The dark realm coalesces around you, inflicting 350000 Shadow damage every second.

How it works

Corruption 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 350000 per tick. It ticks every 1 sec, 5 times over the full 5 sec (1.75e+06 base in total).
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 24. Its base value is 5 per tick. It ticks every 1 sec, 5 times over the full 5 sec (25 base in total).

What it does

Corruption is a Shadow spell with an instant cast, a range of 300 yards and effects that last 5 sec. When cast it applies an aura every 1 sec.

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the MoP Classic client, build 5.5.4.70531. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
