N'Zoth inflicts terrible anguish upon the player, inflicting 40 Shadow damage, draining 5 sanity every 1 sec, and reducing the player's movement speed by 33% while within the area.

How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 40 per tick. It ticks every 1 sec.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 33. Its base value is -33. It applies the snared mechanic.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 260.

What it does

Anguish is a Shadow spell with an instant cast, an unlimited range and an effect that lasts until cancelled. When cast it applies an aura every 1 sec, applies an aura with the snared mechanic and applies an aura.

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.
