Counterspell

This is one of several client rows named Counterspell, not the player ability. Looking for the spell you cast? See Counterspell →

Counterspell is unchanged in WoW Forever: its tooltip matches Classic Era, and the client only changed internal columns the tooltip does not show (base level 1 to 0). 30 yd range, instant cast.
