How it works

It does not trigger the global cooldown, so it can be used between other casts. Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

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

  1. Effect 1 is Dummy (effect type 3). Its base value is 1.3039.
  2. Effect 2 is Trigger Missile (effect type 32). It triggers Containment Trap.

What it does

Containment Trap is a spell with an instant cast, a range of 30 yards and a 15 sec cooldown. When cast it launches a missile. It also casts Containment Trap (record #359446).

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.
