How it works

Spells that share its cooldown category wait 20 sec after it is cast. It does not trigger the global cooldown, so it can be used between other casts.

Taint of the Sea is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 4. Its base value is 30.
  2. Effect 2 is Trigger Spell (effect type 64). It triggers Taint of the Sea.

What it does

Taint of the Sea is a Frost spell with an instant cast, a range of 40 yards, a 2 min cooldown and effects that last 15 sec. When cast it applies an aura. It also casts Taint of the Sea (record #215672).

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the current retail game build. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
