How it works

Tactical Retreat is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Jump to Destination (effect type 42). Its area radius is 20 yards. It triggers Powerful Spin.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 61. Its base value is 50.

What it does

Tactical Retreat is a spell with an instant cast, a range of 15 yards and effects that last 7 sec. When cast it makes the caster jump to a location up to 20 yards and applies an aura. It also casts Powerful Spin.

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.
