How it works

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.

Mortal Coil is built from 4 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 407. It scales with 1 times spell power. It applies the horrified mechanic.
  2. Effect 2 is Dummy (effect type 3).
  3. Effect 3 is Trigger Missile (effect type 32). Its base value is 15. It triggers Mortal Coil.
  4. Effect 4 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 191. Its base value is 7.

What it does

Mortal Coil is a Shadow spell with an instant cast, a range of 30 yards, a 45 sec cooldown and effects that last 3 sec. When cast it applies an aura with the horrified mechanic, launches a missile and applies an aura. It also casts Mortal Coil (record #108396).

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.
