Heals an ally for 1000 damage every 3 sec. and increases its armor by 3000 for 1 min.

How it works

Its dispel type is client id 1.

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 674. Its base value is 3000. It scales with 1 times spell power.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 8. Its base value is 1000 per tick. It scales with 1 times spell power. It ticks every 3 sec, 20 times over the full 1 min (20000 base in total).

What it does

Barkskin is a Nature spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 1 min. When cast it applies an aura and applies an aura every 3 sec.

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the WoW Forever beta client, build 1.60.1.70532. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
