Teleports you forward or until reaching an obstacle, and frees you from all stuns and bonds.

How it works

Casting it triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown.

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

  1. Effect 1 is Leap (effect type 29).
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 77. It scales with 1 times spell power.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 77. It scales with 1 times spell power.

What it does

Blink is an Arcane spell with an instant cast, a range of 20 yards, a 15 sec cooldown and effects that last 0.3 sec. When cast it leaps the caster and 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.
