How it works

Oil Slick 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 5 per tick. It ticks every 1 sec.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 33. Its base value is -30. It applies the snared mechanic.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 260.

What it does

Oil Slick is a Nature spell with an instant cast, a range of 300 yards and an effect that lasts until cancelled. When cast it applies an aura every 1 sec, applies an aura with the snared mechanic 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.
