How it works

Asphyxiate is built from 4 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 201.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 164.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 155. Its base value is -98.
  4. Effect 4 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 33. Its base value is -30.

What it does

Asphyxiate is a spell with an instant cast, a range of 300 yards and an effect that lasts until cancelled. When cast it 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.
