How it works

Its dispel type is client id 11.

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 70. Its base value is 30 per tick. It ticks every 3 sec.

What it does

Serious Wound is a spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 10 sec. When cast it applies an aura every 3 sec. The client files the whole spell under the bleeding mechanic.

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.
