Brood Assassins periodically hurl a poisoned dagger at a random target that inflicts 3.5 Nature damage initially and 2 Nature damage every 2 sec for 30 sec.

How it works

Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 3.5.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 2 per tick. It ticks every 2 sec, 15 times over the full 30 sec (30 base in total).

What it does

Assassinate is a Nature spell with an instant cast, a range of 100 yards and effects that last 30 sec. When cast it deals Nature damage (base value 3.5) and applies an aura every 2 sec. It stacks up to 99 times.

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.
