Transforms an enemy into a frog, rendering it unable to attack or cast spells for 12 sec.

How it works

It does not trigger the global cooldown, so it can be used between other casts. Its dispel type is client id 1.

Hex is built from 2 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 12.

What it does

Hex is a Nature spell with a 2 sec cast, a range of 20 yards, a 48 sec cooldown and effects that last 12 sec. When cast it applies an aura. The client files the whole spell under the stunned 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.

The game client stores 76 separate Spell records named "Hex". This page is record #173156. They are not merged: each record can belong to a different difficulty, caster, rank or tuning, so each keeps its own page. The 12 records closest by id are compared here.
