Tooltip

The pterrordax grabs a nearby player and lifts them up to great heights before letting them go. The target takes 50000 Physical damage every 2 seconds until they are dropped.

How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 236.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 50000 per tick. It applies the bleeding mechanic. It ticks every 2 sec.

What it does

Grapple is a spell with an instant cast, an unlimited range and an effect that lasts until cancelled. When cast it applies an aura and applies an aura with the bleeding mechanic every 2 sec.

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.
