Tooltip

Knocks target silly for 1 sec. Orcs and Ogres are stunned for 2 times as long.

How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 12. Its base value is 1.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 4. Its base value is 2.

What it does

Stun is a spell with an instant cast, a range of 100 yards and effects that last 1 sec. When cast it applies an aura. The client files the whole spell under the stunned mechanic.

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.

Multiple client spell records exist

The game client stores 56 separate Spell records named "Stun". This page is record #17308. They are not merged: each record can belong to a different difficulty, caster, rank or tuning, so each keeps its own page. The 12 records closest by id are compared here.
