How it works

It does not trigger the global cooldown, so it can be used between other casts.

Shield Block is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 51. Its base value is 100.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 561. Its base value is 100.

What it does

Shield Block is a spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster), a 1 min cooldown and effects that last 10 sec. When cast it applies an aura.

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.
