Bovan

Spirit Walker

The white Tauren are held in near reverence by their people as they were believed to be the ill omen of a coming age. As thus, they often become reclusive priests who wander the land in search of kindred spirits. Bovan Windtotem was one of those - the Tauren Spirit Walkers.

After aiding Rexxar in saving Chieftain Cairne Bloodhoof's son Baine from the centaur, Bovan and the remaining Spirit Walkers decided to join the fight to aid the Horde, no matter where the fight took them.

Primary Abilities

1
Spirit Link (Q)
Type: Targeted (allied)
Cooldown: None
Duration: Until cancelled

The targeted ally is spiritually linked to other linked allies. If no allies are currently linked, a link is formed after the second ally is made. If already linked, the link is removed. The link is broken, if only one ally is in the link for more than 5 seconds or if the ally is out of range of another linked ally. A maximum of 3 allies can be linked at a time.

While Spirit Linked, Health is evenly distributed among linked allies, so that their Health percentage is equal. This redistribution is done every second. The damage taken is is calculated by equally distributing it between linked spirits, Armor reductions are made, and the damage is then redistributed. Damage taken this way cannot be fatal, and instead reduces Health to 1 and breaks the link for the target.

Passive: Gain 10 Spell Armor bonus to Ancestral Spirit for every ally linked to you.
