Made an account pretty much to reply to this. First, Valanar isn’t really meant to help against priest as much as it helps against aggro. It also does not have divine shield as you mentioned, instead it gains taunt and lifesteal. With that being said, his statement about taking it back out for hellfire is justified. It depends on the matchups you are mainly running into whether or not hellfire/valanar would work better.
