Tooltip

Conjure a Guardian's Familiar to watch over up to nearby allies for 20 sec. 50% of damage each ally takes is transferred to you, up to total damage per target.

How it works

Spells that share its cooldown category wait 20 sec after it is cast. It does not trigger the global cooldown, so it can be used between other casts.

Guardian's Familiar is built from 3 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 69. Its area radius is 15 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Dummy (effect type 3).
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 4. Its base value is 50. Its area radius is 15 yards.

What it does

Guardian's Familiar is a spell with an instant cast, a range of 20 yards, a 2 min cooldown and effects that last 20 sec. When cast it applies an aura in a 15 yard radius.

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.
