Torment

How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 23. It ticks every 0.5 sec. It triggers Torment.
  2. Effect 2 is Knock Back (effect type 98). Its base value is 40. Its area radius is 2 yards.

What it does

Torment is a spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and an effect that lasts until cancelled. When cast it applies an aura every 0.5 sec and has a Knock Back effect in a 2 yard radius. It also casts Torment (record #99253).

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.
