How it works

Each cast of Summon Gargoyle costs 60 Runic Power. Casting it triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown.

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

  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 226. Its base value is 30 per tick. It ticks every 1 sec, 40 times over the full 40 sec (1200 base in total).
  3. Effect 3 is Trigger Spell (effect type 64). Its base value is 3. It triggers Summon Gargoyle.

What it does

Summon Gargoyle is a Shadow spell with an instant cast, a range of 30 yards, a 3 min cooldown and effects that last 40 sec. When cast it summons a creature and applies an aura every 1 sec. It also casts Summon Gargoyle (record #61777).

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.
