Tooltip

Puts an enemy to sleep for up to 8 sec. Any damage caused will awaken the target.

How it works

It does not trigger the global cooldown, so it can be used between other casts. Its dispel type is client id 1.

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 12.

What it does

Sleep is a Shadow spell with a 1.5 sec cast, a range of 40 yards, a 6 sec cooldown and effects that last 8 sec. When cast it applies an aura. The client files the whole spell under the asleep 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.
