Increases the time between nearby enemies' attacks by 54% and slows their movement by 60% for 20 sec.

How it works

Each cast of Slow costs 140 Mana. Its dispel type is client id 1. Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 138. Its base value is -54. Its area radius is 20 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 33. Its base value is -60. Its area radius is 20 yards.

What it does

Slow is an Arcane spell with an instant cast, a range of 30 yards and effects that last 20 sec. When cast it applies an aura in a 20 yard radius. The client files the whole spell under the ensnared mechanic.

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.
