How it works

Each cast of Holy Shield costs 200 Mana. Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 43. Its base value is 3.4453.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 51. Its base value is 75.

What it does

Holy Shield is a Holy spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 8 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.
