How it works

Necrotic Breath is built from 3 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 15 per tick. It ticks every 0.5 sec, 20 times over the full 10 sec (300 base in total).
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 260.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 118. Its base value is -50.

What it does

Necrotic Breath is a Shadow spell with an instant cast, a range of 100 yards and effects that last 10 sec. When cast it applies an aura every 0.5 sec and applies an aura.

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.
