Siphon Essence

How it works

Siphon Essence is built from 3 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 23. It ticks every 15 sec. It triggers Orb Controller - Activate.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 26.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 147.

What it does

Siphon Essence is a spell with an instant cast, a range of 45 yards and effects that last 15 sec. When cast it applies an aura every 15 sec and applies an aura. It also casts Orb Controller - Activate.

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.
