A tentacle crushes its prey for 12 Physical damage every 1 sec for 8 sec.

How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is effect type 140, which the datamine does not name. It triggers Grab.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 23. It ticks every 1 sec, 8 times over the full 8 sec. It triggers Grab.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 4.

What it does

Grab is a spell with a 1 sec cast, a range of 100 yards and effects that last 8 sec. When cast it applies an aura every 1 sec and applies an aura. It also casts Grab (record #342441) and Grab (record #342443).

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.
