How it works

It works on charges (charge category 2220); the charge count and recharge time live in a client table the datamine does not carry, so they are not stated here. Casting it triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown.

Holy Bulwark is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Trigger Missile (effect type 32). It triggers Holy Bulwark.
  2. Effect 2 is Energize (effect type 30). Its base value is 3.

What it does

Holy Bulwark is a Holy spell with an instant cast and a range of 40 yards. When cast it launches a missile and restores a resource (base value 3). It also casts Holy Bulwark (record #432496).

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.
