Lock + Pally Bubble

Vaida · December 27, 2007, 02:06 AM

I haven't bothered to test it for myself or anything yet. I was wondering if lock dots everyone up, and then gets a pally bubble to protect himself, do the dots still damage them and you just cant cast dots on them, or if the dots stop doing damage all together.

Im guessing you mean Blessing of Protection, since thats the only "bubble" a paladin can cast on others. BoP only prevents melee and ranged attacks, not spells. So a warlock that gets BoP can freely keep casting DoTS and other spells while being immune to melee damage, and previously cast DoT's will keep ticking.

From the wording of the buff, I get the impression that you can not attack.. Which includes casting offensive spells..

I'm not sure on this, though.

Spells work and dots remain.

Only physical attacks are prohibited. Just as it doesnt protect against spells.

Its often used in PvE to protect mages/locks while they AoE.

On my paladin I have used it in 2v2 to protect my priest buddy while he mindcontrols one of the other team. Works great against melee teams :D
