How it works

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

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 36.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 101. Its base value is 360.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 61. Its base value is 15.

What it does

Bear Form is a Nature spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster), 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.
