Grievous Wound

Tooltip

Bleed for 1.4 Physical damage every 3 seconds. This effect stacks.

How it works

Its dispel type is client id 11. Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 1.4 per tick. It ticks every 3 sec, 100 times over the full 5 min (140 base in total).
  2. Effect 2 is Dummy (effect type 3). Its base value is 90.
  3. Effect 3 is Dummy (effect type 3). Its base value is 1.

What it does

Grievous Wound is a spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 5 min. When cast it applies an aura every 3 sec. The client files the whole spell under the bleeding mechanic. It stacks up to 4 times.

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.
