Hex

How it works

Its dispel type is client id 1.

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 56.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 5.
  3. Effect 3 is effect type 108, which the datamine does not name.

What it does

Hex is a Nature spell with an instant cast, a range of 45 yards and effects that last 20 sec. When cast it applies an aura. The client files the whole spell under the polymorphed 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.
