Stun

How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 12.
  2. Effect 2 is Interrupt Cast (effect type 68).

What it does

Stun is a spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 3 sec. When cast it applies an aura and interrupts spellcasting. The client files the whole spell under the stunned mechanic.

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.

Multiple client spell records exist

The game client stores 56 separate Spell records named "Stun". This page is record #27880. They are not merged: each record can belong to a different difficulty, caster, rank or tuning, so each keeps its own page. The 12 records closest by id are compared here.
