Tooltip

Shadowy tendrils constrict an enemy's throat, silencing them for 4 sec ( when used on a target who is casting a spell).

How it works

It does not trigger the global cooldown, so it can be used between other casts. Its dispel type is client id 1. Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 27. Its base value is 1. It applies the silenced mechanic.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 4.

What it does

Strangulate is a Shadow spell with an instant cast, a range of 20 yards, a 45 sec cooldown and effects that last 4 sec. When cast it applies an aura with the silenced mechanic and applies an aura. The client files the whole spell under the silenced 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.
