Turns the Shaman into a Ghost Wolf, increasing movement speed by 20% and attack speed by 50%.

How it works

It does not trigger the global cooldown, so it can be used between other casts. Its dispel type is client id 1.

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 56.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 31. Its base value is 20.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 138. Its base value is 50.

What it does

Ghost Wolf is a Nature spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster), a 30 sec cooldown and effects that last 15 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.
