How it works

Casting it triggers a 1 min global cooldown. Its dispel type is client id 1.

Arcane Barrier is built from 5 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 40.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 12.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 21. Its base value is 20 per tick. It ticks every 1 sec, 5 times over the full 5 sec (100 base in total).
  4. Effect 4 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 20. Its base value is 20 per tick. It ticks every 1 sec, 5 times over the full 5 sec (100 base in total).
  5. Effect 5 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 395.

What it does

Arcane Barrier is an Arcane spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 5 sec. When cast it applies an aura and applies an aura every 1 sec. The client files the whole spell under the invulnerable mechanic.

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.
