Bodyguard

Tooltip

Protect an ally, causing 40% of all Physical damage they take to be transfered to you. When the target takes Physical damage, your Shield Slam cooldown has a 30% chance to be reset. Bodyguard is cancelled if the target is further than 20 yards from you. Lasts 1 min.

Only one target can be Bodyguarded at a time.

How it works

Casting it triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown. Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 81. Its base value is 40.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 226. Its base value is 20 per tick. It ticks every 1 sec, 60 times over the full 1 min (1200 base in total).

What it does

Bodyguard is a spell with an instant cast, a range of 10 yards, a 15 sec cooldown and effects that last 1 min. When cast it applies an aura and applies an aura every 1 sec.

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.
