A vicious attack that causes the target to bleed profusely until fully healed. Deals 1096 to 1304 damage every 2 seconds until healed.

How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 1096 per tick. It applies the bleeding mechanic. It ticks every 2 sec.
  2. Effect 2 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 3150.

What it does

Grievous Wound is a Physical spell with an instant cast, a range of 5 yards and an effect that lasts until cancelled. When cast it applies an aura with the bleeding mechanic every 2 sec and deals Physical damage (base value 3150). The client files the whole spell under the bleeding 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.
