Mercurial Shield

How it works

Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 22. Its base value is 10. It scales with 1 times spell power.

What it does

Mercurial Shield is a spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 1 min. When cast it applies an aura. It stacks up to 10 times.

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.
