Shield Block

How it works

Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met. The aura is spent after 1 procs.

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 51. Its base value is 30.

What it does

Shield Block is a spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 5 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.
