Faerie Fire

Tooltip

Reduces an enemy's armor by 24 for 1 min. While affected, the target cannot use stealth or invisibility.

How it works

It does not trigger the global cooldown, so it can be used between other casts. Its dispel type is client id 1.

Faerie Fire is built from 3 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 674. Its base value is -24.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 41.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 41.

What it does

Faerie Fire is a Nature spell with a 2 sec cast, a range of 30 yards, a 30 sec cooldown and effects that last 1 min. When cast it applies an aura.

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.
