How it works

Each cast of Garrote costs 45 Energy. Casting it triggers a 1 sec global cooldown. Its dispel type is client id 11.

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 3. It scales with 0.4515 times attack power. It applies the bleeding mechanic. It ticks every 2 sec, 9 times over the full 18 sec.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 4.
  3. Effect 3 is Energize (effect type 30). Its base value is 1.
  4. Effect 4 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 271.

What it does

Garrote is a Physical spell with an instant cast, a range of 5 yards, a 6 sec cooldown and effects that last 18 sec. When cast it applies an aura with the bleeding mechanic every 2 sec, applies an aura and restores a resource (base value 1). The client files the whole spell under the bleeding mechanic.

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.
