In addition, players will be teleported randomly twice while afflicted.

How it works

Retch is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 11 per tick. It ticks every 1.5 sec, 8 times over the full 12 sec (88 base in total).
  2. Effect 2 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 40.

What it does

Retch is a Shadow spell with a 3 sec cast, a range of 100 yards and effects that last 12 sec. When cast it applies an aura every 1.5 sec and deals Shadow damage (base value 40).

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.
