How it works

Each cast of Slow costs 140 Mana. 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 -54.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 193. Its base value is -60.

What it does

Slow is an Arcane spell with a 2 sec cast, a range of 30 yards and effects that last 10 sec. When cast it applies an aura. 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.
