How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 79.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 39.

What it does

Divine Shield is a Holy spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 6 sec. When cast it applies an aura. The client files the whole spell under the invulnerable mechanic.

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.
