Bone Shield

How it works

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

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 69. Its base value is 2500. It scales with 1 times spell power.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 43. Its base value is 100. It scales with 1 times spell power.

What it does

Bone Shield is a Shadow spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 5 min. When cast it applies an aura.

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.
