from what i know, it must include a 10% absorb shield reduction too (added as hotfix), maybe its another additional spell?

According to this blue post there was "an additional change via an in-game fix so that the PvP healing debuff in Arenas, Battlegrounds, and Wintergrasp now also lowers the effectiveness of Power Word: Shield and Sacred Shield by 10%."

So if the spell works as intended (no reason why it should not), then the 10% absorb shield reduction should be included.

[darkstalker]

spells listed there have only the healing reduction part

What I'm saying is that the healing reduction spells include the shield reduction, so the patch is good.

I don't know what spell blizz use for absorb reduction. With a big chance it can be a server-side spell...

no it doesn't. Read the dbc's.

bump, simple patch.

This spell includes an absorb shield effect in the description too but doesn't have anything on dbc about it. So it could be an "special" effect (linked to healing mod maybe)

Would it be also possible to use spell_area for this reducing issue?

[darkstalker]

yea, but much more work imho, would need 1 entry for each bg map, besides i somwhat dislike toying with sql and prefer doing things with code

if its on battleground code can be added just once for all bg's
