Increases your parry chance by 100% and reduces all damage you take by 30% for 8 sec.

How it works

It does not trigger the global cooldown, so it can be used between other casts.

Die by the Sword is built from 3 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 47. Its base value is 100.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 87. Its base value is -30. It scales with 0.25 times spell power.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 197. It scales with 0.25 times spell power.

What it does

Die by the Sword is a spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster), a 2 min cooldown and effects that last 8 sec. When cast it applies an aura.

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.
