Mouseover
Requirements
- Sap learned; first recorded spellbook level 10.
- Requires Stealth
- Stealthed, within melee range of a Humanoid that is not in combat.
Known limitations
- Research only: not tested in the Forever client. Beta spell names, parser behaviour and requirements may change.
- English spell names; check your spellbook and actual learned rank. Source IDs identify reference ranks, not a forced rank-1 cast.
- Range, line of sight, resources, cooldowns and the global cooldown still apply. A macro does not detect readiness or choose your next combat action.
- Damage breaks Sap. The key stops melee attacks even when Sap cannot be cast; it does not remove existing damage-over-time effects.
- Using Sap on a PvP-flagged target can flag you for PvP, as corrected in the September 24 beta notes.
- The first matching unit wins. An out-of-range, obstructed, immune or otherwise unusable mouseover does not fall through to your target.
Notes
- Researched 27 September 2026 against source beta build 1.60.1.70009. Spec lists are recommendations; actual learned spells and selected talents determine eligibility.
