Hex

How it works

Casting it triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown. Its dispel type is client id 1.

Hex is built from 3 client effects, applied in this order:

Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 56. It applies the polymorphed mechanic.
Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 5. It applies the polymorphed mechanic.
Effect 3 is effect type 108, which the datamine does not name. It applies the polymorphed mechanic.

What it does

Hex is a Nature spell with a 1.5 sec cast, a range of 100 yards, a 10 sec cooldown and effects that last 30 sec. When cast it applies an aura with the polymorphed mechanic. The client files the whole spell under the polymorphed mechanic.

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the MoP Classic client, build 5.5.4.70268. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.

Multiple client spell records exist

The game client stores 76 separate Spell records named "Hex". This page is record #133034. They are not merged: each record can belong to a different difficulty, caster, rank or tuning, so each keeps its own page. The 12 records closest by id are compared here.
