Tooltip
Grant an ally Writhing Ward for 10 sec, absorbing up to damage. If broken, the Ward coalesces into Writhing Ire, dealing Shadowflame damage over 6 sec to the last enemy to strike it.
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 dispel type is client id 1.
Writhing Ward is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:
- Effect 1 is Dummy (effect type 3). It triggers Ward of Faceless Ire.
- Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 69.
What it does
Writhing Ward is a Nature spell with an instant cast, a range of 40 yards, a 1 min cooldown and effects that last 10 sec. When cast it applies an aura. The client files the whole spell under the shielded mechanic. It also casts Ward of Faceless Ire.
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.
