Tooltip

The caster vanishes and creates illusionary copies of themself nearby. The illusionary copies fight alongside the caster until they perish or fade.

How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Dummy (effect type 3).

What it does

Mirror Image is a spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and a 3 sec cooldown.

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.
