Wraps the caster in a shield that lasts up to 8 sec, reflecting any absorbed damage back onto the attacker.

How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 69. Its base value is 1000000.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 12.
  3. Effect 3 is Trigger Spell (effect type 64). It triggers Riposte.

What it does

Riposte is a spell with a 2 sec cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 8 sec. When cast it applies an aura. It also casts Riposte (record #104730).

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 24 separate Spell records named "Riposte". This page is record #104729. They are not merged: each record can belong to a different difficulty, caster, rank or tuning, so each keeps its own page. The 12 records closest by id are compared here.
