Blind

Tooltip

Blinds the target, causing it to wander disoriented for 1 min. Damage may interrupt the effect. Limit 1.

How it works

Casting it triggers a 1 sec global cooldown. Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met. The aura is spent after 1 procs.

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 33. Its base value is -60.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 5.

What it does

Blind is a spell with an instant cast, a range of 15 yards, a 2 min cooldown and effects that last 1 min. When cast it applies an aura. The client files the whole spell under the disoriented 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.
