Causes nearby enemies to flee in fear for 3 sec and reduces their movement speed.

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.

Terrifying Screech is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 7. Its area radius is 40 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 33. Its base value is -50. Its area radius is 40 yards.

What it does

Terrifying Screech is a Shadow spell with a 2.5 sec cast, no range (it targets the caster), a 15 sec cooldown and effects that last 3 sec. When cast it applies an aura in a 40 yard radius. The client files the whole spell under the fleeing 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.
