Tortoise shell question

[Miele]

Last ability in the AGI line to be clear. Question: if I have it up for my group and the tank is grouped with me vs. an AEing mob, will the AE hit all of us or only the tank? In other words does the protection break for the full group? According to the description, it would seem so, but I'm not sure :/ Thanks

<p>The tank would still get hit but the rest of the group would be immune.</p><p>So the 3M range really doesnt matter much for the tank but it would protect the rest of the group.</p>

<p>Typically you could have everyone stand on top of your and be very close to the tank so everyone is protected.</p>

yes but with the update on this Wednesday it makes shield effectiveness 100% so that will be hawt for the MT group yep yep the aoe will still hit the tank but his shield will be good to go

It doesnt't bring up the shield protection at all stat wise, at least for the druids shield(no clue about groups). Not exactly sure what that means or if its just bugged.

take a look at your avoidance with it up and without it up. It definitely increases it somehow. ie. it is working.
