Sands of Time

Tooltip

Absorbs up to damage from an attack that would kill you. When this effect occurs, you instantly heal and then take all of the prevented damage over 10 sec. May only occur once every 6 min.

How it works

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

Sands of Time is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 4.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 69.

What it does

Sands of Time is a spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and a 1 sec cooldown. When cast it applies an aura.

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the current retail game build. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
