Measures the level of corruption on the target.

How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 226. It ticks every 1 sec.
  2. Effect 2 is effect type 174, which the datamine does not name. It applies aura type 4. Its base value is -50. Its area radius is 100 yards.

What it does

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

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.
