Blade Dance

How it works

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

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 4.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 25.
  3. Effect 3 is effect type 140, which the datamine does not name. It triggers Blade Dance.

What it does

Blade Dance is a spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster), a 22 sec cooldown and effects that last 13 sec. When cast it applies an aura. It also casts Blade Dance (record #105738).

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.
