How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 184. Its base value is -50.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 185. Its base value is -50.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 186. Its base value is -50.

What it does

Swiftness is a spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 5 sec. When cast it applies an aura.

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.

The game client stores 16 separate Spell records named "Swiftness". This page is record #118442. They are not merged: each record can belong to a different difficulty, caster, rank or tuning, so each keeps its own page. The 12 records closest by id are compared here.
