Tooltip

Protects the target with an earthen shield, increasing the effectiveness of Shaman healing spells on that target by 20%, and causing attacks to heal the shielded target.. Lasts 10 min. This effect can only occur once every few seconds.

Earth Shield can only be placed on one target at a time, only one Earth Shield may be on a target at a time, and only one of your Elemental Shields can be active on you at once.

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 9 procs. It can proc at most once every 3.5 sec.

Earth Shield is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 4. Its base value is 150. It scales with 1 times spell power.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 4. Its base value is 20.

What it does

Earth Shield is a Nature spell with an instant cast, a range of 40 yards and effects that last 10 min. When cast it applies an aura.
