While below 50% health, absorbs 75% of damage taken instead.

How it works

Spells that share its cooldown category wait 20 sec after it is cast. It does not trigger the global cooldown, so it can be used between other casts. Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 69.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 4. Its base value is 25.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 4. Its base value is 75.
  4. Effect 4 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 4. Its base value is 50.

What it does

Spirit Ward is a Nature spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster), a 2 min cooldown 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.
