Haywire

Tooltip

Going haywire! Confuses the caster and deals Nature damage to nearby targets. Lasts 6 sec.

How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 5.
  2. Effect 2 is Persistent Area Aura (effect type 27). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 5 per tick. Its area radius is 10 yards. It ticks every 1 sec, 6 times over the full 6 sec (30 base in total).
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 33. Its base value is -50.

What it does

Haywire is a Nature spell with a 3 sec cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 6 sec. When cast it applies an aura and leaves a persistent area effect on the ground in a 10 yard radius every 1 sec.

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.
