How it works

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

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 33. Its base value is -50. It applies the snared mechanic.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 218. Its base value is -60.

What it does

Slow is an Arcane spell with an instant cast, a range of 35 yards and effects that last 15 sec. When cast it applies an aura with the snared mechanic and applies an aura.
