How it works

It does not trigger the global cooldown, so it can be used between other casts. Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 87. Its base value is -50.

What it does

Water Shield is a Frost spell with an instant cast, an unlimited range, a 5 sec cooldown and effects that last 5 sec. When cast it applies an aura.
