Protects the caster from all attacks and spells for 8 sec., but also increases the time between attacks by 100% during that time.

How it works

Each cast of Divine Shield costs 75 Mana.

Divine Shield is built from 3 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 39.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 319. Its base value is -100.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 39.

What it does

Divine Shield is a Holy spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 8 sec. 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.
