Hex

Tooltip

Transforms the enemy into a frog for 8 sec. While hexed, the victim is incapacitated, and cannot attack or cast spells. Damage may cancel the effect. Limit 1. Only works on Humanoids and Beasts.

How it works

Casting it triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown. Its dispel type is client id 2. Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

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 60.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 260.

What it does

Hex is a Nature spell with a 1.7 sec cast, a range of 30 yards, a 30 sec cooldown and effects that last 8 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.
