Targeting and features
Shift: Frost Shock on enemy mouseover, then enemy target → Otherwise: Flame Shock on enemy mouseover, then enemy target
ModifierMouseover
Requirements
- Learned Flame Shock; the source records its first rank at level 10. Each higher rank must be learned separately.
- Learned Frost Shock; the source records its first rank at level 20. Each higher rank must be learned separately.
- Requirements apply to the branch you choose; other unlearned modifier branches do not prevent use of an available action.
Known limitations
- Research-supported design for beta 1.60.1.70009; no recorded in-client macro tests. English spell names require localization on other clients.
- The first matching target branch wins; an out-of-range, line-of-sight, immune or otherwise invalid recipient does not fall through to another target.
- Modifier keybindings can intercept the combination. Spell selection is manual; an unlearned or unavailable modifier action does not fall back to the default spell.
- Shock availability and cooldowns are not tested. This does not inspect Flame Shock duration, choose a slow automatically, or cast both spells. Damage can break crowd control.
Notes
- Spell IDs identify the sourced first-rank reference; unranked names request the learned rank selected by the client. A spellbook tab is not a specialization lock.
- Talent and level records are provisional beta extraction, not proof of spell acquisition.
