Protects the target with an earthen shield, reducing casting or channeling time lost when damaged by 30% and causing attacks to heal the shielded target. This effect can only occur once every few seconds.. Lasts 10 min. Earth Shield can only be placed on one target at a time.
How it works
Casting it triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown. Its dispel type is client id 1. Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met. The aura is spent after 9 procs. It can proc at most once every 3.5 sec.
Earth Shield is built from 3 client effects, applied in this order:
- Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 4. Its base value is 28.
- Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 149. Its base value is 30.
- Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 4. Its base value is 1.
What it does
Earth Shield is a Nature spell with an instant cast, a range of 40 yards and effects that last 10 min. When cast it applies an aura.
