How it works

Heightened Senses is built from 3 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 17. Its base value is 15.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 185. Its base value is -6.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 186. Its base value is -6.

What it does

Heightened Senses is a spell with an instant cast and no range (it targets the caster). 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.
