How it works

Its dispel type is client id 1. Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 35. It scales with 0.267 times spell power.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 65. Its base value is -30.

What it does

Water Shield is a Frost spell with an instant cast, a range of 100 yards and effects that last 8 sec. When cast it deals Frost damage (base value 35) and 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.
