Turn Undead

Tooltip

The targeted undead enemy will be compelled to flee for up to 20 sec. Damage caused may interrupt the effect. Only one target can be turned at a time.

How it works

Each cast of Turn Undead costs 75 Mana. Casting it triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown. Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 7.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 31. Its base value is 25.

What it does

Turn Undead is a Nature spell with a 1.5 sec cast, a range of 20 yards, a 30 sec cooldown and effects that last 20 sec. When cast it applies an aura. The client files the whole spell under the turned 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.
