However, I suspect that it's safe to assume that Divine Aegis and Power Word: Shield work similarly with regards to the target's armor, which is to say that armor mitigation reduces the incoming damage before the shield takes its chunk out. To use your example, the boss swings for 100k, the tank's armor reduces that by 70% to 30k, and then the Divine Aegis reduces the 30k by whatever shielding it has left.

Is the DA damage taken mitigated by the tanks armor? Like if a boss swings for 100k unmitigated does the DA take 10k off that making it 90k which is then applied to the tanks armor 90k * .30 = 27k as opposed to 100k * .30 = 30k - 10k(DA) = 20k? Not that anybody here goes that deep into things... :D Hmm… 10k hp isn’t as OP as 50 million I suppose. Is the DA damage taken mitigated by the tanks armor?

Quoting the 3.1 patch notes:

Divine Aegis – Divine Aegis effects will now stack, however the amount absorbed cannot exceed 125*level (of the target).

125*80(assuming in raids) means that DA can stack but cannot absorb more than 10k.

That can't be right. I know I'm reading it wrong. huh? so everytime a priest crits it adds to the DA? so basically all you have to do is have a bunch of priests sit around and stack crits on a tank until the DA reachs 50 million and then run and just refresh the DA every so often…
