You are protected from all physical attacks and spells for 8 sec, but during that time you cannot attack or use physical abilities yourself. Applies Forbearance for 1 min. Cannot be cast while Forbearance is active.
How it works
Each cast of Divine Protection costs 35 Mana. Casting it triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown. Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.
Divine Protection is built from 3 client effects, applied in this order:
- Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 25.
- Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 39.
- Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 39.
What it does
Divine Protection is a Holy spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster), a 5 min cooldown and effects that last 8 sec. When cast it applies an aura. The client files the whole spell under the invulnerable mechanic.
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.
