How it works

Shield is built from 4 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 414. Its base value is 100.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 393. Its base value is 100.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 47. Its base value is 200.
  4. Effect 4 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 4.

What it does

Shield is a spell with an instant cast, a range of 100 yards and an effect that lasts until cancelled. 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.
