Increases the amount of damage absorbed by your shield by 30%, and gives your blocks a 100% chance to restore 4% of your maximum Mana. May only occur once.
How it works
Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met. It can proc at most once every 3 sec.
Shield Specialization is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:
- Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 272. Its base value is 30.
- Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 42. Its base value is 100. It triggers Shield Specialization.
What it does
Shield Specialization is a spell with an instant cast and no range (it targets the caster). When cast it applies an aura. It also casts Shield Specialization (record #1310925).
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.
