of duration scales with Combat Art level. The Boost modification's decrease of cooldown also scales with Combat Art level. With both of these modifications, the duration begins to exceed the cooldown at CA level 34.2. At this point, it becomes practical to maintain Divine Protection 100% of the time.

As of patch 2.34, Divine Protection has a couple of apparent stacking bugs and can sometimes be drastically more powerful than it probably ought to be. These issues have been reported to Ascaron and may be changed in a future patch.
