How it works

Suppression is built from 3 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Dummy (effect type 3). Its base value is 225040.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 33. Its base value is -50.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 79. Its base value is -50.

What it does

Suppression is an Arcane spell with an instant cast, a range of 30 yards and effects that last 30 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.
