Surrounds an ally with a shield of flame that inflicts Fire damage to nearby enemies every 3 sec. Lasts 1 min.

How it works

It does not trigger the global cooldown, so it can be used between other casts. Its dispel type is client id 1.

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 23. It ticks every 3 sec, 20 times over the full 1 min. It triggers Fire Shield.
