Tooltip

Reduces all damage you take by 40% for 8 sec.

How it works

It works on charges (charge category 1929); the charge count and recharge time live in a client table the datamine does not carry, so they are not stated here. It does not trigger the global cooldown, so it can be used between other casts.

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 87. Its base value is -40.

What it does

Shield Wall is a spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 8 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.
