Tooltip

Inflicts 0.674032 damage to an enemy every 3 sec. for 18 sec. when attacking from stealth.

How it works

Casting it triggers a 1 sec global cooldown. Its dispel type is client id 11.

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 0.674 per tick. It scales with 0.1 times spell power. It applies the bleeding mechanic. It ticks every 3 sec, 6 times over the full 18 sec (4.04 base in total).

What it does

Garrote is a spell with an instant cast, a range of 5 yards and effects that last 18 sec. When cast it applies an aura with the bleeding mechanic every 3 sec. 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.
