Tooltip

Transforms all enemies into sheep, wandering around incapacitated for 15 sec. While affected, the victims cannot take actions but will regenerate health very quickly. Damage will cancel the effect.

Only works on Beasts, Humanoids and Critters.

How it works

Casting it triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown. Its dispel type is client id 1. Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 5. Its area radius is 10 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 56. Its area radius is 10 yards.

What it does

Mass Polymorph is an Arcane spell with a 1.7 sec cast, no range (it targets the caster), a 1 min cooldown and effects that last 15 sec. When cast it applies an aura in a 10 yard radius. The client files the whole spell under the polymorphed 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.
