How it works

Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 39.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 20. Its base value is 1 per tick. It ticks every 2 sec.

What it does

Tidal Shield is a Frost spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 45 sec. When cast it applies an aura and applies an aura every 2 sec.

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.
