Stormguard Gorren imbues a player with 4 charges of void, inflicting 3.5 Shadow damage every 1 sec for 5 sec.

Upon removal, a charge of void is expended and a transference of those energies to the nearest player.

How it works

Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

Chaotic Corruption 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 3.5 per tick. It applies the infected mechanic. It ticks every 1 sec, 5 times over the full 5 sec (17.5 base in total).
  2. Effect 2 is Dummy (effect type 3). Its base value is 4.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 61. Its base value is 20.

What it does

Chaotic Corruption is a Shadow spell with an instant cast, an unlimited range and effects that last 5 sec. When cast it applies an aura with the infected mechanic every 1 sec and applies an aura. It stacks up to 4 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.
