      Not worth a slot when it won’t change HTK against mages. Holy Ground is better and covers physical. I’m fact, I believe this spell was originally meant to cover physical (35 fth requirement + massive fp/stamina cost) but they decided that might be too much. Idk a 10-20% physical bump would be worth it and still better balanced than BFP which is within too easy reach of str builds that already pack high phys resistance. As mentioned below this is a really good incant on paper but fails to change HTK against optimized casters.

        Long write up but important: It’s technically really good. But practically it’s really bad. This has the highest fp/stamina cost of all the buffs, making it extremely punishable to cast, similar to regen or erdtree heal. And all for just 30% boost that may not even change HTK against mages… Even against Gideon on NG7, I went for just Lords Protection. If you have only one spell slot for a PvP buff, BoG is way better considering mages get 3 minutes to chip you down with swift pebble, that can literally win trades against a great sword. G9 is a moron for saying these buffs need a nerf when the weaker ones don’t change HTK against my mage. BoG is dangerous against my mage but we have so many options to get around BoG that I could never call it unfair… and ultimately I choose to be nice and allow ppl the buff. G9 himself got destroyed when trying to buff against pros who know how to punish. He’s also biased: he’s a 60 vigor, heavy armor strength build with massive physical/fire resistances and infinite i frames with bhs, and uses talismans to get the best elemental buffs. He has the absolute tankiest set up while invading 1200hp noobs. But boy when he tried buffing against other pros, he got rocked.

            If you want to give your allies some fire negation this is the only option you have. Maybe dlc will solve this issue

              Good for casters who don’t want to have all 5 or so high level buffs in their spell slots. For str/fth melee however, you should have all buff types. Golden vow against other melee builds, erdtree protection against dex or other faith, dragon bolt blessing for status builds and so on and so forth. Barrier of Gold is definitely the most important to have tho. Lords divine fortification and fame protect me can be sacrificed since fire/holy builds are rarer and you’re already massively resistant to fire by leveling vigor/str. Tree sentinel armor is also very high fire negation and so is prophet starting attire. Golden land ash let’s you buff/heal/chug at any point mid combat. Have fun fellow paladins

                For STR+FTH users, just use the Faith-knot Crystal Tear, so you can comfortably have 25 faith while still being able to use this incredible spell in boss fights or PVP.

                  This is a great spell to be used against other faith users since they have multiple types of damage like lightning , holy , and fire

                    I like Paladin`s build.
                    With Protection and Golden Vow you can get 50% resistance for all stats without any problems.
                    And if you use defence talisman`s even 80%.
                    Don`t forget about alchemist bubble, hah.

                      For Those Having Trouble Finding It; Go To End of The Bridge (Where you first find Gold Mask) Then Look Bellow To The East, You Should See It On Top of A Square Stone Platform.

                        For anyone who is having trouble finding this, it's on a stone platform on the top of the cliff East of Goldmask.

                          Would have been much better if it was as powerful as great magic barrier in ds2 (there it did the same thing but with much higher numbers) considering how much damage spells and incantations can do in this game with elemental infused weapons not far behind...

                            In Comparison:
                            - Protection of the Erdtree: 30% to Magic , Fire, Lightning and Holy damage.
                            - Elemental Fortification: 35% to the respective element.
                            - Barrier of Gold: 60% to Magic only.
                            - Golden Vow: 15% to Magic , Fire, Lightning and Holy damage.
                            - All of them stack with golden vow but not each other.

                              Increases all non-physical negation by 30%. Weaker then the element-specific fortification spells, but excellent when facing multiple elements or unsure of what to bring. It does stack with Golden Vow.

                                it's on Altus Plateau, (-81,91) coordinates, dropped by a Tear Scarab on a platform near the broken bridge. South of East Windmill Pasture.
