How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 23. It ticks every 0.5 sec, 12 times over the full 6 sec. It triggers Gripping Shadows.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 23. It ticks every 0.5 sec, 12 times over the full 6 sec. It triggers Gravity Well.

What it does

Gripping Shadows is a spell with a 12 sec cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 6 sec. When cast it applies an aura every 0.5 sec. The client files the whole spell under the knockbacked mechanic. It also casts Gripping Shadows (record #249467) and Gravity Well.

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.
