Tooltip

Chains strike an enemy and all enemies for 20 Shadow damage.

In addition, the abductor tries to pull chained players off the platform, being less effective when trying to pull higher numbers of targets, even risking being dragged to the platform if enough players run against the chains.

How it works

Dragging Chains is built from 3 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 226. Its area radius is 5 yards. It ticks every 0.5 sec, 12 times over the full 6 sec.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 485. Its base value is 100. Its area radius is 5 yards.
  3. Effect 3 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 20. Its area radius is 5 yards.

What it does

Dragging Chains is a Shadow spell with a 4 sec cast, an unlimited range and effects that last 6 sec. When cast it applies an aura in a 5 yard radius every 0.5 sec, applies an aura in a 5 yard radius and deals Shadow damage (base value 20) in a 5 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.

Multiple client spell records exist

The game client stores 8 separate Spell records named "Dragging Chains". This page is record #356010. They are not merged: each record can belong to a different difficulty, caster, rank or tuning, so each keeps its own page.
