Binding Shot

Tooltip

You fire a magical projectile, tethering the enemy and any other enemies within 5 yards of the landing arrow.

If targets move 5 yards from the arrow they are stunned for 5 sec (3 sec PvP) and will be immune to the effects of Binding Shot for 10 sec.

How it works

It does not trigger the global cooldown, so it can be used between other casts.

Binding Shot is built from 3 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Dummy (effect type 3). Its area radius is 5 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 226. It ticks every 0.5 sec, 22 times over the full 11 sec.
  3. Effect 3 is Persistent Area Aura (effect type 27). It applies aura type 4.

What it does

Binding Shot is a Nature spell with an instant cast, a range of 30 yards, a 45 sec cooldown and effects that last 11 sec. When cast it applies an aura every 0.5 sec and leaves a persistent area effect on the ground.

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.
