Decay

How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is effect type 144, which the datamine does not name. Its base value is 75. Its area radius is 2 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 4. Its area radius is 2 yards.

What it does

Decay is a spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 2 sec. When cast it applies an aura in a 2 yard radius.

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.
