Tooltip

Teleports the caster 15 yd. forward unless something is in the way. Also frees the caster from any bonds.

How it works

Casting it triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown. Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

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

  1. Effect 1 is Leap (effect type 29). Its area radius is 15 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 77.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 77.

What it does

Blink is a Nature spell with a 1.5 sec cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 1 sec. When cast it leaps the caster up to 15 yards and applies an aura.

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the Wrath of the Lich King client, build 3.80.2.69874. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
