Priest Aggro in Parties

[mjdoom]

I wouldn't necessarily use it prior to every fight but it is useful for boss encounters or where you can count on the tank having more than one mob on him. Shielding prior to pulling does not affect aggro once the mob is pulled.

I think it comes down to a question of mana management. If you can effectively shield before battle without it negatively affecting your mana situation then there is no reason not to. If that is contributing to a negative mana situation then you should only be using it if necessary.
