The caster devours the victim, inflicting 100000 Physical damage every 1 seconds and energizing themselves.

This effect persists until the caster reaches 100 energy or has taken 25% of its health in damage.

How it works

Devour is built from 4 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 100000 per tick. It ticks every 1 sec, 20 times over the full 20 sec (2e+06 base in total).
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 4.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 23. It ticks every 1 sec, 20 times over the full 20 sec. It triggers Energize.
  4. Effect 4 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 4.

What it does

Devour is a spell with an instant cast, an unlimited range and effects that last 20 sec. When cast it applies an aura every 1 sec and applies an aura. It also casts Energize.

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.
