Tooltip

Heals a friendly target for an amount equal to the Paladin's maximum health. Drains all of the Paladin's remaining Mana when used, but does not interrupt Mana regeneration.

How it works

Casting it triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown.

Lay on Hands is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Heal to Max Health (effect type 67).
  2. Effect 2 is Energize (effect type 30).

What it does

Lay on Hands is a Holy spell with an instant cast, a range of 40 yards and a 20 min cooldown. When cast it heals to full health and restores a resource.

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.
