How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is effect type 77, which the datamine does not name. It applies the knockbacked mechanic.
  2. Effect 2 is effect type 77, which the datamine does not name. It applies the knockbacked mechanic. Its area radius is 25 yards.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 4. It applies the knockbacked mechanic. Its area radius is 25 yards.

What it does

Gravity Well is a Shadow spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 10 sec. When cast it applies an aura with the knockbacked mechanic in a 25 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.
