How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 39000.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 33. Its base value is -50.

What it does

Hamstring is a Physical spell with an instant cast, a range of 5 yards and effects that last 10 sec. When cast it deals Physical damage (base value 39000) and applies an aura. 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.
