A void barrier surrounds the Rift Simulacrum, absorbing damage equal to 99% of its maximum health. While this barrier persists, it inflicts 8 Shadow damage to all players every 1 sec.

How it works

Cosmic Barrier is built from 4 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 69. Its base value is 500.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 23. It ticks every 1 sec, 600 times over the full 10 min. It triggers Cosmic Barrier.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 4. Its base value is 99.
  4. Effect 4 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 61. Its base value is 35.

What it does

Cosmic Barrier is a Shadow spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 10 min. When cast it applies an aura and applies an aura every 1 sec. It also casts Cosmic Barrier (record #1261289).

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.
