Tooltip

Turns you invisible over 3 sec, reducing threat each second. While invisible, you are untargetable by enemies. Lasts 20 sec. Taking any action cancels the effect.

Increases your movement speed by 20% for 6 sec.

How it works

Casting it triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown. Its dispel type is client id 6.

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 4.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 23. It ticks every 1 sec, 3 times over the full 3 sec. It triggers spell id 35009.
  3. Effect 3 is effect type 0, which the datamine does not name. Its base value is 100.

What it does

Invisibility is an Arcane spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster), a 5 min cooldown and effects that last 3 sec. When cast it applies an aura and applies an aura every 1 sec.

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.
