Fade out, removing all your threat and reducing enemies' detection range against you for 10 sec.

How it works

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

Fade is built from 4 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 103. Its base value is -90000000.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 152. Its base value is -10.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 305.
  4. Effect 4 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 87. Its base value is -10.

What it does

Fade is a Shadow spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster), a 30 sec 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.
