Evasion

Tooltip

Increases your dodge chance by 100% for 10 sec. Dodging an attack while Evasion is active will trigger Mastery: Main Gauche.

How it works

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

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 49. Its base value is 200.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 87.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 87.

What it does

Evasion is a spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster), a 2 min cooldown and effects that last 10 sec. When cast it applies an aura.

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.
