Mind Flay

Tooltip

Inflicts Shadow damage every 1 sec for 6 sec.

How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 100 per tick. It ticks every 1 sec, 6 times over the full 6 sec (600 base in total).

What it does

Mind Flay is a Shadow spell with a 2.5 sec cast, a range of 35 yards, a 3 sec cooldown and effects that last 6 sec. When cast it 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.
