Torment

Tooltip

Deals increasing Shadow damage over time to the nearest target. While a target is being Tormented, single-target direct heals received will grant the healer one charge of Vital Spark for each three applications of Torment.

How it works

Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 4000.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 4.

What it does

Torment is a Shadow spell with an instant cast, a range of 30 yards and effects that last 2 sec. When cast it deals Shadow damage (base value 4000) and applies an aura. It stacks up to 100 times.

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.
