Counterplay
Open cheat sheetDivine Shield plus a spellbook. Consecration makes the node theirs. Hammer of Justice on the connecting melee is how Avenger's Shield then silences the healer. Guardian of Ancient Kings and Ardent Defender are the walls — not Avenging Wrath.
Kick
Interrupt Repentance first if they talented it. Kick Holy Light only if they plant on the node and Repentance is down. Flash of Light last, and only after Divine Shield is burned.
Watch for
They Divine Shield themselves when damage is real. Guardian of Ancient Kings plus Consecration holds the node. Hammer of Justice into Avenger's Shield silences your healer.
Biggest mistake
Dumping a full go into Divine Shield, or meleeing Consecration plus Shield of the Righteous as if they were a damage paladin.
Important abilities
Divine Shield defensive
Full immunity. Don't blow CDs; look for bubble-hearth / bubble-rest.
Wake of Ashes offensive
