Uh, physical abilities don't work on bubble either, idiot.

Yet somehow, by the grace of God, dozens of other posters are able to go to wowhead and look up an ability they have a question about before posting here.

Not looking up the spell you ask about is moronic behavior. It's asking someone else to do your homework.

Divine Shield
3% of base mana
Instant cast 5 min cooldown
Protects the paladin from all damage and spells for 12 sec, but reduces all damage you deal by 50%. Once protected, the target cannot be protected by Divine Shield, Divine Protection or Hand of Protection again for 2 min. Cannot be used within 30 sec. of using Avenging Wrath.
I looked up the ability on Wowhead, but couldn't find any useful info in the 38 comments, so I copied the tooltip. Protects against all damage and spells. Okay, so I'm guessing taunts and snares are classified as spells. Fair enough. Nowhere does it say "all physical abilities," so don't use that as an excuse to be snide here.
If I hadn't played a Paladin myself, I'd be confused as hell by that tooltip. Why won't my non-damaging snares work? Why can't I land my taunt on the Paladin? Why does "all spells" exclude Mass Dispel? Are Blizzard megalazy when it comes to writing tooltips?
So, if people don't know how to classify Death Grip, and with a sh*tastic tooltip like that for Divine Shield, can you really blame them for seeking answers here? Personally, I'd give them the benefit of the doubt and answer their questions politely. Yet, somehow, you continue to be very rude about it.
I'm guessing all this 'I don't mean to be rude, but people need to help themselves' is just a load of bullsh*t you fling out in an attempt to hold the stuff together. Just say it like it is, Theo. You see people who know less about the game than you as lowly beings, unworthy of your time or a decent tone.
At least you'd be honest.
Edit: And in all honesty, I think you should move to a site more dedicated to theorycrafting. Not that your knowledge of the game has gone unnoticed here, but it seems that for every good, helpful and informative post you make, you also make a dozen where you ***** at people for not knowing what you know. Just saying.
