The scarab begins with 8 applications of Hardened Carapace and naturally loses an application every 3 sec over 24 sec.

How it works

Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

Harden Carapace is built from 4 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 87. Its base value is -10.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 23. It ticks every 3 sec, 8 times over the full 24 sec.
  3. Effect 3 is Dummy (effect type 3). Its base value is 8.
  4. Effect 4 is Dummy (effect type 3). Its base value is 80.

What it does

Harden Carapace is a spell with an instant cast, an unlimited range and effects that last 24 sec. When cast it applies an aura and applies an aura every 3 sec. It stacks up to 8 times.

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.
