How it works

Each cast of Fire Ward costs 85 Mana. Casting it triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown. Its dispel type is client id 1.

Fire Ward 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 162.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 74.

What it does

Fire Ward is a Fire spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster), a 30 sec cooldown and effects that last 30 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.
