Defile

How it works

Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 23. Its base value is 1 per tick. It scales with 1 times spell power. It ticks every 1 sec, 10 times over the full 10 sec (10 base in total).
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 12. It scales with 1 times spell power.

What it does

Defile is a Shadow spell with an instant cast, an unlimited range and effects that last 10 sec. When cast it applies an aura every 1 sec and applies an aura.

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the Classic Era client, build 1.15.9.70576. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
