The caster channels void energies around an ally to protect them from harm reducing damage taken by 90%.

Each time an enemy strikes the shielded target a blast of energy is released inflicting Shadow damage to the enemy.

How it works

Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met. It can proc at most once every 3 sec.

Void Shield 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 -90.
  2. 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, a range of 30 yards and an effect that lasts until cancelled. When cast it applies an aura. It also casts Void Shield (record #146790).

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.
