Tricks of the Trade

Tooltip

The current party or raid member becomes the target of your Tricks of the Trade. The threat caused by your next damaging attack and all actions taken for 6 sec afterwards will be transferred to the target. In addition, all damage caused by the rogue is increased by 15% during this time.

How it works

Each cast of Tricks of the Trade costs 15 Energy. Casting it triggers a 1 sec global cooldown. Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

Tricks of the Trade is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is effect type 130, which the datamine does not name. Its base value is 100.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 4.

What it does

Tricks of the Trade is a spell with an instant cast, a range of 40 yards, a 30 sec cooldown and effects that last 30 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.
