Tooltip

Reduces all damage your pet takes by 50% and increases the time between your pet's attacks by 60%, but deals more damage with each attack. Lasts 12 sec.

How it works

Each cast of Shell Shield costs 10 Focus. Casting it triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown.

Shell Shield is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 87. Its base value is -50. It scales with 1 times spell power.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 9. Its base value is -60. It scales with 1 times spell power.

What it does

Shell Shield is a spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster), a 3 min cooldown and effects that last 12 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.
