Tooltip

Summons a Dreadsteed, which serves as a mount. This mount can run across water until damage is taken.

How it works

Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 78.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 226. It ticks every 0.5 sec.

What it does

Dreadsteed is a spell with a 1.5 sec cast, no range (it targets the caster) and an effect that lasts until cancelled. When cast it applies an aura and applies an aura every 0.5 sec. The client files the whole spell under the mounted 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.
