Hamstring the enemy, inflicting Physical damage and reducing their movement speed by 25% for 5 sec.

How it works

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 -25. It applies the snared mechanic.
  2. Effect 2 is Weapon % Damage (effect type 31). Its base value is 25.

What it does

Hamstring is a Physical spell with a 1.5 sec cast, a range of 5 yards and effects that last 5 sec. When cast it applies an aura with the snared mechanic and deals a percentage of weapon damage (base value 25).

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.
