Defy Fate

Tooltip

Fatal attacks are diverted into a nearby timeline, preventing the damage, and your death, in this one.

The release of temporal energy restores to you, and (750% of Spell Power) to nearby allies, over 9 sec. Healing starts high and declines over the duration.

May only occur once every 6 min.

How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 8. It scales with 2.5 times spell power. Its area radius is 40 yards. It ticks every 3 sec, 3 times over the full 9 sec.
  2. Effect 2 is Dummy (effect type 3). Its base value is 200.

What it does

Defy Fate is an Arcane spell with an instant cast, a range of 40 yards and effects that last 9 sec. When cast it applies an aura in a 40 yard radius every 3 sec.

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.
