Tips

• This spell is the primary pulling tool of protection paladins; it is ranged, does holy damage, and strikes up to three targets.
• This ability is a Smart Spell.
• In PvP, this ability is best used as an interrupt to spellcasters, due to its interrupt ability and 3 second silence.

Trivia

• The ability is a reference to Captain America (who is a member of the superhero group known as The Avengers), and his ability to ricochet his shield off of multiple targets and return to him.
