Increases damage caused by your Corruption and Immolate by 12%.

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 108. Its base value is 12.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 108. Its base value is 12.

What it does

Corruption is a spell with an instant cast and no range (it targets the caster). 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.
