Increases your defense rating, but decreases your melee and ranged attack power. Effect lasts for 15 sec.

How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 99.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 189.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 124.

What it does

Displacement is a spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 15 sec. When cast it 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.
