Increases chance to block by 30% for 10 sec, and deals 4 Holy damage for each attack blocked while active. Each block expends a charge..

How it works

Its dispel type is client id 1. Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met. The aura is spent after 4 procs.

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 4.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 51. Its base value is 30.

What it does

Holy Shield is a Holy spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) 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.
