How it works

Desiccation is built from 4 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 79. Its base value is -50.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 33. Its base value is 50. It applies the snared mechanic.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 61. Its base value is -20.
  4. Effect 4 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 226. It ticks every 0.5 sec.

What it does

Desiccation is a Nature spell with an instant cast, an unlimited range and an effect that lasts until cancelled. When cast it applies an aura, applies an aura with the snared mechanic and applies an aura every 0.5 sec.

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.
