Tooltip

The target is attacked by a manifestation of their hidden desires. If the victim fails to face the attack they take 60 Shadow damage and are afflicted with an additional application.

How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is effect type 254, which the datamine does not name. It applies the infected mechanic.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 4.
  3. Effect 3 is Dummy (effect type 3). It triggers Hidden Desire.

What it does

Hidden Desire is a Shadow spell with a 2 sec cast, a range of 100 yards and an effect that lasts until cancelled. When cast it applies an aura. It also casts Hidden Desire (record #335324).

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.
