Tooltip

Cover yourself with Hellsteel Plates, reducing damage taken and your movement speed by 3% per plate, for 15 sec.

Taking damage ruptures one plate, removing it and releasing forth a pillar of Shadowflame that deals damage to all enemies in its path. This effect may only occur once every 2 sec. Upon expiration, all remaining plates rupture.

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. Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met. It can proc at most once every 2 sec.

Hellsteel Plating is built from 4 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 14.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 33. Its base value is 3.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 4.
  4. Effect 4 is Dummy (effect type 3). It triggers Enduring Dreadplate.

What it does

Hellsteel Plating is a Physical, Fire and Shadow spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster), a 2 min cooldown and effects that last 15 sec. When cast it applies an aura. It also casts Enduring Dreadplate. It stacks up to 5 times.

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.
