Siphon Essence

How it works

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

Siphon Essence is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Create Item (effect type 24). Its base value is 1.
  2. Effect 2 is Dummy (effect type 3). Its area radius is 45 yards.

What it does

Siphon Essence is a spell with an instant cast, a range of 45 yards and a 2 sec cooldown. When cast it creates an item.

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.
