How it works
Each cast of Void Shield costs 60 Energy. Casting it triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown. Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met. It can proc at most once every 1 sec.
Void Shield is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:
- Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 87. Its base value is -20.
- Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 42. It triggers Void Shield.
What it does
Void Shield is a Shadow spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster), a 10 sec cooldown and effects that last 30 sec. When cast it applies an aura. It also casts Void Shield (record #115240). It stacks up to 3 times.
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.
