Nature
ShamanTooltip
The caster is surrounded by a reactive lightning barrier. When a spell, melee or ranged attack hits the caster, the attacker will be struck for 1 Nature damage. This effect may only occur once every few seconds. Lasts 60 min.
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 aura procs every time its trigger condition is met. The aura is spent after 1 procs. It can proc at most once every 1.5 sec.
Lightning Shield is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:
- Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 4. Its base value is 13. It scales with 0.267 times spell power. It triggers Lightning Shield.
- Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 87.
What it does
Lightning Shield is a Nature spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 1 hr. When cast it applies an aura. It also casts Lightning Shield (record #26364).
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.
