Modifiers [?]

modifier_forest_troll_high_priest_heal_autocast

Undispellable

Notes:

• Once cast, the troll is continuously ordered to re-cast Heal on the same target.
  • This means as long as the troll is not given any other order, it will cast heal on the same target again once off cooldown.
  • This stops once the target is at full health, the target dies, or until the troll is given a new order.
  • Other status effects (on the troll or on the target) do not stop this. The troll continues casting once the conditions allow it again.
  • When having auto-attacking turned on, the healing takes priority and cancels automatically started attacks.

• Heal Amplification Aura effectively increases the heal value to 1300.

• As a neutral unit:
  • The troll never casts this spell.

• As a player controlled unit:
  • With Autocast, the troll automatically heals the closest nearby hurt allied unit.
  • Follows the same rules as a manual cast, sticking to the target until a new order is given.
  • Autocast occurs regardless of the unit's current orders, canceling them.

• Has a cast backswing of 0.6 when cast by Doom (acquired through Devour).

• Has a cast backswing of 1.07 when cast by Rubick (acquired through casting Spell Steal on Doom).

• Has a cast backswing of 0.3 when cast by Clinkz (acquired through talent-upgraded Death Pact).
