Blessing of Sacrifice

This can also be used to free yourself from CC in PvP. Works best on sap/repentance/sheep as those break instantly when you take damage. Timing it is not easy, but it's extremely useful.

HOLY PALADINS HAVE TO LEARN TO USE THIS.

It is your main tank cool down yet i hardly see any holy paladins using it

As [spell=20140] is almost constantly over healing you anyways, as well as [spell=53557] if your specced into it. Transfering 30% of the damage to you could be thought of simply reducing damage taking on the tank by 30%.

Although it generally shouldn't be used in AoE situations as it doesn't reduce the damage the raid will take overall just spreads it out. Most tank deaths are not from too much damage taken, but too big of a unexpected burst taken that overwhelm the healers, this will alleviate that, if you do become nervous that you may die from it, or you do not think protector of the innocent will keep up with the damage, and you do not have mana to spare to heal the difference, it is perfectly possible to use divine protection, or divine shield at the same time as it,

When a player is the target of Hand of Sacrifice, and is also using a damage reducing cooldown of their own, what order are the two applied in?

Suppose the tank gets hit for 100,000 damage.

Suppose a paladin has places HoS on them and suppose the tank is also using a personal 50% damage reduction cooldown. The tank is going to take 35,000 damage in either case (50% of 70% of 100,000 or 70% of 50% of 100,000), but...

Will the paladin take 30,000 damage (meaning HoS went first, absorbed 30% of the full 100,000) or 15,000 (meaning the damage was reduced 50% before HoS was applied)?
