At full energy, curses an enemy, rendering it unable to attack or cast spells for 5 sec. Upon expiring, spreads to players.

How it works

It does not trigger the global cooldown, so it can be used between other casts. Its dispel type is client id 2.

Crawling Hex is built from 5 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 60.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 56.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 67.
  4. Effect 4 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 278.
  5. Effect 5 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 254.

What it does

Crawling Hex is a Nature spell with an instant cast, a range of 100 yards, a 3 sec cooldown and effects that last 5 sec. When cast it applies an aura. The client files the whole spell under the polymorphed mechanic.

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.
