Sneak

Tooltip

Puts the caster in stealth mode, but slows its movement by 50%. Lasts until cancelled.

How it works

Its dispel type is client id 5. Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 16. Its base value is 1.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 33. Its base value is -50.

What it does

Sneak is a spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) 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.
