How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 87. Its base value is -25.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 143. Its base value is 25.

What it does

Shield Generator is a spell with an instant cast, a range of 40 yards and effects that last 20 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.
