Activate to slip into the shadows, reducing the chance for enemies to detect your presence. Lasts until cancelled or upon moving. Using this ability in combat discourages enemies from attacking you, but increases the cooldown to 2 min.
How it works
It does not trigger the global cooldown, so it can be used between other casts. Its dispel type is client id 5.
Shadowmeld is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:
- Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 16. It scales with 1 times spell power.
- Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 103. Its base value is -999999. It scales with 1 times spell power.
What it does
Shadowmeld is a spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster), a 10 sec cooldown and an effect that lasts until cancelled. 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.
