Surrounds you with a barrier of whirling bones, reducing all damage you take by 16% and increasing your Haste by 10%. Each damaging attack consumes a charge. Lasts 30 sec or until all charges are consumed.

How it works

Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

Bone Shield is built from 3 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 69.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 193. Its base value is 10.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 4. Its base value is 16.

What it does

Bone Shield is a Shadow spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 30 sec. When cast it applies an aura. 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.
