Waking Nightmare

Tooltip

The Shade of Xavius traps a player in a waking nightmare for 20 sec. While under this effect, the target is silenced and pacified unless they are standing near another player.

How it works

Waking Nightmare is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 395.
  2. Effect 2 is effect type 164, which the datamine does not name. It triggers Growing Paranoia.

What it does

Waking Nightmare is a Shadow spell with an instant cast, a range of 100 yards and effects that last 20 sec. When cast it applies an aura. The client files the whole spell under the silenced mechanic. It also casts Growing Paranoia.

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.
