Tooltip

Gorian Warmages slow a random player, reducing their movement, attack and spell casting speed by 50% for 45 sec.

How it works

Its dispel type is client id 1.

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 33. Its base value is -50. Its area radius is 500 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 193. Its base value is -50. Its area radius is 500 yards.

What it does

Slow is an Arcane spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 45 sec. When cast it applies an aura in a 500 yard radius. The client files the whole spell under the snared 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.
