PaladinTooltip
Reduces all damage taken by 50% for 12 sec. Once protected, the target cannot be targeted by Divine Shield, Divine Protection, or Hand of Protection again for 2 min. Cannot be used within 30 sec of using Avenging Wrath.
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.
Divine Protection is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:
- Effect 1 is Dummy (effect type 3). Its base value is -100.
- Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 87. Its base value is -50.
What it does
Divine Protection is a Holy spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster), a 3 min cooldown and effects that last 12 sec. When cast it applies an aura. The client files the whole spell under the invulnerable mechanic.
Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the Wrath of the Lich King client, build 3.80.2.69874. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
