How it works

Suffering is built from 4 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Dummy (effect type 3). It applies the infected mechanic. It triggers Suffering.
  2. Effect 2 is Dummy (effect type 3). It triggers Suffering.
  3. Effect 3 is Dummy (effect type 3). Its base value is 100. It triggers Suffering.
  4. Effect 4 is Dummy (effect type 3).

What it does

Suffering is a Shadow spell with a 4 sec cast and an unlimited range. It also casts Suffering (record #358442), Suffering (record #358438) and Suffering (record #358439).

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.
