Transforms an enemy into a frog, rendering it unable to attack or cast spells for 6 sec.

How it works

Casting it triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown. 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 a 1.5 sec cast, a range of 20 yards and effects that last 6 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.
