How it works
Each cast of Banish costs 30 Arcane Charges. Casting it triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown. Its dispel type is client id 1. Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.
Banish is built from 3 client effects, applied in this order:
- Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 12.
- Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 39.
- Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 118. Its base value is -100.
What it does
Banish is a Shadow spell with a 1.5 sec cast, a range of 30 yards and effects that last 30 sec. When cast it applies an aura. The client files the whole spell under the banished mechanic.
Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the MoP Classic client, build 5.5.4.70631. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
