Rot

How it works

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

Effect 1 is Trigger Missile (effect type 32). Its area radius is 3 yards. It triggers Rot.
Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 4.

What it does

Rot is a spell with an instant cast, a range of 20 yards and effects that last 2 sec. When cast it launches a missile in a 3 yard radius and applies an aura. It also casts Rot (record #203536).

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.

Multiple client spell records exist

The game client stores 14 separate Spell records named "Rot". This page is record #203535. They are not merged: each record can belong to a different difficulty, caster, rank or tuning, so each keeps its own page. The 12 records closest by id are compared here.
