How it works

Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 33. Its base value is -50. Its area radius is 8 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 1170. Its area radius is 8 yards.

What it does

Desecration is a Shadow spell with an instant cast, a range of 15 yards and effects that last 2 sec. When cast it applies an aura in an 8 yard radius and deals Shadow damage (base value 1170) in an 8 yard radius. 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 5.5.4.70631. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
