Maims the enemy for Physical damage, reducing movement speed by 30% for 6 sec.

How it works

Casting it triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown.

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 33. Its base value is -30. It applies the snared mechanic.
  2. Effect 2 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 1.6349.

What it does

Hamstring is a Physical spell with an instant cast, a range of 5 yards, an 8 sec cooldown and effects that last 6 sec. When cast it applies an aura with the snared mechanic and deals Physical damage (base value 1.6349).

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.
