Nature
ShamanTooltip
The caster is surrounded by globes of water, granting 1% of your maximum mana per 5 sec. When a spell, melee or ranged attack hits the caster, 4% of maximum mana is restored to the caster. This expends one water globe. Only one globe will activate every few seconds. Lasts 10 min. Only one Elemental Shield can be active on the Shaman at any one time.
How it works
Casting it triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown. Its dispel type is client id 1. Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met. The aura is spent after 3 procs. It can proc at most once every 3.5 sec.
Water Shield is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:
- Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 42. Its base value is 100. It triggers Water Shield.
- Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 21. Its base value is 1 per tick. It ticks every 5 sec, 120 times over the full 10 min (120 base in total).
What it does
Water Shield is a Nature spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 10 min. When cast it applies an aura and applies an aura every 5 sec. It also casts Water Shield (record #408511).
Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the Classic Era client, build 1.15.9.70576. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
