Guardian Spirit

Tooltip

Calls upon a guardian spirit to watch over the friendly target for 10 sec, increasing healing received by 60%. If the target would die, the Spirit sacrifices itself and restores the target to 40% health.

Castable while stunned. Cannot save the target from massive damage.

How it works

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

Guardian Spirit is built from 3 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 118. Its base value is 60.
  2. Effect 2 is Dummy (effect type 3). Its base value is 40.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 316.

What it does

Guardian Spirit is a Holy spell with an instant cast, a range of 40 yards, a 3 min cooldown and effects that last 10 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.
