Corrupts the target, causing Shadow damage over 12 sec.

How it works

It does not trigger the global cooldown, so it can be used between other casts. Its dispel type is client id 1.

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 50 per tick. It ticks every 1 sec, 12 times over the full 12 sec (600 base in total).

What it does

Corruption is a Shadow spell with a 1.5 sec cast, a range of 15 yards, a 3 sec cooldown and effects that last 12 sec. 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.
