Blood Barrier

Tooltip

Inflict Shadow damage split between all nearby enemies, and form a Blood Barrier on yourself. The Blood Barrier absorbs damage for 10 sec.

Damage and absorption are increased for each enemy struck, up to 5 enemies.

How it works

Spells that share its cooldown category wait 20 sec after it is cast. It does not trigger the global cooldown, so it can be used between other casts.

Blood Barrier is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its area radius is 8 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Dummy (effect type 3). Its base value is 5.

What it does

Blood Barrier is a Shadow spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and a 2 min cooldown. When cast it deals Shadow damage in an 8 yard radius.

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the current retail game build. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
