Shapeshift into Cat Form, increasing Attack Power by 12 plus Agility. Also protects the caster from Polymorph effects and allows the use of various cat abilities.
The act of shapeshifting frees the caster of Polymorph and Movement Impairing effects.
How it works
Casting it triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown. Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.
Cat Form is built from 4 client effects, applied in this order:
- Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 36.
- Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 77.
- Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 23. It scales with 1 times spell power. It ticks every 5 sec.
- Effect 4 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 4.
What it does
Cat Form is a spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and an effect that lasts until cancelled. When cast it applies an aura and applies an aura every 5 sec.
Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the WoW Forever beta client, build 1.60.1.70532. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
