Spell Lock

Tooltip

Counters an enemy's spell, silencing the enemy and preventing the enemy from casting that spell again for 4 sec. Generates a high amount of threat.

How it works

Its dispel type is client id 1.

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 Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 27.

What it does

Spell Lock is an Arcane spell with an instant cast, a range of 30 yards and effects that last 4 sec. When cast it interrupts spellcasting with the interrupted mechanic and applies an aura. The client files the whole spell under the silenced 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.
