The Spells in This Build

What each spell listed above is and who uses it, read from the current game data: school, cast time and duration, the skill line or Adventure Guide boss it belongs to, and its tooltip with amounts left out (they scale with level and gear).

  • Atonement Changed in this build: tooltip text. Physical, instant. Current tooltip: “Power Word: Shield, Flash Heal, Shadow Mend, Plea, and Power Word: Radiance apply Atonement to your target. Your spell damage heals all targets affected by Atonement for 46% of the damage done. Healing is reduced when healing more than 5 targets.”

How this page is built

Each World of Warcraft game build is compared field-by-field against the previous build of the same version line. Added, changed and removed records are read directly from the client database, not from patch notes. Prices shown are the game's own vendor values, formatted with live coin denominations; where a value is unknown it is left blank rather than guessed. Counts are the true totals for the build; where a heading reads "40 of 11,892" the rows under it are that many examples, and a record the client has not named yet is left out rather than printed as an id. A removed record is shown by name without a link, because the entry it pointed at is gone from the client. Every build lands in the patch news feed the day it is ingested.
