Fire Shield

Tooltip

Surrounds an ally with a shield of flame that inflicts 50 Fire damage to nearby enemies every 3 sec. Lasts 15 sec.

How it works

It does not trigger the global cooldown, so it can be used between other casts. Its dispel type is client id 1. Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 23. Its base value is 10 per tick. It ticks every 3 sec, 5 times over the full 15 sec (50 base in total). It triggers Fire Shield Effect.

What it does

Fire Shield is a Fire spell with an instant cast, a range of 30 yards, a 15 sec cooldown and effects that last 15 sec. When cast it applies an aura every 3 sec. It also casts Fire Shield Effect.

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the Burning Crusade client, build 2.5.6.70006. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
