How it works
Casting it triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown. Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met. It can proc at most once every 1 sec.
Lightning Shield is built from 5 client effects, applied in this order:
- Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 42. Its base value is 2. It triggers Lightning Shield.
- Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 4. Its base value is 30.
- Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 4. Its base value is 50.
- Effect 4 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 137.
- Effect 5 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 4. Its base value is 5.
What it does
Lightning Shield is a Nature spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 1 hr. When cast it applies an aura. It also casts Lightning Shield (record #192109).
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.
