How it works

Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

Safeguard is built from 3 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 411. Its base value is 1.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 453. Its base value is 10000.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 42. It triggers Safeguard.

What it does

Safeguard is a spell with an instant cast and no range (it targets the caster). When cast it applies an aura. It also casts Safeguard (record #424655).

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.
