Shadow
PriestTooltip
Controls a humanoid mind up to level 32, but increases the time between its attacks by 25%. Lasts up to 1 min.
How it works
Casting it triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown. Its dispel type is client id 1. Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.
Mind Control is built from 3 client effects, applied in this order:
- Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 2. Its base value is 32. Its area radius is 100 yards.
- Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 4.
- Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 138. Its base value is -25. It applies the slowed mechanic.
What it does
Mind Control is a Shadow spell with a 3 sec cast, a range of 20 yards and effects that last 1 min. When cast it applies an aura in a 100 yard radius, applies an aura and applies an aura with the slowed mechanic. The client files the whole spell under the charmed mechanic.
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.
