How it works

It does not trigger the global cooldown, so it can be used between other casts. Its dispel type is client id 1.

Rune Shield 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 50000.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 193. Its base value is 100.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 37.

What it does

Rune Shield is a Nature spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster), a 1 sec cooldown and effects that last 15 sec. When cast it applies an aura.

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the MoP Classic client, build 5.5.4.70531. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
