Banish

Tooltip

Banishes an enemy, preventing any action for 30 sec. Reduces damage received by 100% and healing received by 100%.

How it works

Spells that share its cooldown category wait 3 sec after it is cast. Casting it triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown. Its dispel type is client id 1.

Banish is built from 4 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 12.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 87. Its base value is -100.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 118. Its base value is -100.
  4. Effect 4 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 40.

What it does

Banish is a Shadow spell with a 2 sec cast, a range of 200 yards, a 6 sec cooldown and effects that last 30 sec. When cast it applies an aura. The client files the whole spell under the banished mechanic.

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.
