How it works

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

Bear Form is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 36.
  2. Effect 2 is Dummy (effect type 3).

What it does

Bear Form is a Nature spell with an instant cast, a range of 40 yards, a 30 sec cooldown and effects that last 5 min. 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.
