Vanish

Tooltip

Allows the rogue to vanish from sight, entering an improved stealth mode. Also breaks movement impairing effects. More effective than Vanish (Rank 1).

How it works

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

Vanish is built from 3 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Trigger Spell (effect type 64).
  2. Effect 2 is Trigger Spell (effect type 64). It triggers spell id 18461.
  3. Effect 3 is Sanctuary (effect type 79).

What it does

Vanish is a spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and a 5 min cooldown. When cast it has a Sanctuary effect.

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.
