Flashback

How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is effect type 142, which the datamine does not name. It triggers Flashback.
  2. Effect 2 is Teleport (effect type 252).

What it does

Flashback is a spell with an instant cast and no range (it targets the caster). When cast it has a Teleport effect. It also casts Flashback (record #360819).

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.

Multiple client spell records exist

The game client stores 5 separate Spell records named "Flashback". This page is record #369285. They are not merged: each record can belong to a different difficulty, caster, rank or tuning, so each keeps its own page.
