Tooltip

Let loose a deafening shriek, interrupting spells being cast by all enemies within.

How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Interrupt Cast (effect type 68). Its area radius is 8 yards.

What it does

Deafening Screech is a spell with a 2.5 sec cast, a range of 8 yards, a 20 sec cooldown and effects that last 3 sec. When cast it interrupts spellcasting in an 8 yard radius. The client files the whole spell under the interrupted 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.
