How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 87. Its base value is 25.
  2. Effect 2 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 20.

What it does

Sting is a Physical spell with a 1 sec cast, a range of 7 yards and effects that last 6 sec. When cast it applies an aura and deals Physical damage (base value 20).

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.
