When Nalorakk casts, Zul'jarra creates a protective barrier reducing damage taken from by 80% to players behind her.

How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Trigger Spell (effect type 64). It triggers Defensive Stance.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 395.

What it does

Defensive Stance is a spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 10.1 sec. When cast it applies an aura. It also casts Defensive Stance (record #1270826).

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.
