Confounding Flash

Tooltip

Confuses enemies for 3 sec. Any damage taken will break the effect.

How it works

It does not trigger the global cooldown, so it can be used between other casts. Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 5. Its area radius is 8 yards.

What it does

Confounding Flash is a Holy spell with a 0.5 sec cast, no range (it targets the caster), a 2 min cooldown and effects that last 3 sec. When cast it applies an aura in an 8 yard radius. The client files the whole spell under the disoriented mechanic.

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.
