The caster retreats within its shell for 3 sec. The Hardened Shell reduces all damage received by 40%.

How it works

Hardened Shell is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 87. Its base value is 40.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 12.

What it does

Hardened Shell is a spell with a 2 sec cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 3 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.
