Shadow
PriestTooltip
Silences the target, preventing them from casting spells for 5 sec. Non-player victim spellcasting is also interrupted for 3 sec.
How it works
Each cast of Silence costs 225 Mana. It does not trigger the global cooldown, so it can be used between other casts. Its dispel type is client id 1. Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.
- Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 27. Its base value is 1.
What it does
Silence is a Shadow spell with an instant cast, a range of 30 yards, a 45 sec cooldown and effects that last 5 sec. When cast it applies an aura. The client files the whole spell under the silenced 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.
