Causes 100 arcane damage to any creature that strikes a nearby minion.

How it works

It does not trigger the global cooldown, so it can be used between other casts. Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 15. Its base value is 100. Its area radius is 100 yards.

What it does

Damage Shield is an Arcane spell with an instant cast, a range of 35 yards, a 30 sec cooldown and effects that last 10 sec. When cast it applies an aura in a 100 yard radius.

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.
