How it works

It does not trigger the global cooldown, so it can be used between other casts.

Lay on Hands is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Heal to Max Health (effect type 67).
  2. Effect 2 is effect type 136, which the datamine does not name. Its base value is 100.

What it does

Lay on Hands is a Holy spell with an instant cast, a range of 40 yards and a 10 min cooldown. When cast it heals to full health.

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.
