Summons an immobile Sentry Totem with 100 health at your feet for 5 min that allows vision of nearby area and warns of enemies that attack it. Right-Click on buff to switch back and forth between totem sight and Shaman sight.

How it works

Each cast of Sentry Totem costs 65 Mana. Casting it triggers a 1 sec global cooldown.

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

  1. Effect 1 is Summon (effect type 28). Its base value is 100. Its area radius is 100 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 4.

What it does

Sentry Totem is a Nature spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 5 min. When cast it summons a creature in a 100 yard radius and 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.
