How it works

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

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 290. Its base value is 3.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 232. Its base value is -10.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 232. Its base value is -10.
  4. Effect 4 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 108. Its base value is 3.

What it does

Battle Stance is a spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster), a 3 sec cooldown and an effect that lasts until cancelled. 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.
