How it works

Each cast of Fire Shield costs 210 Mana. Its dispel type is client id 1. Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 15. Its base value is 50.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 558. Its base value is 100.

What it does

Fire Shield is a Fire spell with an instant cast, a range of 30 yards and effects that last 3 min. 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.
