How it works

Casting it triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown.

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

  1. Effect 1 is effect type 72, which the datamine does not name. Its area radius is 100 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 4.

What it does

Far Sight is a Nature spell with a 2 sec cast, an unlimited range and effects that last 1 min. 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.
