How it works
It does not trigger the global cooldown, so it can be used between other casts.
Growl is built from 3 client effects, applied in this order:
- Effect 1 is Threat (effect type 63).
- Effect 2 is effect type 114, which the datamine does not name. It scales with 0.25 times spell power. It applies the healing mechanic.
- Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 11. Its base value is 800. It applies the healing mechanic.
What it does
Growl is a spell with an instant cast, a range of 30 yards, an 8 sec cooldown and effects that last 6 sec. When cast it changes threat and applies an aura with the healing mechanic. The client files the whole spell under the healing 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.
