Gestate

Tooltip

Inflicts 15.48 Shadow damage every 2 sec to a random player and all players for 5 sec. Stuns the initial target while a Plague Amalgam gestates within the player.

On expiration, the Plague Amalgam will spawn 5 yards from that player.

How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 226. Its base value is 265215 per tick. It ticks every 2 sec.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 12.

What it does

Gestate is a Shadow spell with an instant cast, a range of 500 yards and effects that last 5 sec. When cast it applies an aura every 2 sec and applies an aura. The client files the whole spell under the stunned 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.
