Decreases the damage taken by the Water Elemental by 50% for 5 sec.

How it works

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 -50.

What it does

Water Shield is a Frost spell with an instant cast, an unlimited range, a 5 sec cooldown and effects that last 5 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.
