Tooltip

Banishes an enemy, preventing all action but making it invulnerable for up to 35 sec. Only one target can be banished at a time.

How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 26. Its area radius is 50000 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 25. Its area radius is 50000 yards.
  3. Effect 3 is effect type 77, which the datamine does not name. Its area radius is 50000 yards.

What it does

Banish is a Shadow spell with an instant cast, an unlimited range and effects that last 35 sec. When cast it applies an aura in a 50000 yard radius.

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.
