Shapeshift into Cat Form, increasing auto-attack damage by 30%, movement speed by 30%, granting protection from Polymorph effects, and reducing falling damage.

The act of shapeshifting frees you from movement impairing effects.

How it works

Casting it triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown. Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

Cat Form is built from 4 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 77.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 344. Its base value is 30.
  4. Effect 4 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 108. Its base value is -100.

What it does

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