Notes that apply by 40

  • Power Word: Shield (Soul Warding: 4-second shorter cooldown, cheaper) on the tank before damage, Penance on cooldown, Flash Heal or Greater Heal with Divine Fury.
  • Divine Aegis turns every crit heal into an absorb; Renewed Hope gives shielded targets more crit chance. Power Infusion on a caster or on yourself.
