Tooltip

Instantly removes all existing harmful spell effects and increases your chance to resist all spells by 90% for 5 sec. Does not remove effects that prevent you from using Cloak of Shadows.

How it works

Casting it triggers a 1 sec global cooldown. Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

Cloak of Shadows is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 186. Its base value is -90.
  2. Effect 2 is Trigger Spell (effect type 64). It triggers spell id 35729.

What it does

Cloak of Shadows is a spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster), a 1 min cooldown and effects that last 5 sec. When cast it applies an aura.

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the Burning Crusade client, build 2.5.6.70006. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
