Creeping Rot

How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 23. It ticks every 0.2 sec, 40 times over the full 10 sec. It triggers Creeping Rot.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 395.

What it does

Creeping Rot is a spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 10 sec. When cast it applies an aura every 0.2 sec and applies an aura. It also casts Creeping Rot (record #261497).

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.
