How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 6 per tick. It ticks every 1 sec, 8 times over the full 8 sec (48 base in total).
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 33. Its base value is 30.

What it does

Bloodletting is a spell with an instant cast, a range of 5 yards and effects that last 8 sec. When cast it applies an aura every 1 sec and applies an aura. The client files the whole spell under the snared mechanic.

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the MoP Classic client, build 5.5.4.70268. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
