Casting a spell removes a stack of Cripple.

How it works

Its dispel type is client id 1. Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 193. Its base value is -50. Its area radius is 70 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 33. Its base value is 25. Its area radius is 70 yards.

What it does

Cripple is a Shadow spell with a 2 sec cast, an unlimited range and effects that last 10 sec. When cast it applies an aura in a 70 yard radius. The client files the whole spell under the snared mechanic. It stacks up to 6 times.

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.
