How it works

Casting it triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown.

Mind Flay is built from 4 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 1.8 per tick. It ticks every 0.8 sec, 4 times over the full 3 sec (7.2 base in total).
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 33. Its base value is -50. It applies the snared mechanic.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 24. Its base value is 4 per tick. It ticks every 0.8 sec, 4 times over the full 3 sec (16 base in total).
  4. Effect 4 is Dummy (effect type 3). Its base value is 4.

What it does

Mind Flay is a Shadow spell with an instant cast, a range of 40 yards and effects that last 3 sec. When cast it applies an aura every 0.8 sec and applies an aura with the snared 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.
