How it works

Its dispel type is client id 1.

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 7. It applies the fleeing mechanic.
  2. Effect 2 is Dummy (effect type 3).
  3. Effect 3 is Dummy (effect type 3).

What it does

Fear is a Shadow spell with an instant cast, a range of 20 yards and effects that last 4 sec. When cast it applies an aura with the fleeing mechanic. The client files the whole spell under the fleeing 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.
