Engineering

How it works

Engineering is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is effect type 95, which the datamine does not name. Its base value is 1.
  2. Effect 2 is effect type 118, which the datamine does not name. Its base value is 1.

What it does

Engineering is a spell with a 2 sec cast and a range of 5 yards.

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.

Every Engineering spell

Multiple client spell records exist

The game client stores 14 separate Spell records named "Engineering". This page is record #1235244. They are not merged: each record can belong to a different difficulty, caster, rank or tuning, so each keeps its own page. The 12 records closest by id are compared here.
