Maims the enemy, causing 0.754607 damage and slowing the enemy's movement by 50% for 15 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 School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 0.7546. It scales with 1 times spell power.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 33. Its base value is -50. It applies the snared mechanic.

What it does

Hamstring is a Physical spell with an instant cast, a range of 5 yards and effects that last 15 sec. When cast it deals Physical damage (base value 0.7546) and applies an aura with the snared mechanic.

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.
