How it works

Defiled Ground is built from 3 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Dummy (effect type 3). Its area radius is 4.5 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is School Damage (effect type 2). It applies the frozen mechanic. Its area radius is 4.5 yards.
  3. Effect 3 is Trigger Spell (effect type 64). It triggers Defiled Ground.

What it does

Defiled Ground is a Shadow spell with an instant cast and no range (it targets the caster). When cast it deals Shadow damage with the frozen mechanic in a 4.5 yard radius. It also casts Defiled Ground (record #118091).

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.
