Divine Shield provides a protective celestial barrier around a paladin and the paladin's group, increasing the chance to block incoming blows. This requires using a shield. Using EVOKE will self-cast the spell without the group effect.

The chance to block has a base of 10%. Training in Spiritual Lore, Blessings increases this chance to 11% at 3 ranks, to a maximum of 27% at 187 ranks (unenhanced). Block chance is also modified by the attacker's level. Any group member that leaves the paladin's group will lose the effect of the spell.

When Divine Shield is active, Zealot (1617) cannot be cast.
