How it works
Each cast of Mind Flay costs 45 Mana. Casting it triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown.
Mind Flay is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:
- Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 25 per tick. It scales with 0.19 times spell power. It ticks every 1 sec, 3 times over the full 3 sec (75 base in total).
- Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 33. Its base value is -50. It applies the ensnared mechanic.
What it does
Mind Flay is a Shadow spell with an instant cast, a range of 20 yards and effects that last 3 sec. When cast it applies an aura every 1 sec and applies an aura with the ensnared mechanic.
