How it works

Death Grip is built from 3 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is effect type 77, which the datamine does not name. Its base value is 101987. Its area radius is 150 yards. It triggers Death Grip.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 12. Its area radius is 150 yards.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 144. Its base value is 1. Its area radius is 150 yards.

What it does

Death Grip is a Shadow spell with an instant cast, a range of 300 yards and effects that last 1 sec. When cast it applies an aura in a 150 yard radius. It also casts Death Grip (record #101987).

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the MoP Classic client, build 5.5.4.70631. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
