Divine Protection

Tooltip

Reduces all damage you take by 20% for 8 sec. Usable while stunned.

How it works

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

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 87. Its base value is -20.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 118.

What it does

Divine Protection is a Holy spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster), a 1 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.
