Intimidation

Tooltip

Command your pet to Stun the target for 3 sec on its next successful attack, which also gains 100% increased critical strike chance. Generates high threat.

How it works

Casting it triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown. Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met. The aura is spent after 1 procs.

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 42. It triggers Intimidation.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 290. Its base value is 100.

What it does

Intimidation is a Nature spell with an instant cast, a range of 100 yards, a 1 min cooldown and effects that last 15 sec. When cast it applies an aura. It also casts Intimidation (record #24394).

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.
