Vindication

How it works

Its dispel type is client id 1.

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 137. Its base value is -5. It scales with 1 times spell power.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 137. Its base value is -5. It scales with 1 times spell power.

What it does

Vindication is a Holy spell with an instant cast, a range of 100 yards and effects that last 10 sec. 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.

Multiple client spell records exist

The game client stores 8 separate Spell records named "Vindication". This page is record #67. They are not merged: each record can belong to a different difficulty, caster, rank or tuning, so each keeps its own page.
