How it works

Spells that share its cooldown category wait 20 sec after it is cast. It does not trigger the global cooldown, so it can be used between other casts.

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2).
  2. Effect 2 is Dummy (effect type 3). It triggers Desperate Invocation.
  3. Effect 3 is Trigger Spell (effect type 64). It triggers Desperate Invocation.

What it does

Desperate Invocation is a Nature spell with an instant cast, a range of 45 yards and a 4 min cooldown. When cast it deals Nature damage. It also casts Desperate Invocation (record #377465) and Desperate Invocation (record #382417).

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.
