Surround an ally with a shield of lightning that absorbs 26.74 damage. Attackers suffer 8 on hit.

How it works

Spells that share its cooldown category wait 3 sec after it is cast. Casting it triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown. Its dispel type is client id 1. Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 69. Its base value is 26.74.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 42. It triggers Storm Shield.

What it does

Storm Shield is a Nature spell with a 2 sec cast, a range of 20 yards, a 12 sec cooldown and effects that last 20 sec. When cast it applies an aura. It also casts Storm Shield (record #372491).

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.
