Mirror Image

Tooltip

Creates 3 copies of you nearby for 15 sec, which cast spells and attack your enemies. While active, you generate significantly reduced threat.

Taking direct damage will cause one of your images to dissipate.

How it works

Casting it triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown. Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met. It can proc at most once every 2 sec.

Mirror Image is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 103. Its base value is -90000000.
  2. Effect 2 is Dummy (effect type 3). Its base value is 3.

What it does

Mirror Image is an Arcane spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster), a 2 min cooldown and effects that last 15 sec. When cast it applies an aura.

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.
