Spell Lock

Tooltip

Silences the enemy for 3 sec. If used on a casting target, it will counter the enemy's spellcast, preventing any spell from that school of magic from being cast for 6 sec.

How it works

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

Spell Lock is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Interrupt Cast (effect type 68). It applies the interrupted mechanic.
  2. Effect 2 is Dummy (effect type 3).

What it does

Spell Lock is a Shadow spell with an instant cast, a range of 40 yards, a 24 sec cooldown and effects that last 6 sec. When cast it interrupts spellcasting with the interrupted mechanic.

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.
