How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 12.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 260.
  3. Effect 3 is effect type 164, which the datamine does not name. It triggers Netted.

What it does

Blackout is a spell with an instant cast, an unlimited range and effects that last 3 sec. When cast it applies an aura. It also casts Netted.

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.

Multiple client spell records exist

The game client stores 15 separate Spell records named "Blackout". This page is record #134112. They are not merged: each record can belong to a different difficulty, caster, rank or tuning, so each keeps its own page. The 12 records closest by id are compared here.
