How it works

Deflection is built from 3 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 393. Its base value is 200.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 51. Its base value is 200.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 561. Its base value is 200.

What it does

Deflection is a spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 8 sec. When cast it applies an aura.

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the MoP Classic client, build 5.5.4.70631. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.

Multiple client spell records exist

The game client stores 10 separate Spell records named "Deflection". This page is record #128346. They are not merged: each record can belong to a different difficulty, caster, rank or tuning, so each keeps its own page.
