Transforms an enemy into a frog, rendering it unable to attack or cast spells for 12 sec. Also causes the target to take 50% increased damage from all sources.

How it works

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. Its area radius is 100 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 5. Its area radius is 100 yards.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 87. Its base value is 50. Its area radius is 100 yards.

What it does

Hex is a Nature spell with an instant cast, a range of 100 yards and effects that last 12 sec. When cast it applies an aura in a 100 yard radius.

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.
